Gabby Windey’s skincare routine is better than yours
Daily Beauty Rituals: The reality TV star, Long Winded podcast host and master of hilarious one-liners shares her nearest and dearest beauty secrets.
The first thing I eat or drink when I wake up is…
I have one sip of water followed by a large coffee with full dairy cream.
My morning skincare regime looks like…
It depends on my mood. Right now, I sit with the Omnilux red light on my neck and chest while answering these questions, so my PR doesn’t kill me. I do like to keep it simple though – kinda – so it’s normally as follows: a 60 second face wash, followed by a Helix something, then vitamin C, then a thick lotion, and SUNSCREEN. Then I’ll rub my new fave device – the Therabody Theraface wand – on various parts of my face, neck and chest.
The soundtrack to my morning routine is…
Gotta Get Thru This by Daniel Bedingfield.
My go-to beauty hack for when I’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
Why are we pulling an all-nighter? My hack is to stay far away from the night.
The product I’ll reach for when I’ve got a pimple is…
I use Bactine, which is a first aid product and a cure all.
My holy grail skincare product is…
Elemis cleansing balm and iS Clinical face wash. I’ve been using both for YEARS.
My best kept beauty secret is…
I don’t keep secrets. They can all be found on reddit under r/skincareaddiction. But don’t forget about body care! I use a RoC retinol stick on my shoulders, elbows, knees, and hands to prevent that leathery skin we will all be doomed by. And it should offset the collection of cigarettes I’ve smoked.
My favourite feature is…
My hair. I’m a Leo moon and they say Leos have good hair. The mane!
My first beauty-related memory is…
When I asked my mom if I could wear mascara in high school and she told me to fuck off.
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Masque Vivant from Biologique Recherche. Your face will look and smell as if you dove right into a pile of shit, but that pile does wonders for your skin. You see the results almost instantly.
The bougiest beauty product I own is…
Probably this Therabody TheraFace wand that I can’t keep my hands off of. Godspeed finding it, but if you do make sure it has both heat and cool settings, not the knockoff’s other sites are selling.
My signature scent is…
Byredo Bibliotheque – and it’s Rihanna’s too.
TikTok made me buy it…
NOTHING! Not once. Ever. For I am better than you.
My top tips for having a good hair day are…
Good product and a blow-out.
The very last product I apply before going to sleep is…
My wife’s lotion.
The secret to a good night’s sleep is…
A wife, hehe!
