Madeline Argy’s daily beauty rituals: folk music and Berocca

Got a blossoming relationship with your TikTok FYP? Then you’ll probably have clocked Madeline Argy at some point, possibly in her car, probably recounting a life story with some element of chaos. The leg worm tale alone has scarred a good number of viewers. If you know, you know.

Recently, Argy went viral after she uploaded a video of herself saying: ​“Why does everybody keep asking if I’m dating Central Cee? I’ve literally never heard of him in my entire life” with – you guessed it – Cench in the background, making himself a sandwich. An appearance on the Saving Grace podcast saw her answering a soft ​“mm” to questions about whether or not she was in a relationship. That settles that, then.

With a cool 2.7 million followers over on the app, the 22-year-old has just launched a YouTube channel, where you can hang out and watch her eat ciabatta. Her first upload was a podcast episode titled Sexuality, Relationships and Boundaries, inspired by the wealth of ​“choices” out there for peoples’ sexualities and the confusion this can cause. ​“I tortured myself with the whole labels thing… especially around queer women changing their label,” she says.

We asked Argy to give us an insight into her self-care routine – but there’s a caveat, which she addressed in a TikTok she made about this very FACE article. In an attempt to demonstrate that she isn’t one of those 5am yoga and green juice girlies, she divulged: ​“One time at university I ate an entire bowl of gravy as soup. My preferred cleansing technique is to not wipe any of my make-up off at night, just to apply so much fucking BHA that it sears it all off. When I was younger I wanted acne so bad that I used to rub butter on my skin.” We’re onto you, Madeline…
