Katya Kabak: “Self-care Includes A Pinch Of Healthy Egoism, A Pinch Of Self-indulgence And Passion”

2023 Author: Henry Pass | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-11-27 21:12

Beauty starts from the inside - this is the truth. But she does not at all prohibit indulging herself with beauty rituals. The actress Katya Kabak shared her self-care secrets with us. In her arsenal there are both rare brands and budget funds. And she was also convinced from her own experience that one should not neglect her mother's advice and certainly limit herself in anything. As we found out, being like a screen star is not that difficult. The main thing is the sparkle in the eyes and the right care. But straight to the point: you can find and order all of Katya's favorite products on iHerb.

About self-love

Self-love is when in the morning you drink water with lemon, make yourself freshly squeezed green juice, drink matcha, and in the evening you allow yourself 100 grams of alcohol. Well, or else you eat pasta in the evening. I believe that self-love is listening to your own desires and pampering yourself with great love at the moments when there are some "wishes". Of course, you need to be moderately strict, realizing that there is still a regime. Severity is always for the good of health, and taking care of your health is the same manifestation of self-love.

About accepting your body

The path of accepting yourself and your body is a separate long and detailed conversation. I am sure that every person has their own huge history of self-acceptance. As for me, I must say that I am an actress and for me my body is a working tool. Therefore, for me, accepting myself for who I am - minus 20 kg or plus 20 kg, with cubes or swollen with fat - these are just different forms of existence.

In fact, I would like everyone to feel like an actor. And he could feel and understand with every cell of the body that it does not matter, 20 kg more or less, with or without cubes - there is no good or bad. It's just a different state of you that you need to learn to accept.

The most important thing in this is to love yourself. If you don't like sitting and feeling a wrinkle of fat on your side, then the best thing a person can do is begin to love and accept themselves for who they are. Only this will begin the transformation process, weight loss. When a person consciously says to himself: “Yes, damn it, I don’t like my state, but I still love myself and will not do what I don’t want. I will not harm myself. Everything should come from love: sports, body care procedures, and even some painful things - for example, twine, stretching. Everyone needs to be made with love, then success is achieved faster and in general everything works out.

It seems to me that the big problem of people who fail to introduce sports into their lives is that they forget that sports should be done with love. Especially at first. That is why it is so important to buy yourself a new form, be inspired by some song, do something for positive associations, develop a neural connection, that sport is a thrill. All this is within our power. And for some reason we tune ourselves up that sport is terrible, it’s hardship, it’s always "through force." Do not do like this. You just have to find the sport that you like. If you don't like it, you don't have to go to the gym, like everyone else on Instagram. You just need to find fencing, equestrian sports, tennis - whatever gets you involved in regular training. And then you can connect something else to achieve your individual goals.

About morning rituals

My morning always starts with a glass of water. I always try to drink warm water about 20 minutes before breakfast, because our bodies are still asleep during this time. When you wake up, the rest of the organs are also slowly awakening with you, they need to be awakened. Lately, I have been doing light joint gymnastics every morning: I work it out a little, letting all parts of my body wake up. Now I am in the filming period of one project, and there are daily wakes at 4-5 in the morning. Earlier, with such early ascents, I wanted to curl up into a ball and sleep a little in the car, but this made me feel even more "smeared". Now, waking up, I do gymnastics on the sly - this gives me vigor throughout my body. This is a great thrill, but it takes just a few minutes: you turn on your favorite song and warm up. And by the way, I love to dance naked:I play my favorite music and dance. And if I have time and I have an extended morning, then I take a contrast shower and wash my face with cold water.

About the inability to relax

This is a difficult question for me. Maybe we can skip it? Because it seems to me that my answer will be boring. It's hard for me to relax: I'm a squirrel man. I have a lot of energy. Recently, I went on my day off to a spa, a medical center, a special sanatorium. I had 6 treatments and they all focused on relaxation with a relaxing herbal tea at the end. A woman at this medical center says: “You have had so many relaxation procedures that you will fall asleep in the car. Hold on a little longer, drive to the hotel and go to bed. " But I am such a "squirrel" and a workaholic that I left the center and instead of getting by car, I went on foot. I was generating so much energy that I wanted to spend it a little more. So it's hard for me to relax, but I'm working on it. I try to learn to let go of thoughts, let go of my own performance. I try to do such pleasant things - for example, go to the spa.

IT IS NECESSARY NOT TO GET RID OF FEAR, BUT TO MEET HIM FACE TO FACE

About small weaknesses and how to deal with them

I'm just pampering myself. Dot.

About the beauty of the external and internal (and how to take care of them)

I am a fan of the bath. I go to the bathhouse regularly once a week. Only expeditions, projects, work in another city can interrupt my continuity. I love to be tempered. I like to say that self-care includes a dash of healthy selfishness, a dash of self-indulgence, passion, and self-care. For me, self-care is also reading books, watching interesting films, going to exhibitions. I think that a person is beautiful when he also has beauty inside him, which must be maintained, not only physical, but also mental, moral.

About makeup

I try not to paint at all outside of shooting and work - I give my skin a rest. My maximum for every day outside of filming is to paint my eyelashes and use chapstick. All. I even go to events just with painted eyelashes. Probably, this is also about self-acceptance. I think it's important to accept yourself as anyone. And I can really go shopping for groceries in my pajamas, with a "nest" on my head and not be embarrassed by what people think of me. In general, when a person thinks that others will say about him there, and tries to dress up for the sake of others, this is a path to a terrible state of unhappiness and internal dependencies: no one cares, all passers-by walk by, even if they undress on the street or start dancing ritual African dances. I can do this because I believe that it will only cause smiles and create moments of joy for others,that their day was for a second unusual and not everyday. I see only advantages in this. But for some reason, most people are in fear. I've been talking a lot about fear lately. It seems to me that fear is the main feeling in people's lives, and not some kind of love or other things. I think that one should not get rid of fear, but rather face it face to face. And then this is the path to development, inner harmony and happiness. If you are afraid to go out without makeup, then go out without makeup. Face your fear! Make it so that you are seen without makeup. After that comes the acceptance of this fear - and you become invulnerable. It seems to me that this is important, so makeup does not play a big role for me. I try not to have it in my everyday life, as there is a lot of it in my work. I see only advantages in this. But for some reason, most people are in fear. I've been talking a lot about fear lately.

Why is it joyful to be a beauty golfer

Here it must be said that I am a beautygolic. I have a huge amount of personal care products, I love testing new products, and I have a separate cabinet in the bathroom with the products still sealed. And there will be enough funds for six months in advance. For example, 3-4 new eye creams. I really love skin care products. I also have a lot of cosmetics, I just rarely use it - only if I have inspiration and want to experiment. It happens that all of a sudden I want to make myself crazy strange arrows for an event - and for this I need my arsenal of cosmetics.

On the evolution of personal care

I was lucky to have my mom. She told me from childhood that you need to take care of yourself and your skin. And from the age of seventeen I started using light creams. Of course, now my care system has changed a lot. Over the years, you try, understand what suits you and what doesn't, choose products that you are confident in, that you are ready to share with your friends. I think my departure has become systematic. Previously, there was no system - there was just some kind of care: I bought a product on the advice of consultants in the store or because I liked the packaging. I didn’t think why, why, how it would be combined with those that I already have.

Only recently I began to understand that it is very important to know the composition, how the ingredients of one cream or serum are combined with other means. There are many nuances, and I was convinced of this on my skin. For example, some things do not work because of the composition, if you immediately apply the cream after the serum. You need to wait a while for everything to be absorbed, and only then apply the cream. And with other products it is necessary the other way around: apply the cream immediately to the serum, until it is completely absorbed into the skin. This is all very important. Now I have a system of what I do and when. My calendar now has a special schedule for when and what procedures for the care of myself and my skin I do. I will repeat once again: now I have formed a systematic approach to self-care.

PERSONAL CARE INCLUDES A DIPS OF HEALTHY SELFISHNESS, A DIPS OF PALMATION, PASSION AND SELF-CARE

About beauty life hacks

I'm going in 10 minutes. Even for evening events where the dress code is black tie. For example, I use my fingers to apply and blend shadows. A life hack is not even in the fingers, not in the ability to do it, but in the fact that it is better to invest in some high-quality shadows that will cool off, do not crumble and hold on for a long time. Then they can be applied very easily. If you are buying not very high-quality eyeshadows, then no matter how hard you try - apply them with brushes or fingers - it will still look ugly. Therefore, I am sure: it is better not to buy 10 products, but to buy one palette of eyeshadows that will last a long time, and in 10 minutes you will do such makeup with your fingers that people will ask who did it to you, and admire what beautiful shadows you have. … Of course, sometimes there is a mood to prepare for some holiday, event,sign up for a salon for styling or do curls for yourself for a long time and with feeling. But 90% of the time I'm going in 10 minutes.

About what is always in a cosmetic bag

Antiseptic - on the topic of the day, hygienic lipstick and mascara. All! There is nothing else.

And personal favorites

Let's start with the fact that lips dry very much in winter. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Berry Night Mask is the perfect remedy. Apply at night - it smells delicious at night, and by the morning you have very nourished cool lips. I have already presented this tool to all my friends in a circle. I highly recommend you: I have not yet met a single person who would not be delighted with him.

Then I would like to talk about Jane Iredale and bareMinerals cosmetics - these are two brands that are based on minerals. And since half a year ago I had an unpleasant episode with the appearance of inflammation on the skin, I completely switched to mineral cosmetics: it does not clog pores - on the contrary, it only helps to cleanse and regulate sebum. For any person with problem skin, and in general for everyone who is worried that cosmetics do not harm the skin, the best cosmetics is mineral. Jane Iredale has both a foundation and a very cool tea tree oil concealer. A good composition that not only covers everything, starting from scars and pimples, but also dries out inflammation: I applied it in the morning, worried that something was inflamed there, and most likely after this remedy everything will go away. I also love their Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner.which takes care of the skin of the eyelids, since it is also mineral. Jane Iredale is the only brand that can be used immediately after chemical peels. I have a lot of funds from this brand. BareMinerals have a cool blush. I really love their Gen Nude powdery peach blush.

JANE IREDALE EYE LINER, MYSTIKOL

HIGHLIGHTER & SHADOWS THEBALM COSMETICS, MARY-LOU MANIZER

Highlighter is theBalm Cosmetics, Mary-Lou Manizer. I tried many different, more and less expensive. This one is the most versatile and classy, which has been living in my cosmetic bag for several years, I couldn't find it better. The big plus is that I always apply it with my fingers. If in one layer, then it gives a very laconic glow. But if you need to make the skin glow during filming or an evening out, then you can apply it in several layers. It has a great layering and gives a noble glow, unlike other highlighters where you become like a rock star. Not everyone loves it in everyday life.

Also in my top are the Honey Belle black obsidian face massager. It seems to me that he does not even need a special explanation. I keep the roller in the refrigerator: I have a small refrigerator in my bedroom at home, just for cosmetics, masks and patches. I don't like it when my skin care products are side by side with cucumbers, so there is a small separate refrigerator for cosmetics. In the morning, to invigorate and tone the skin, I apply a serum and use this massager. It helps all products to be absorbed faster. It will be more effective with a massager to walk along special lines: train for the first few times and quickly learn the correct massage movements.

Further - ink. I have long eyelashes from birth, so one of the most popular questions I get asked in life and on Instagram is what kind of mascara I use. Eyelashes are my fetish. I can paint them for a long time, because the direction in which you move your hand, in which direction you apply, there will be a completely different look. I love the jet black Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes. This mascara is budget and cool at the same time. I first tried it when I lived in London. In my opinion, this mascara is not sold in any cosmetic store, except on iHerb. I order it there.

Hair Spray - R + Co Pinstripe Intense Detangling Spray. I have very long, thick hair, and when it is straightened and curled on the set, there is a constant thermal effect - the hair is very dry. This is a cool spray that detangles any bouffant, helps hair get silky much faster and serves as a great base for styling. I really love this brand, because they have all the fragrances created in partnership with Byredo - the perfume house, so almost every product is also a very cool selective hair perfume that is a pleasure to use when applied.

When it comes to body products, I love that they are versatile enough. I often just have coconut oil: for example, I take it with me on trips. If you didn’t know, then you can take a teaspoon of coconut oil, hold it in your mouth a little - and this will be the best antiseptic. Many people in Asia use it as a substitute for brushing their teeth and for maintaining oral hygiene by simply rinsing it out and spitting it out. Plus, coconut oil can be used in place of shaving gel, as a tanning oil, and of course to moisturize the skin. But there is a little secret: to moisturize the skin, and not dry it out, you need to apply coconut oil as soon as you get out of the shower, while the skin is still slightly damp. Then the oil will just nourish. And if the oil is applied to dry skin, then it can become a film, and the effect will be completely different.

MASCARA FOR EYELASHES MAYBELLINE

ORGANIC COCONUT OIL CALIFORNIA GOLD NUTRITION

Another favorite when traveling is Skin79 Aloe, Jeju Aloe, Aqua Soothing Gel. I always take it with me and it is the best moisturizer for skin in hot countries. It does not create a film effect on the skin, it nourishes and soothes after the sun.

And finally, the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion corrector. I have known this brand for 10 years, I met him when I lived in London. I was a fan of their body cream. This brand has not been presented in Russia for a very long time, and, by the way, I still don't know where to buy it, except for iHerb. They have quality products and a variety of tones, and this is a cool concealer.
