Beauty at every age with Mariana Salem
Mariana Salem by Georgia Hilmer
Today we’re interviewing one of my best friends and one of the most beautiful people I know, Mariana Salem. In the interview, we address her early years, her skin journey, her hacks, her tips, and her makeup journey.
The first thing we touched on was her early years with her skin: Mariana says that she was very lucky to have good skin and gives a lot of credit to her mother and father. She says she valued skincare and ritual and made sure to keep it minimal. She also illustrated how skincare was very different back when she was a child and she thought that all you need is a nice short skincare ritual and to have self love!
She also stated that when she was young her skincare routine was cleansing and moisturizing. When Mariana was young the skin goal that was trendy was the less oily the better. To break it down, they did not want to look oily and if you did not look oily you met the trend.
Going into Mariana’s teen years, she began to be smarter about skincare, indicating (meaning) that she was better at knowing her skin and yet did get occassional whiteheads, but didn’t experience blackheads as often. And through Mariana’s teen years, she went to the store we all love: SEPHORA!
A tip that Mariana has given is scents are not always good in products because they could hurt your skin or give you migraines. Mariana also says that she was more conscious about her skin because of her period, puberty and other things.
Over the years, Mariana says that she occassionally switched up her routine to experiment with different things. A brand that she says she loves is Marie Veronique. For Mariana, makeup and skincare are very minimal.
Dring our interview, she sai that a lot of her makeup products were from Clinique when she was growing up. She also said she wanted the natural look for her makeup. Mariana stated that she went through a lot of Bobbi Brown and Clinique and Westman Atelier. She also said that she would pick skincare over makeup and to remember that you are beautiful without any makeup. For the rest of this interview we talked about hacks and tricks and her favorite products.
