Lupita Nyong’o feels “most beautiful” after she takes a cold shower.
The actor has opened up about her best beauty tips. Nyong’o has revealed she enjoys bathing in cold water because it gives her a rush and makes her feel euphoric.
“I feel most beautiful after a cold shower. It exhilarates you. You get this whoosh of like dopamine or something and I feel like dancing. It’s a lovely feeling when I feel euphoria … ” she explained in a video for Harper’s Bazaar.
“I just believe in taking care of myself. It looks like self-awareness. That’s what self-care means to me,” she added of her self-care routine.
Nyong’o also spoke about her love of fashion and revealed her personal style has become more “daring” over the years because she previously handed her stylist a long list of clothing trends that she refused to wear.
“What I’ve learned about style over the years is that it doesn’t have to change with the trends. You can establish your own style and build on it at your own pace,” the Oscar-winning actor stated.
“My personal style … how has it evolved? When I first started working with my stylist … I gave her a list of things I would never wear and it included velvet [and] bias cut. I think I said I wouldn’t wear frills, I wouldn’t wear peplum. But, anyway, I’ve worn all of it, so I guess I’ve grown more daring,” Nyong’o said.
“Always dress to respect yourself and the event that you’re going to,” she concluded, sharing her best fashion advice that was given to her by her mom.
