Secrets behind Love Island’s ‘most beautiful contestant’ – as India Reynolds reveals £12 beauty buy she can’t be without

WITH Love Island finally back on our screens, if you’ve spent more time wondering how India Reynolds looks so fabulous than who she will couple up with, you’ve come to the right place.

The 34-year-old model first appeared on our screens back in 2019, but now, six years later, she looks better than ever.

And luckily for you, here we can reveal the secrets behind All Stars’ ‘most beautiful contestant’ – from the £12 beauty buy she can’t be without, to the mascara she swears by.

India, who graced The Sun’s Page 3 back in 2014, revealed all to Heat on self-care, skincare and her beauty routine. 

So if you want to look fabulous, just like India, but without breaking the bank, we’ve got you covered.

When it comes to self-care, the brunette beauty loves taking her dog out for a “nice long walk” and will always “get ready for bed super early.”

And where self-care products are concerned, the Pour Moi ambassador can’t get enough of Space Masks, which relieve tiredness and eyestrain, and are £16.50 from Feel Unique.

If you’re wondering how India’s skin looks so fabulous, she admitted: “I used to be the worst person for skincare. I used to use face wipes, whack on a bit of Nivea and be good to go.

“My skin, I don’t know how, was always absolutely fine. Then one day, it was like, ‘Na babe, we’re not having it anymore!’ and I was getting breakouts. I’ve recently started a proper skincare routine and it’s really working.”

Now, India swears by Obagi, AKA the medical skincare brand loved by the whole of Celebsville.

She beamed: “I love their exfoliating cleanser and moisturiser. I also love the Dermologica Pre Cleanse, which I use before the Obagi cleanser.”

But the star then revealed the £12 buy she couldn’t be without, as she shared: “I also love Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid Exfoliant, it’s such a game-changer!”

But it’s not just India who loves the Paula’s Choice viral buy – as the £12 product has racked up thousands of five star reviews online.

Not only have shoppers described the affordable buy, which removes dead skin cells for a smoother, clearer complexion as “the holy grail”, but many also called it the “best exfoliant”.

One shopper said: “I can’t rave about this product enough. It has transformed my dull complexion and has improved the overall texture of my skin.”

Another added: “I have tried a few chemical exfoliants but nothing comes close to this. I feel it’s suitable for all skin types. I wake up in the morning and my skin is glowing.”

Whilst a third commented: “Bought the smaller size to try out and it did not disappoint! Removes any bumps on skin and makes my makeup look so smooth I already bought the bigger size.”

Not only does India love the Paula’s Choice Liquid Exfoliant, but if you’re wondering what’s in her make-up bag, look no further.

Inside you’ll find the Heliocare 360 Colour Gel Oil-Free SPF and the Chanel Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, which she uses for a super “glowy” look.

Not only this, but she also uses the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint Blush Sticks, and thinks they are “absolutely amazing”.

For brushed up brows, India recommends the Benefit brow gel, but if you’re after a budget beauty buy, India couldn’t recommend the L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara enough.

Raving about the £11.99 mascara, which promises intense, elongated lashes, India shared: “I’ve used it for absolutely years. I love it and it’s so cheap.”
