Executive Assistant to globally renowned Cosmetic Dentist Dr APA, Mahsa Nikdar talks us through her daily beauty routine Talk us through your morning routine? I tend to wake up most mornings naturally by 6:00am, without an alarm, even on my days off. The first thing I do is to light a candle in my master bathroom by Byredo, brush my teeth with my Apa Beauty Toothbrush of course, shower, wash my face with ice cold water – La Mer Facial Gel, followed up by the thick La Mer cream (which I’ve been using for years).

make sure to stock up on this when I’m back home in Copenhagen. I follow this with the lightweight foundation by Giorgio Armani, Chanel blush and mascara, I prefer as minimal makeup as possible. How does your evening routine differ? I try to not eat anything or have any screen-time/ blue-light past 8pm, to get me ready for bed by 10pm, I’ve set my phone to go on nightmode from 8pm onwards. I wash my face with La Mer Gel (always double cleanse!) then use Mario Badescu’s facial spray on
cotton to remove the excess and followed by Shani Darden Retinol oil. At night I love to sleep with a thick heavy cream, I just started using Augustinus Bader Thick Cream, I really do get the buzz now, I feel it does wonders to my skin while I’m sleeping. What are your go-to skincare products? Elnett hairspray for the pulled back high ponytail for weekends, I’ve been using it as long as I remember. Are you a fan of masks? I’m a big fan of LED light masks. My best friend since high school
