The Russian model shares her beauty secrets.


Daria Strokous

In W’s September issue, Daria Strokous played a wild party girl. Off set, the 24-year-old Russian model is a bit more natural. Here, she talks about her exercise routine, beauty essentials, and favorite spa.

Your look in three words: Minimal, sleek, chic.

Five-minute routine: Dry clay in a few drops of water is the perfect cleansing mask. I use it while I’m in the shower.

Never leave the house without: Homeoplasmine for lips, hand sanitizer.
