I started modelling when I was 18.
You have to stay confident and really
value yourself. Social media is a huge
part of the business now and it’s so
important for kids to know pictures are
there forever. You have to be careful.
My favourite thing right now is a
good under-eye concealer. I love
the Clé de Peau Beauté one. I also like
M.A.C’s Face And Body Foundation –
it gives good coverage, yet you can
still see your skin underneath.
Fragrance is important. Whether
you’re just going out for the day, or on
a date or on the red carpet, it’s the final
touch. I tend to go for a floral scent or
something with woody notes. Michael
Kors Wonderlust is fab because it’s
exciting and very sexy. [Aldridge is
a spokesmodel for the fragrance.]
When I travel, I like to pack things
that make me feel at home and have
a little sense of luxury. I travel so much,

I love to be comfortable, so I always
take candles – I’m such a candle
girl – and Epsom salts for my bath.
My personal trainer is brilliant.
We FaceTime when I’m away and
she gives me great workouts. We
focus on my core and strength, so I
get really strong, fast. I’m better with
one-on-one because I work out much
harder. I’m the kind of person who’d
sit at the back in a class and twiddle
my thumbs, so I need to be pushed.
I exfoliate regularly to keep my
skin looking fresh and young. It
boosts collagen, too. Fish oils are
great for skin, hair and the brain.
Probiotics are also vital.
When I’m in the sun, the face and
décolletage are the most important
areas to protect. I always use SPF30
and SPF50. I’m pretty tanned
naturally, but St Tropez is great
for faking an extra glow.

BEAUTY RULES

“Dry brushing helps lose
water weight and is good
for your body. I do it when
I’m getting ready for the
Victoria’s Secret show.”
