Glamour: What lessons have you

learnt about achieving your goals?

Candice Thurston: Don’t let anyone

say you can’t do it. Be patient,

positive and hard working.

Glamour: What things will

you never compromise on

when it comes to self-care?

CT: Exercise and good skincare

and haircare regimes.

Glamour: What new makeup

product is on your shopping list?

CT: It would de nitely have to be

Maybelline Snapscara Washable

Mascara in Pitch Black (R140).

Glamour: How often do you

go for beauty treatments?

CT: Once a month, I go for laser,

facial threading, intense hair

treatments and gelish on my nails.

Glamour: Which skincare

products do you swear by?

CT: La Mer Crème de la Mer

Moisturising Cream (R2 550)

keeps my skin moisturised, even-

toned, and creates a natural glow.

And I also love Ahava 24K Gold

Mineral Mud Mask (R1 307).

Glamour: What’s the best beauty

advice everyone should follow?

CT: Get enough sleep and always

wear an SPF, as the sun causes the

most damage to your skin and

speeds up aging.

Glamour: Who are your beauty

Instagram crushes right now?

CT: In’ uencer Nandipha

Mqoco (@nandipha_mqoco)

and makeup artist Beez Glam

(@imakeyoubeeliv) are

two of my favourite

beauty Instagrams.

Glamour: How do you keep your

hair looking as good as it is now?

CT: I am obsessed with using Redken

Extreme Cat Protein Reconstructing

Treatment (R456). And I use Mizani

25 Miracle Milk (R230) as a leave-

in and a detangler.

Glamour: What are your

signature scents?

CT: Calvin Klein Be EDT 200ml

(R700) and My Burberry Black

EDP 90ml (R1 970).

Glamour: What do you believe

is the most signi cant barrier

to female success?

CT: Self-hate and self-doubt. We

are our biggest obstacles because

we allow external factors to stop

us from taking a stand and driving

female equality.

Glamour: What would you

tell 18-year-old Candice?

CT: Never say never. And don’t

judge a book by its cover.
