Recently named Ambassador of the Vital Proteins brand, Iris Mittenaere entrusted us with all her beauty secrets. Meeting with Miss Universe 2016.
She enters the room, a relaxed smile on his lips. Far from the Miss universe, Iris Mittenae has not lost her aura. That day, she opted for eph ‘legs, a white tank top and a large brown suede jacket. She came to talk about her new role as an ambassador for the Vital Proteins brand, a pioneer of the collagen to drink in America. Today well established in France, the brand makes many followers for its benefits both on the skin and the joints. For Iris Mittenaere, representing this brand was obvious. In love with Vital Proteins even before she was an ambassador, the young woman tested lots of references for years, without ever being completely satisfied: “I have always come back to Vital Proteins, especially because the format suits me.“Before even writing the story, she had already started. Each morning for years, the old Miss France adds a spoon of the Collagen Peptides in her cafe or in her protein shaker before going to play sports.”He has no taste, and he puts himself in everything so the reflex is very easy to have“,” She comments. “A more plump skin, better hydrated, but also healthy nails and stronger hair. Iris Mittenaere assures it: in a few months we notice a real difference.”Especially in terms of nails, it’s very impressive. I think that’s what we see first because it’s very visual.“For athletes, collagen also aims to strengthen the joints and maintain a normal framework.
It is impossible to speak to the old Miss without mentioning sport, which it has not been happening for many years. Physical activity remains for her a privileged moment and a way to decompress. “”I love Pilates. But what helps me the most mentally, I would say that it is yoga“, says Iris Mittenaere. A routine to which she adds meditation and, if she can, an outdoor ride.”Preferably I go to the woods, with the trees, but I cannot do it too much in Paris. I do it when I get into the north.“”
Collagen is not the only beauty reflex of Iris Mittenaere. To keep a brilliant complexion, she has some golden rules to apply on a daily basis: “I never keep tap water on my skin. In order not to have limestone, I always put a little thermal water that I come to mop after.“Her other beauty tip, the young woman inherited her from her grandmother: when she puts her serum, she doesn’t just leave him.”I really come to do massages and small tapping on my face. I look stupid a little, but it works. When you are all alone in the bathroom, no one sees it“She explains in a laugh.
On her shelves, there is also a perfume: life is beautiful in Lancôme, which she has adopted for some time. Beyond the smell, she finds this fragrance a true philosophical sense: “Life is beautiful and it is important to remember it regardless of what we are going through. We are so lucky to be there. You can always find positive points, even if you feel in the shadows at a given moment in your life.“Thus, Iris Mittenaere tries to find beautiful in what surrounds her: her friends, his family …”There are so many pretty things around us, life is beautiful“, She repeats.
