On TZR’s Face Time, stars and decision-makers share the minutiae of their beauty and beauty routines – from Holy Grail products to non-negotiable treatments.
When Antonia Gentry isn’t filming the hit Netflix series Ginny and Georgia, you’ll find her attending fashion weeks around the world, sitting front row at major shows like Dior and Givechy. So when the actress has free time, she understandably likes to exercise restraint when it comes to taking care of her beauty, including taking care of her curls. Gentry says she finally mastered the easy-wash routine after working with Aveda to launch their Advanced Curl line. The product collection is intended for the care and styling of waves, curls and curls.
Hair aside, Gentry’s off-duty approach to skincare and makeup is also refreshingly relatable. She likes to focus on using formulas that are gentle but effective – Caudalie and La Roche-Posay are her favorites – for performance and skin products for a natural finish (she likes Armani and Dior concealers because they make her freckles show through).
Then the actress describes in detail her care method to TZR, including the necessary cosmetics that she keeps in the medicine cabinet.
About her morning skincare routine
“I usually wake up with remnants of makeup on my face. In fact, I really hate taking off my makeup completely in the evening. I usually just employ it Neutrogena wipe and hope for the best. So I’ll employ it in the morning Clinique eye make-up remover if there are any mascara residues left [on my lashes] what is usually there. Then I go in with Caudalie cleaner as it is quite gentle and helps remove the rest of the makeup. If I have a breakout, I will employ a facial cleanser La Roche-Posay as it helps heal any acne spots and the like. I really love it Westman Atelier skin activating serum, so I’ll put this on next. I then employ Caudalie moisturizer and finish with sunscreen. Or I employ it Shiseido Crystal clear Sunscreen Stickor in summer if I am going to be outside in the sun I will employ La Roche-Posay SPF 100which works great.”
About her evening skin care routine
“If I actually do a real routine, I wash my face thoroughly. But I don’t often wear makeup during the day. When I’m not working, I try not to put too much on my skin. After washing my face, I employ a serum with retinol. I have three different ones in my cupboard now, so I’ll employ one of them. Then I have an LED mask with a red lightweight Therabody which I employ for a few minutes. Then I apply a moisturizer. I like the one next to it Sea because it’s nice and broad, so it’s great for the night.”
About her makeup essentials
“If I do wear makeup, I usually apply concealer unless it’s nighttime and I’m getting ready to go out. Or I’ll employ it Armani Or Dior. I apply it where I need it, usually on my chin – as I will have any marks or discoloration – and under my eyes. But I don’t employ it much because I have freckles and I like them noticeable. Other main products include Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow gel and I employ it Benefit Cosmetics eyebrow pencil to fill in any gaps in my eyebrows. I’ll employ whatever mascara I have lying around in my bathroom. I don’t have a favorite, I just choose the one that’s closest to me. When it comes to lips, I like browns and warmer shades. If I feel like it, I’ll go in with Chanel lipstick it moisturizes. I have an obsession Dior sparkle if I want shine. It’s all really effortless to maintain.”
About her hair routine
“On laundry day, I go first with Aveda Be Curly Advanced Shampoo. I absolutely love it Be Curly Advanced Intensive curl perfecting mask from the collection – it is very nourishing and makes my hair feel like butter. So I employ this next and leave it in my hair while I shower. After about three minutes, I comb it through the ends, comb my hair and rinse. Then my hair is ready for styling, which is now also very uncomplicated. I could never say this before because I tried several different products at once. Then I spray Be Curly Advanced Curl Perfecting foundation and run it through my hair. Then my hair is ready to accept my favorite product from this line, i.e Be Curly Advanced curl enhancing cream. I only need a little bit as my hair is very skinny and since it’s lightweight it’s good for me. I run it through my hair, combing and curling the curls with my fingers. The last step is to comb my hair, which I really hate because it takes 20 to 30 minutes. Thanks to this treatment, I can have shiny, bouncy curls that are not too crunchy and weighed down. My hair lasts a few days and then I have to reset it, which I’m very cheerful about.”
About her wellness routine
“When I’m stressed, especially at night when I’m resting, I like to drink lavender chamomile tea. I’ve gotten into the habit of doing little things that make me feel better, like taking a bath or lighting a candle. Apart from that, I like to sit with my cat, drink tea or wine and watch a movie.
