A Minute Snapshot into Zendaya’s Skincare Routine
Here at Angele Ammal, we are big on revivals. We understand that every so often, skincare routines need a bit of reflecting and revamping to be relevant and useful. Skincare routines need to change and your skin revived to glow and glisten in the most dreamy way. Nothing stops the passage of time and we have to adapt. We are in full change of season here in Paris, and with the changing winds that Fall brings you need a new Fall skincare routine. So, why not a change in your skincare & beauty routine inspired by the one and only: Zendaya.
Zendaya is known for many things: her amazing acting abilities, impeccable style (orchestrated by the amazing Law Roach), her beauty and for her amazing skin. Why wouldn’t she make the perfect inspiration? If at the root of it all, Girl Bosses, it’s about keeping our skin healthy and strong and this is what our girl prioritizes the most in her routines. This ‘Zendaya Inspired’ skincare routine is composed of Makeup Removers, Toners, Moisturizers, Spf and Lip balms, emphasis in no fuzz and no unnecessary steps.
Her routine is basically a simple straight -forward approach without much experimentation and loyal to the products working for you. Fragrance Free please. And this is why we love it, because if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?
Skin Prep to Maximize Absorption
Even though Zendaya has not mentioned any use of toners in her routine this is a must have product when traveling! Toner’s are good to refresh the skin and with time even out its texture. As part of April Skin’s Skincare Glow Box the essence toner provides a vegan option containing Artemisia, an antioxidant useful against inflammation. So we have to add it to our list and what better option than our glow boss kit which includes three serums, a toner, squalane cream. Shop the Glow Boss Kit here.
This brightening toner with shiny golden sheen has been gaining interest in Cleantok’s skincare routines (an ASMR skincare routine for your auditive delight). As a clean beauty alternative, we recommend a double action toner - the Glory Vitamin C Triple Action Glow Toner. Angele Ammal would be stocking this toner soon so subscribe to pre-save, get premium discounts and and purchase ASAP.

Don’t underestimate the power of the sun!
True to her less is more approach, she raves about prioritizing skin protection and using moisturizers that won’t clog your skin. Even with melanin-rich skin, our skin needs to be protected from the increasingly harmful sun rays and forgoing its use can lead in the long term to oxidative stress, DNA damage, amongst other harmful effects. Dr. Alexis Stephens, a licensed dermatologist delves deeper on the subject on her youtube channel noting that even melanin rich girlies hold only an equivalent of 7 to 10 SPF in their skin, and that cannot be enough!
Suncare for Zendaya is essential. Although she hasn’t mentioned any particular brands, she has stressed the importance of sunscreen in several interviews. For this step we are choosing one of Dr. Stephens recommendations, Summer Fridays Broad Spectrum SPF 50, an affordable, fragrance-free and moisturizing.
Summer Fridays Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Retails for $36
Osea’s ‘Atmosphere Protection Cream’ sunscreen, retails for $54
The Main Event: Moisturize!
To keep your skin plump and hydrated, especially during summer travel and the dryness the winter months usually bring a good moisturizer is a must for your kit. Zendaya swears by Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, a fragrance free, dermatologist tested product promising to boost skin’s moisture and the skin barrier by 17%. We absolutely love gel moisturizers as they just have a different vibe. The application is lightweight and ultra smooth, and they are especially effective for oily skin and for summer, of course, so we just have to approve. For our second alternative, why not try Antipodes Hydrating Day Cream Vanilla Pod, an ultra hydrating cream from the lands of New Zealand packed with a powerful mix of ingredients Rosehip Oil, Manuka Honey and Vinanza Grape, a high quality extract.
Antipodes Vanilla Pod Creme du Jour retails for €40
The right balm to flex those lips
Finally, one of Zendaya’s top beauty products she could not live without (although she hopes she can actually live without them) are lip balms, and she’s been mentioned other times about prioritizing lip health. We all know that in order to use a daily lip balm, we have to love the lip balm, or it’ll collect dust at the bottom of the purse! She prefers the household brand Carmex and their Moisturizing Lip Balm lines which you can find with its classic formula, added SPF or different flavors and fragrances if you prefer a bit of aroma. A tinted alternative we also like and believe any girlie would look great lounging by the pool comes from Osea. Their Hyaluronic Lip Booster is a soft, nourishing balm rich in cherry extract, shea butter and jojoba oil, l nice to look at and even better to wear.
Osea’s Hyaluronic Lip Booster, retails at $28
