And where self-care products are concerned, the Pour Moi ambassador can’t get enough of Space Masks, which relieve tiredness and eyestrain, and are £16.50 from Feel Unique.

If you’re wondering how India’s skin looks so fabulous, she admitted: “I used to be the worst person for skincare. I used to use face wipes, whack on a bit of Nivea and be good to go.

“My skin, I don't know how, was always absolutely fine. Then one day, it was like, 'Na babe, we're not having it anymore!' and I was getting breakouts. I've recently started a proper skincare routine and it's really working."

Now, India swears by Obagi, AKA the medical skincare brand loved by the whole of Celebsville.

She beamed: "I love their exfoliating cleanser and moisturiser. I also love the Dermologica Pre Cleanse, which I use before the Obagi cleanser.”

But the star then revealed the £12 buy she couldn’t be without, as she shared: “I also love Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid Exfoliant, it's such a game-changer!"

One shopper said: “I can’t rave about this product enough. It has transformed my dull complexion and has improved the overall texture of my skin.”

Another added: “I have tried a few chemical exfoliants but nothing comes close to this. I feel it’s suitable for all skin types. I wake up in the morning and my skin is glowing.”

Top beauty trends for 2025

Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.

Haircare

Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. 

Hair glosses are multifunctional as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025’s core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 

2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. 

Skincare

Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to a achieve flawless, youthful complexion. 

Skincare routines will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. 

Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving makeup and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. 

Makeup 

Makeup trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. 

Makeup looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. 

Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. 

Nails

2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.

Whilst a third commented: “Bought the smaller size to try out and it did not disappoint! Removes any bumps on skin and makes my makeup look so smooth I already bought the bigger size.”

Not only does India love the Paula’s Choice Liquid Exfoliant, but if you’re wondering what’s in her make-up bag, look no further.

Inside you’ll find the Heliocare 360 Colour Gel Oil-Free SPF and the Chanel Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, which she uses for a super “glowy” look.

Not only this, but she also uses the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint Blush Sticks, and thinks they are “absolutely amazing”.

For brushed up brows, India recommends the Benefit brow gel, but if you’re after a budget beauty buy, India couldn’t recommend the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara enough.

Raving about the £11.99 mascara, which promises intense, elongated lashes, India shared: “I've used it for absolutely years. I love it and it's so cheap.”
