Erin Holland reveals her favourite skincare and beauty product
Erin Holland gives off that sort of effortlessly cool energy that makes you want to both be her best friend but also study her daily routine in hopes that you’ll pick up on the specific ‘it’ factor that makes her so magnetic.
Crowned Miss World Australia in 2013, Erin is now known as a TV host (Indian Premier League), actor (The Secret Daughter), reality star (SAS Australia), brand ambassador (Mx Skincare), model and social media star (670k+ followers on Instagram alone).
With all this screen time in mind, it’s fair to say Erin knows a thing or two about skincare and long-wear make-up. Plus she splits her time between Sydney and Brisbane (where her husband, Aussie cricketer Ben Cutting lives) so she certainly knows her way around travel essentials.
Rocking up to this interview, Erin had her huge blue beauty bag in tow – ready to divulge her beauty must-haves and ‘gross’ products she swears by.
WHAT’S IN ERIN HOLLAND’S BEAUTY BAG?
“When you travel all the time, you kind of need to make sure that you’ve got compact things,” Erin tells news.com.au checkout.
THE BEAUTY ESSENTIALS ERIN HOLLAND TRAVELS WITH
“I pretty much live on an aeroplane and whether I’m going overseas or just going to Brisbane to see the husband every weekend or domestically for work, I make sure that this never gets unpacked, so I never lose anything or go without,” Erin says.
“I think we should start with skincare, right? Because skincare is everything. If the skin isn’t good, the makeup is never going to look as good on top. So I’ve absolutely fallen in love with an Australian skincare brand called MX Skincare, and it’s all natural, no parabens, no palm oils, no SLS, nothing nasty, which we love, but it’s still cosmeceuticals, so it still really works. And considering I’m 35 these days, and I spend my life on camera, it’s really incredibly important to have stuff that works.”
“I never go anywhere without my hydration mask, because I fly so much this is clear. So you can literally put it on your face on an aeroplane no one knows, because it’s clear. So you can mask for hours, and you can actually reapply as you go as well. So you can keep yourself really nice and hydrated, and your skin will thank you for it the second that you get off that aeroplane, that this is an absolute Godsend, so that at least once a week, or at least once every long haul flight.”
“This serum is probably a hero of the entire MX range. This is their cosmeceutical facial oil, plus now I use this with my makeup skincare prep. This is literally like the ultimate glow in a tiny little bottle. It’s got rose extracts, it smells absolutely amazing, but the way it emulsifies into your skin is literally next level. So I put this on my face. I literally glaze doughnut myself before I go to sleep.”
“Then I have my vitamin A. Everyone needs a vitamin A. It’s so active. It’s so good for resurfacing the skin. Is so good for just giving you that beautiful evenness, maybe getting rid of any little blemishes that you may have. This one is amazing, but super gentle, so you don’t even have to work up to using it. You can literally bang it on your face once a day. I use it pretty much seven days a week, it’s that gentle.”
