Supermodel, ex-Victoria’s Secret angel and actress Laetitia Casta turns 43 years old. What beauty rituals and practices the most sensual Frenchwoman cannot do without?

In mid-March this year, Laetitia Casta became a mother for the fourth time. “I eat what I want, give birth to children – everything is like a most ordinary woman,” she says in her interviews. Laetitia has achieved tremendous success in the modeling business: she appeared on the covers of Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Elle, Glamor and other publications. Casta always stands for naturalness and insists that a woman should not worry about whether her styling or makeup is perfect. But at the same time, she is very consistent in everything that concerns health and self-care.

Laetitia Casta is a fashion model and actress. She was born on May 11, 1978 in the city of Pont-Audem, in the French Upper Normandy. The girl spent her childhood there. In addition to Laetitia, the family of the Corsican Dominique Casta and the Norman Line Blin had two more children – the elder brother Jean-Baptiste and the younger sister Marie-Ange.

Laetitia Casta about Aromatherapy

Every day, Casta finds at least a little time for himself. The aromas of essential oils help her to restore emotional balance. Her favorites include scented candles and aromatic bath oils. Given that Letizia is raising four children, she sometimes practices mini aromatherapy rituals. For example, he applies Compagnie de Provence almond-scented body milk to the skin. And this technique really works: it has long been proven that gourmet scents help us avoid stress and create a sense of comfort.

Favorite beauty rituals

All the set and lenses of photographers Laetitia Casta rarely does makeup. She calls her makeup costs “surprisingly low.” But she still cannot do without a couple of beauty favorites. The first is red lipstick, with which you can create a bright make-up in a couple of seconds, if such a desire arises. The second is the favorite scent of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme. This is yet another version of aromatherapy that Letizia is faithful to – and again with gourmand notes! This time – marshmallows, vanilla and raspberries.

Beauty is a feeling of comfort

“And it has nothing to do with physical attractiveness. A handsome man demonstrates self-confidence, he is attractive with his personality, character and sense of humor. ” And one of the ways to increase self-confidence, Letizia considers regular grooming. She cannot deny herself the pleasure of buying a new face cream or hair serum.

No – diets, yes – homemade food

Laetitia jokes: “Sometimes I fall asleep with cookbooks in my arms.” Caste often experiments with homemade dishes and does not follow diets at all. She tried dieting when she was 12 years old, but could not stand it for three days. Since then, she has considered dietary restrictions useless. But she makes sure to eat healthy food: she prepares vegetable dishes, loves Japanese cuisine and sushi.

The modeling business is associated with emancipation rather than modesty. But Laetitia Casta admits: she went to act in order to become less shy. And then she liked it! Now she is concentrating on caring for her son Azel, but is already thinking about returning to the cinema. Letizia prepares for new roles in an original way: she watches at least one film every evening. Considering that Letizia loves to realize her talents in different spheres (she tried her hand at directing and writing scripts), perhaps one day she will want to become a film critic. We are sure that in this, too, she could reach heights!

short biography

Little Laetitia was a shy and shy child. Plus to everything – the teachers constantly cited brother Jean-Baptiste as an example of a successful student, which only created unnecessary complexes for the girl. The situation changed by the age of sixteen. The girl blossomed and turned into a perfect beauty.

The first moments of recognition appeared during a trip to his father’s homeland. On the Corsican beach, two representatives of a modeling agency approached Leticia. They asked permission to take some photographs and offered to come to the shooting. So the girl turned out to be one of the leading models in the famous Parisian agency Madison Models. Already at the very beginning of her career, Letizia got on the cover of the glossy magazine Glamor. And this was only the first step to the top. Soon Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue and other fashion magazines noticed the potential of the aspiring model. Laetitia became a model in 1998.

Having conquered gloss, Casta began to conquer world brands. In 1999, GUESS invited her to advertise their products. In the same year, the tire manufacturers Pirelli selected the girl for the next edition of their legendary calendar. Inspired by the beauty of Laetitia, the famous French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent created a magnificent wedding dress. In the future, he more than once created toilets for the girl’s public outings. Instead, Letizia became the face of a new fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent – Baby Doll. She also participated in advertising campaigns for Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Givenchy.
