These days, Serene Russell, The Bachelor in Paradise star, has much more on her mind than just love. Lately, Serene has been heating up the runway during Miami Swim Week, debuting her summer-ready swimsuit collaboration with White Rose Swim, and reminding her social media followers of her inner and outer beauty.
Serene’s charming personality made it easy to captivate audiences on season 8 of the hit reality TV show. But it was her fresh-faced, bronzed glow, and soft curls that drew us in week after week.
We chatted with the 29-year-old bombshell about her carefully curated beauty routine. She shared her favorite summer beauty products, go-to medspa treatments, and the one thing she’s looking forward to in the next few years. Here’s what she had to say…
3H: Summer is officially here, walk us through your skincare routine…
SR: I’m using lots of Typology—all of their products are based on what I need at the time. I love their Periodic Serums for different parts of my (menstrual) cycle because that’s what affects my skin the most. At night I use tretinoin and Typology 9-ingredient moisturizer, during the day vitamin C and sunscreen are my base. I try to go for simple and clean but effective.
3H: What’s one universal beauty tip you live by?
SR: Skincare and hydration is the best foundation.
3H: How do you maintain your curls during the summer?
SR: I love the Color Wow curl line for definition and Pureology Hydrate to add back moisture from the sun and pool. I go for products that have UV protection in them as well because my hair is lightened.
3H: You’re at a Medspa, which treatments are you getting for flawless skin?
SR: I love a DiamondGlow facial and I just tried the Moxi laser. It resurfaces the skin, removes sun damage, and leaves my skin insanely glowy by day seven. I also got my first Dermaplaning treatment a few weeks ago and it made all my skincare products absorb and penetrate so much better. It helps a lot with texture too. I also do preventative botox 2-3 times a year. I prefer Dysport or Daxxify because they last longer and take fewer units for me.
3H: You have 10 minutes to get ready, which makeup products are you using?
SR: This is actually my normal routine if I’m doing makeup and takes 5-10 minutes…
- Kosas Dreambeam in Sunlit SPF40
- Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush in Persimmon
- Merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer in Siene
- YSL Touche Éclat in Radiant Touch (Shade 4)
- Merit Dayglow Highlighter in Cava
- L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black
- PCA Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster
- Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$y heat
- One Size Setting Spray
3H: Let’s talk perfumes, which scents are you loving right now?
SR: My absolute favorite is Lovely Sweet Dreams by Dime—it’s more of a sweet, deep, nighttime scent. For the daytime, I like 7 Summers, but if I want something less sweet I go with You by Glossier.
3H: How does your love life influence your beauty routine?
SR: I think generally I’m really into self-care, I don’t want my love life to change the things I do for myself. But when I’m being appreciated and loved well, I notice that I tend to give myself more love. Not necessarily in terms of makeup but more so self-care.
3H: It’s 2030, what does Serene’s life look like?
SR: In 2030 I hope I’m married to my soulmate with a family of my own. I want to be settled down by then.
It’s safe to say that while Serene is prioritizing love for the future, the love she’s showing herself is coming in the form of beauty. From go-to facials to favorite fragrances, it’s clear that this rising star takes her summer beauty routine just as seriously as her love life.
