‘I WANT TO NORMALISE EVERY TYPE OF BODY'

SUPERMODEL AND MUM-OF-ONE ASHLEY GRAHAM TALKS BODY CONFIDENCE TIME-SAVING BEAUTY REGIMES AND HOW SHE’S FOLLOWING IN KATE MOSS’S FOOTSTEPS

- ZOE CRIPPS

If you believe there’s truth to the stereotype that models rarely have much to say in real life, you’d only need around 20 seconds with Ashley Graham before you changed your mind.

The American beauty is witty, warm and incredibly humble – a real feat considering she’s paved the way for plus-size women in the fashion and beauty industry.

She’s also outrageously beautiful, something we note instantly despite the dodgy Zoom connection. And Ashley, 33, isn’t afraid to talk about her beauty hang-ups either, revealing that motherhood unexpectedly brought on a bout of rosacea, and that skin texture is a real concern.

The model, and new St Tropez ambassador, does however have some time-saving beauty tricks up her sleeve, and she’s also keen to let us all in on the secrets behind her body confidence. Ready to take note? Then read on…

Ashley, you know a thing or two about confidence. How can we all feel great after a tough year?

Confidence is really about your own self-journey and everybody is so different. Don’t put expectations on yourself or say you have to do things in order to feel good. I also think if you make rituals for yourself, like meditation, it’ll help you escape the trapped feeling we’ve all been experiencing.
