Denise Ohnona, 46, who gained recognition as a Kate Moss lookalike, has detailed her approach to maintaining her appearance, including her fitness routines, skincare practices, and lifestyle adjustments. Ohnona emphasizes natural methods and a conscious decision to avoid certain cosmetic procedures.
Fitness and Strength Training
Ohnona trains twice a week, focusing on heavy weights, a departure from her previous high-intensity cardio routines like Zumba, which she believes can stress the body. She advocates for strength training for fat burning and longevity, aiming to maintain physical capability into her later years. She also incorporates hanging from a bar in her home daily to decompress her spine.
Skincare and Natural Beauty
Ohnona prefers a natural look, stating that less makeup often results in her being told she resembles Kate Moss more. Her makeup routine includes products like Fenty Beauty Match Stix Contour Skinstick, Makeup By Mario Soft Pop Blush Stick, Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette, and Colorescience Total Lash Mascara. She has previously spent on retinol but found it unsuitable due to flakiness. Instead, she relies on Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50, Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm, and uses a natural oil called Euphoric Rain for nightly face, neck, and chest massages.
Ohnona also practices DIY microneedling using a Dr Pen, acknowledging a week of downtime is needed for skin renewal. She uses Clinisept Skin for antibacterial care post-procedure. She has moved away from harsh physical exfoliants, now using Paula’s Choice Resist Advanced Smoothing Treatment every ten days. For tanning preparation, she uses AmLactin Daily Nourish Lotion and Clarins Express Self-Tanning Fresh Gel.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Ohnona has quit alcohol, noting a significant improvement in her sleep. She now drinks non-alcoholic aperitifs, such as Mother Root. She has also changed her eating habits, moving away from intermittent fasting that involved unhealthy snacks. She now eats when hungry, focuses on protein, and has given up fast food like McDonald's, though she still eats steak and other protein-rich foods like boiled eggs. She occasionally enjoys a Hu Chocolate Bar as a treat.
Cosmetic Procedures
While frequently offered plastic surgery, Ohnona avoids it due to perceived risks and does not use fillers. She used a bit of Botox but is reducing its use. She expressed that the desire for procedures like those that create a particular lookalikes is not something she pursues, stating, "The less I do to my face the more I’m told I look like Kate Moss."
Hair Care
Ohnona's natural hair color is ash blonde. She avoids heat styling, using heatless curlers for waves and sleeping on her hair after washing. She uses an Advanced LED Hair Growth Cap With Red Light Therapy due to past hair thinning, which she attributes to diet or hormones. The treatment has reportedly helped her hair regrow.
Body Image
Regarding her physique, Ohnona mentioned that her trainer's focus on deadlifts led to a significant increase in her glute size, which she initially felt was contrary to the look she was aiming for. However, she now states, "I don’t care!" indicating a shift in her priorities regarding body shape.
