Denise Ohnona, a 46-year-old model who gained recognition for her striking resemblance to supermodel Kate Moss, has opened up about the pressures of her career and her personal routines.
Ohnona shared that she maintains her physique through strength training, attending the gym twice a week and utilizing heavy weights. She also practices spinal decompression daily by hanging from a bar while her kettle boils. "Strength training really burns the fat," she stated.
Regarding her appearance, Ohnona noted that the less she does to her face, the more people comment on her resemblance to Kate Moss. She prefers a natural look, utilizing 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.
In terms of diet, Ohnona has shifted from intermittent fasting, which involved consuming snacks like crisps and biscuits within a six-hour window, to eating when she feels hungry and prioritizing better food choices. She no longer eats fast food from McDonald's, opting for steak and boiled eggs for breakfast. She also enjoys a Hu Chocolate Bar as a treat and does not count calories but focuses on increasing protein intake.
Quitting alcohol has been a significant change for Ohnona, leading to improved sleep. She now drinks Mother Root Non-Alcoholic Aperitif, a beverage made from cider vinegar, ginger, chilli, and honey.
Ohnona, whose natural hair color is ash blonde, avoids heat styling and uses heatless curlers for waves. She also uses an Advanced LED Hair Growth Cap With Red Light Therapy, as she experienced hair loss previously and was concerned about the cause, potentially related to diet or hormones. "It’s really growing now," she reported.
While she has been offered free plastic surgery, Ohnona expresses reservations due to the perceived risks and has decided against fillers. Although she experienced being carded at bars at age 40, by 42 she began to notice jowls and had some Botox, though she is now reducing its use.
For skincare, Ohnona prefers a simple approach, applying Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 daily. She uses Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm as a chemical-free cleanser and incorporates a nightly face, neck, and chest massage using Euphoric Rain, a natural oil. She previously experimented with retinol but found the flaky-skin stage unmanageable.
Physical exfoliants are no longer part of her routine after a past incident involving scrubbing her neck with a dish scrub and bicarb. Currently, she uses 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.
Ohnona also performs DIY microneedling, acknowledging the need for a week of downtime afterward as her skin goes through a renewal process. She uses a Dr Pen followed by Clinisept Skin for antibacterial purposes.
Regarding her physique, Ohnona stated she no longer aims for a "supermodel-style pancake bum," as her trainer's deadlift regimen resulted in a larger gluteal size, which she no longer feels the need to alter.
