Inside the skincare routines of two Victoria's Secret runway icons and the advanced beauty technology they use beyond the spotlight.
The wings. The runway. The world's most recognisable faces. With the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returning on October 18, all eyes are turning to the runway. But beyond the elaborate looks and iconic catwalk moments, there's another element that deserves attention: the skin.
For models like Shanina Shaik and Sarah Stephens, whose careers have included appearances on the Victoria's Secret runway, skincare extends well beyond the makeup chair. And while a flawless runway look might last just one evening, maintaining healthy-looking skin is an ongoing commitment. Both models have incorporated advanced skincare technology from The Skincare Tools into their routines, taking two different approaches to skin preparation and maintenance. From concentrated laser light therapy to targeted facial sculpting, we're taking a closer look at the tools they use.
Shanina Shaik:
The Laser Glow
The 4D Pro Laser Light Therapy Face Mask
When it comes to maintaining radiant, healthy-looking skin, consistency matters just as much as the technologies you choose. Used by Australian supermodel Shanina Shaik, the 4D Pro Laser Light Therapy Face Mask brings advanced laser light technology into an accessible at-home skincare routine. Unlike traditional LED light therapy, which emits more dispersed light, laser technology delivers a more concentrated beam of light energy to the skin.
The mask combines three targeted wavelengths, including 660nm Deep Red, 850nm Near-Infrared and 1064nm Long-Wave Near-Infrared, designed to support collagen activity and improve the appearance of skin firmness over time. Delivering 6x more concentrated light energy* than traditional LED masks for deeper, more precise skin penetration, the mask is designed to support skin regeneration and long-term skin performance. With consistent use, it is designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, refine uneven skin texture and support a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion in just ten minutes per treatment.
Sarah Stephens: The Supermodel Sculpt
5-in-1 Face Pilates Wand
While laser light therapy focuses on gradual improvements in the skin's appearance, facial massage offers a different approach to skin preparation. Used by Australian model Sarah Stephens, the 5-in-1 Face Pilates Wand combines multiple technologies in one device to support a more sculpted, refreshed-looking complexion. Designed as a five-minute facial workout, the tool combines rotational massage, thermal therapy and sonic vibration to help reduce the appearance of puffiness, visibly define facial contours and prepare skin for makeup.
The rotating massage heads follow the natural contours of the face, providing targeted stimulation across the jawline, cheeks and neck. Thermal therapy introduces controlled warmth to complement the massage experience, while sonic vibration enhances the overall facial treatment. Together, these technologies support natural fluid movement through gentle massage, helping temporarily reduce the appearance of facial puffiness and create a more defined, refreshed look.
Before the Wings: The Importance of Skin Preparation
Behind every polished runway look is careful preparation, but great-looking skin is rarely the result of a single treatment or last-minute beauty appointment. Maintaining the appearance of healthy, radiant skin requires consistency, with different technologies offering different benefits depending on individual skin concerns. Laser light therapy and facial massage work in distinct ways, making them complementary additions to a considered skincare routine.
Laser light therapy is designed to support gradual improvements in the appearance of firmness, fine lines and uneven texture through consistent treatments. Facial massage, on the other hand, can provide more immediate cosmetic benefits by helping temporarily reduce the appearance of puffiness and enhance facial definition. Together, these technologies demonstrate how advanced skincare tools can support different stages of a routine, from ongoing skin maintenance to targeted preparation.
The Secret Is in the Tools
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show may be one of fashion's most recognisable events, but advanced skincare technology doesn't need to be reserved for the runway. As technologies once associated with professional treatments become increasingly accessible for at-home use, skincare is evolving beyond traditional topical products and lengthy routines. For Shanina Shaik and Sarah Stephens, The Skincare Tools are part of their approach to skin maintenance, offering targeted technologies that can be incorporated into everyday life.
