Rianne ten Haken, Dutch Model and Yoga Instructor, Gets Her Beauty Tips from Pat McGrath
From tea tree oil toothpicks to her favorite tip from Pat McGrath, the model-turned-yoga instructor shares her wellness and beauty secrets.
The Dutch model Rianne ten Haken may not have known who Marc Jacobs was when, fresh from “middle of nowhere” Holland, she made her debut opening his show at just 16, but her career has scarcely faltered in the decade-plus since—indeed, she’s gone on to become buddies with not just Jacobs, but Donatella Versace and Jean-Paul Gaultier. All that means she’s picked up some beauty tips along the way from pros like Pat McGrath, which have lately melded with her own down-to-earth version of wellness as she’s fully embraced her side hustle of being a yoga instructor. She shares her tips, from two-hour facials to brow pencils to fresh squeezed orange juice, here.

I love Carol at Ling Spa—she gives the best facials. They last two hours and you feel like you’re 14 again when you walk out!

Ion in Iceland is on top of my list at the moment. I love the idea of sitting in a geothermal pool and watch the Northern Lights.
In-tub must-read:
Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan. The French and their complicated love affairs… it just never gets boring.

Don’t try to brush out teased hair—just put lots of conditioner in and eventually it will be back to normal.

You mean my twin sister Sara Sampaio?
