‘Love Island’ Star Leah Kateb’s Affordable Skincare Routine

Love Island USA’s latest season was not without drama, but one thing remains clear: Leah Kateb’s skin. 

Leah Kateb has gone to TikTok and posted a video of her routine in which she talks about having acne prone skin. Despite the Fiji heat (where the latest season was filmed), Leah Kateb had glass skin throughout the show. She maintains her skin smooth and clear with a low-maintenance routine that she says lets “your skin breathe.”

However, it is important to tailor one’s skin products to their skin type and have a consistent routine. 

Below are the products that Leah Kateb swears by. 

Alastin Gentle Cleanser ($53 on Amazon): the first step in Leah Kateb’s routine, this product is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. 

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion: The second step in her routine. Leah Kateb had brought three bottles of this kind of lotion to the villa. She uses it on her face and body and added that her best friend on the show, Serena Page, also used it.  

Avene Cicalfate + Restorative Protective Cream:  Leah Kateb said of the moisturizer, “I just feel like it makes my skin so like plump.”

Weleda Skin Food: “A little goes a long way,” Leah Kateb said of Weleda Skin Food. “It gives [skin] such a nice glassy glow.” She pats it on her skin over her Avene cream during the day before applying SPF. At night, she puts on a thicker coat.  

Revision Skincare Intellishade Clear Moisturizer with SPF 50: According to the website, this SPF corrects, protects, brightens, and hydrates the skin. It features three peptides and antioxidants, such as THD ascorbate (vitamin C), EGCG from green tea, hyaluronic acid, and boron nitride, to help achieve healthy skin. 

Coola SPF 50 Face Mist: This SPF is a light mist that is easy to apply and reapply. It is full of antioxidant-rich, 70%+ certified organic ingredients. 

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm: An Allure 2023 Best of Beauty Award Winner, this silky vegan balm hydrates and soothes dry lips in seconds and boosts shine all day with a smooth, never-greasy texture. 

Revision Skincare D.E.J Eye Cream: This cream targets the eye area and is full of antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to help achieve a youthful appearance. 

Moreover, different skin types require certain beauty products, so it can be a challenge to find one that fits one’s lifestyle and up to date with trends, but it also important to take of one mental health as well. Likewise, Leah Kateb is ready for Love Island USA era to be over. 

During the Season 6 reunion in New York City, which aired on Monday, tension amongst the cast began to swirl following the taping, prompting Leah Kateb to lay the rumors to rest. Following a content creator who mentioned the drama, Leah Kateb took to TikTok to shut down the rumors saying that “no ‘blow up’ happened” and that “y’all make any n everything up.”

Leah Kateb continued the post, “I’m exhausted mentally physically and spiritually from this entire experience. I’m tired. I told them I am DONE after reunion.”

Love Island USA season six was a success for Peacock, with viewership doubling on the streaming service. This launched the stars to fame and has also raised questions about the aftercare that reality TV personalities receive after a show ends.
