4. Short Hair
“I cut my hair short and it basically changed everything overnight. I was about 18 when I cut my hair off – the little pixie haircut. Nobody had short hair at the time. Literally overnight everything changed. I worked with Steven Meisel within a month and a half and I booked every show. Then I got a Vogue cover – my first Vogue – and that came out a few months later.”
5. Skin Care Routine
Amber Valletta has a combined skin type, so she cleans it regularly with soap with a tea extract. Her secret is to adapt her skincare routine according to her skin type.

The supermodel applies a face and eye mask every day in the morning. Her favourite face mask is called “TRI-BIOBOTANICAL REVIVAL MASQUE” by Environ. She puts both masks on for 20min.
7. Sunscreen
Amber lives in LA and her skin is exposed to the sun everyday that’s why she uses sunscreen everyday, even if it’s cloudy outside.
8.Eyebrows
“I think eyebrows are the symmetry of the face. If they’re not balanced and brushed up in the right way, your face looks kind of messy.”
9. The Perfect Eyelash
Amber saw several makeup artists take off some mascara from the brush to apply it later to not have clumpy eyelashes, that’s why she adoped this strategy. She curls her eyelashes before applying mascara.
Recap
Amber Valletta is down to earth model and actress. She appreciates nature and is focused on protecting the environment and the community that is surrounding her. According to Amber “Women can be strong, be smart, be sexy, be mothers, be wives, and be powerful. We don’t need to compromise,” and she herself lives after this quote.

5 Tips To Become Amber Right Away
Find Your Connection With Nature
“My family lived in Tulsa – still does – and my grandparents had a farm 15 minutes from town, 40 acres of land dotted with old boxcars and wooden barns that dated back to at least the ’20s. My cousins and I would run wild there every weekend, riding horses underneath the willow oak trees and swimming in a natural creek so clear it must have been spring-fed. Even now, when I need a moment of peace, I picture Oklahoma.” To Amber connecting and protecting nature is an act of self-care: “Protecting The Environment Is An Act Of Self-Care”.
Stop Fast Fashion
“Social media “outfit of the day” culture, online shopping and fast fashion, especially, had exploded. People didn’t seem to understand that clothes weren’t disposable; more than 90 million tonnes of garments are being thrown away each year, around 60 per cent of which comprise of plastics. No matter what I or anyone in my orbit personally did, things weren’t slowing down at an acceptable rate.”
Appreciate What You Have
“Sometimes it feels like it hurts when you make a big purchase, so I really believe that the more expensive things should be gems that you keep in your closet, not trends.” Amber stated in an Interview with Vogue the following: “I kinda learned from early on that you take care of what you have and that’s true for everything, for your health, for your beauty, for your home, your environment and community. That’s kind of the basis of my value system.”
Mindset
“If I could give my younger self some advice at that time, I’d tell her to enjoy the ride and don’t be afraid to ask questions. I was quite responsible, uptight, and worried – I’d tell myself to chill out.”
Eating Clean
“I eat really clean and really simple: brown rice, a quinoa bowl, grilled fish, veggies, a big salad.”
