This season of Dancing with the Stars is in full swing, and it's no secret that Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough are a judge and fan favorite couple. Joanna is also a gorgeous model and actress, and in this exclusive interview, spills her beauty and fitness secrets and send a message to fans to vote, vote, vote!
What is your daily beauty regimen?
Joanna: I have been pretty lucky with my skin so it’s not too demanding to take care off. I cleanse morning and night with Cetaphil. Since I have dry skin, I put on tons of moisturizer. The one I found years ago that I love is Kiehls pathenol protein moisturizing face cream. I never tan my face so my fiancé calls me Casper since I am really white, but I’d rather be white than have wrinkles. I also put vaseline under my eyes over the moisturizer to protect from creasing and getting wrinkles while I sleep. I sometimes use a self-tanner for my face to help me look a little less like Casper the ghost. I wasn’t born with great eyelashes so I use Latisse every evening and my lashes have never looked better and longer! I also love Palmer’s cocoa butter lotion for the body.
Does it differ when performing on the Dancing with the Stars?
Joanna: It probably should differ a little since the makeup is much heavier and easier to breakout, but I’m so exhausted when I come home. I just use Cetaphil, Oil of Olay makeup wipes and pile on the moisturizer and vaseline under the eyes. I am long due a microdermabrasion treatment.
What are some of your favorite beauty brands?
Joanna: Kiehls for face cream, Palmers cocoa butter for body, Chanel and Laura Mercier for makeup
What is your fitness regimen like?
Joanna: The last 10 weeks it has been dancing, since I have been doing that nonstop everyday for hours at a time.... before the show I ran half a mile couple times a week and also the Powerplate 30 minute sessions.
In your opinion, what makes someone beautiful?
Joanna: A person that has substance, and treats people and animals with respect and care. A person that is not selfish and giving.
Do you ever have mornings when you wake up and just don't feel beautiful? If so, what do you do to make yourself feel better?
Joanna: Of course I do! Sometimes I wake up with bad allergies and have puffy eyes or feel bloated...to make myself better I put more makeup on than usual and that doesn’t even help. hahahaha.
I imagine doing some of the tricks you do, you have to really trust your dance partner. Has being on the show made you realize your capabilities?
Joanna: My partner hasn’t pushed me yet to do anything out of the ordinary, or where it can cause an injury. In the last 10 weeks that we’ve worked together, he learned my strengths and weaknesses, so we try to go on that and make the best of it with what I can do.
How has the experience of dancing with Derek been? He looks like an amazing partner!
Joanna: It’s been a wonderful experience. He is so goofy and funny that I don’t think I have ever laughed as much in my life as I laugh in our rehearsals. I always look forward to rehearsals with him cause he makes them so enjoyable event though we work very hard.
Who have you become closest with from the show?
Joanna: Since we are so busy with rehearsals we don’t have much time to bond with the other celebs or dancers, but when we do see each other everyone seems to get along without a problem. I have definitely become the closest with Derek since I spend the most time with him.
What has been your favorite memory from the show so far?
Joanna: The first week when I had no idea what to expect from our salsa and we got amazing comments from the judges and scores..it was an awesome feeling the first week being the top scoring couple.
Message to readers:
Joanna: It is so important for viewers to vote because even if the judges give high scores, don't think your favorite couple is safe because of that...every vote counts!
Be sure to watch Dancing with the Stars tonight at 8PM on ABC! (and lets cross our fingers for Joanna and Derek!)
