Leah Kateb from Love Island and I Have the Same Beauty Routine—11 Products We Continuously Purchase.

      If you find yourself eagerly watching the Love Island marathon each summer, as I do, you’ll understand why I felt compelled to write this piece. Each episode delivers a rush of excitement, and the frequency with which they air makes you feel as though you personally know every contestant. Once they leave the villa, I eagerly await their expert beauty tips. One participant notable for her outstanding beauty sense is Leah Kateb from Love Island USA season six. I follow Kateb’s TikTok closely because she consistently shares great recommendations in skincare, haircare, makeup, and fragrance. I’ve also realized that our beauty routines are strikingly similar; we have nearly identical skin journeys and share many favorite products. Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss some of the items she’s currently obsessed with. If you adore Kateb and her picks as much as I do, keep reading. I'm revealing all the beauty products we both repeatedly purchase.

      Recently, there’s been a lot of buzz about Kateb's shower routine. It was here that I discovered our shared affection for this gourmand-scented body wash from Lush. It features date syrup and sandalwood oil, providing a deliciously sweet experience in the shower. I love using it alongside the brand's Sticky Dates Body Lotion.

      **L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil:** After using the Lush body wash, Kateb mentioned that she loves using L'Occitane’s Almond Shower Oil to moisturize her skin. We also exchanged thoughts on enjoying a good bath, and she shared an excellent tip: this shower oil can double as a bath oil, leaving your skin incredibly soft afterward.

      **Kiehl's Since 1851 Creme De Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter:** Kateb expressed her fondness for this intensely hydrating body butter from Kiehl's, noting that it's rich and provides long-lasting moisture with ingredients like squalane, jojoba oil, soy milk, honey, and shea butter.

      **Eos Shea Better 24HR Moisture Body Lotion Vanilla Cashmere:** Naturally, since Kateb loves sweeter fragrances, she also enjoys EOS’s Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, just like I do. She told me, "I love anything vanilla." This lotion is one of the most lightweight yet hydrating I’ve tried, packed with hydration without feeling sticky and absorbing seamlessly.

      **Eos Shea Better Body Lotion Strawberry Dream:** While Kateb enjoys the popular Cashmere Vanilla scent, she revealed that Strawberry Dream is actually her top pick (and the most underrated) among the lotions.

      **SKYLAR Nude Skin Eau De Parfum:** Kateb has taken on the role of chief creative officer for clean fragrance brand Skylar, and during an event celebrating her position, she mentioned that this scent is one of her favorites. Additionally, she loves Boardwalk Delight, stating, "I love, love, love our scent club scents [too]. Banana Candy is *chef's kiss.* I'm a major gourmand girlie."

      **Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream:** In one of Kateb’s early TikToks following her departure from the villa, she discussed her experience on Accutane and how this cream helped her skin during that time. Like Kateb, I was also on Accutane for a period and wish I had this rich moisturizer then. It helps heal the skin barrier and retains moisture through postbiotics, copper, and Avène's soothing thermal spring water.

      Kateb refers to this as her "fancy hypochlorous acid spray." It’s a luxurious version of a popular aesthetician favorite that balances the skin’s pH and offers strong anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits, calming the skin while promoting healing and addressing active blemishes.

      **hydrinity Restorative HA Serum:** This hyaluronic acid serum from the same brand is another favorite of Kateb’s right now. It includes peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to encourage the skin’s natural healing process and significantly enhance hydration levels.

      **ALASTIN Skincare Gentle Cleanser:** In another TikTok where Kateb shared insights about her acne journey, she mentioned this gentle cleanser from Alastin, which also happens to be one of my favorites. It’s very hydrating, doesn’t strip the skin, yet thoroughly cleanses, leaving your skin feeling fresh.

      **Revision Skincare Intellishade Truphysical:** Kateb favors a good mineral sunscreen, and this formula from Revision is her go-to. It features vitamin C for sun protection while offering a daily glow.
