Beauty interview with Migna Touré!

Overflowing energy, an unfailing smile, a radiant complexion and a warrior's mentality: no wonder Migna was named the best player in the world of 3x3 basketball! She reveals to us the keys to her 100% Wellness beauty routine!

1/ Hello Migna, can you introduce yourself?

Hello, my name is Mamigan Touré, commonly known as Migna . I am a young woman of 26 years old, a high-level basketball athlete. I currently play in a professional club in Montpellier. I am an international basketball player, member of the French 3x3 team. At the same time I am a PE teacher.  

I like to do a lot of things, I try everything, as soon as an opportunity to discover or train presents itself I seize it. Traveling, sharing, transmitting, I love it . I'm never far from basketball, I eat, I sleep, I live basketball.  

2/ The first thought that comes to your mind when you wake up?

As soon as I get up, I'm happy to have a new day and I say to myself " Make this day count t "!  

3/ Your morning routine?

In the morning, I wake up, drink a large glass of water, stretch, wash, prepare breakfast. I take stock of what I did the day before, I define small daily goals, I listen to motivating podcasts then I end up watching “ The day everything changed ” before going to training.  

4/ Your definition of Beauty?

A person who is confident in herself.  

5/ Beauty icons that inspire you?

One of my closest friends, Clarice , represents for me the beauty that inspires me. She is confident in herself, she loves herself, she is bubbly and magnificent inside and out .  

Ryan Destiny and Aliya Will are beautiful women who also inspire me.  

6/ The best beauty advice you have learned so far?

The best beauty tip I've learned so far is to use specific products dedicated only to the face. Do not use the same products for the body and the face. This goes for everything, even the towel I use to dry my face. Each skin has specific needs!  

7/ The 3 beauty products that never leave you?

I never leave my shea butter, my Cleanactyl facial cleansing gel , my Labello.  

8/ The craziest beauty trend you've tried?

I would have liked to try this crazy trend: eyebrow tinting! But I did not do it. As a high-level athlete I train twice a day so that's at least 2 showers a day. In other words, the dye would not hold....  

9/ The skincare routine that you follow on a daily basis?

Today I follow an adapted skincare regimen , which consists of the combination of a Cleanactyl cleansing gel and Act 5 treatment (two products from Nubiance ). I also combine the application of shea butter during this winter period.  

10/ The best tips for erasing traces of fatigue in express mode?

A quick tip to erase traces of fatigue; a few ice cubes on the face and presto!!!! I would also add an outdoor sports session.  

11/ The golden rules that you follow when it comes to makeup?

Eyebrows before complexion! Create a fresh and uniform complexion, apply the concealer using a previously moistened sponge. Then I apply mascara and of course highlight.  Fresh and natural makeup is always a good option!  

12/ The makeup look that best suits your personality?

The make-up look that best suits my personality is a fresh , natural look with a dark brown matte lipstick. It's all me.  

13/ A favorite hairstyle?
My favorite hairstyles are simple braids or locks. I love locks.  

14/ The keys to taking care of your mental health?

To maintain your mental health, you have to do things that you enjoy, things that make you feel good. Appreciate the positive things that happen to us and/or that we have done.  

15/ The thing that makes you happiest?

What makes me happiest is doing what I love with the people I love (especially my boyfriend).  

16/ A particular diet?

I don't have a special diet. I make sure to eat well, balanced and varied in terms of intake. I indulge myself on the plate, that's my diet! 

17/ A favorite healthy drink?

Lemon juice! 

18/ Are food supplements part of your daily life?

I do not take food supplements. I eat well enough not to take any.  

19/ Your favorite healthy addresses?

My favorite addresses in Bordeaux: the Korean restaurant Bibibap and the restaurant “Les Sauvages”. It’s sooo good !!!!  

20/ The motto that guides you in life?

“ Know your Worth”  

21/ In your opinion, what are the benefits of sport on the skin?

I think that sport allows the skin to “be in shape”. Sweating allows you to evacuate toxins , which is a whole that promotes having beautiful, healthy skin.  

22/ What is your beauty routine before and after training?

In the morning (before training), I rinse my face, then I moisturize my skin with Act5 . After training I clean my face with Cleanactyl soap-free cleansing gel , and I moisturize again. I hydrate my whole body, and I end up using Labello . And There you go !  

23/ Do you think that your diet plays a role in the beauty of your skin?

I am convinced that diet plays a very important role in the beauty of my skin, as does hydration.  

24/ What is the secret to your figure?

I do a lot of sport, I vary my exercises according to my needs and above all I eat according to my energy expenditure. When I have a lot of training: I eat well. When I’m on “truce”, I reduce the quantities of food.  

25/ What does sport bring you?

Sport is my job but also a way to do me good. Sport allows me to let off steam, pass the time and have fun.  

26/ Do you follow a strict diet?

I don't follow a strict diet. I am aware that my activity as a high-level sportswoman implies responsible ethics on a daily basis. This also involves diet. I sometimes eat fast food or other meals, but it's rare. Every meal I treat myself healthily for my body.  

27/ Your guilty pleasure?

My guilty pleasure: cakes, cookies, Pepitos...  

28/ How do you manage stress or the adrenaline rush on big days?

Stress is part of the game, I rely on what I know how to do, on my strengths to manage excess stress and I go there without thinking.  

29/ What is your best sporting memory from this year?

This year is special, we don't have many matches given the health context. I will remember the title that I won with my previous team Braine.  

30/ What are your projects, your sporting prospects?

Currently I am preparing every day with a view to qualifying for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. I am also fully involved with my club, even if the season is special we have high and ambitious goals .  At the same time I am working on a personal, sporting and educational project for summer 2021...Let's stay connected????  

31/ Your recovery routine?

I recover in peace, calm, in front of a match, a series, a book, peaceful. I hydrate as much as possible because I know I never drink enough. I often combine my recovery with stretching.  

32/ Your little cocooning pleasure?

A big nap, without waking up!
