Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Leah Neset:
Thank you so much! My skin is naturally very dry, so with my skincare routine, I focus on both cleaning and moisturizing my skin. In the morning, I always use a gentle face wash and lotion before applying my foundation. For my foundation, I like to use Clinique Moisture Surge, because it gives some extra moisture to my skin and also works as a light sunscreen. Before I go to bed, I use micellar water as a makeup remover, and I apply Amlactin lotion to my hands.
For my hair care, I usually get a haircut a week or two before competition. This year I have been getting partial highlights as well. At home, I keep it pretty simple and shampoo and condition my hair every other day with natural products. Currently, my favorite product is Hair Food.

Namita Nayyar:
Five travel destinations on your wish list.
Leah Neset:
Some travel destinations I would love to visit as a tourist are Paris, Venice, and Hawaii. The top location on my travel wish list is Artem’s hometown of Volgograd, Russia, because I would love to meet his family and friends and see where he grew up. I would also love to visit Uganda and Columbia someday to meet the children who my family sponsors there through Compassion International and Children’s International.
Namita Nayyar:
What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and the message for its visitors?
Leah Neset:
The Women’s Fitness website is very cool! I especially find it very interesting and inspiring to read the athlete feature stories.
Namita Nayyar:
In sports like Ice dancing how you were able to overcome any physical or sports injury setbacks and what advice you can give to those in a similar situation?
Leah Neset:
I have been very fortunate to not have many injuries. However, I did have an injury in December of 2022 in which a tendon in my finger was severed by a skate blade. It was about a month before nationals, and I had to have surgery to repair the tendon. As a result, I competed with a brace. It was interesting to skate our programs without the use of my hand, but luckily, we were able to do all our elements with only minor modifications.
It was not great timing for an injury, but it made for a pretty good story! Artem and I also were able to learn a lot through the situation, as it forced us to work together and adapt. Although I have never faced anything major, my advice would be to make the most out of the situation. I believe that injuries provide a great opportunity to learn and can very effectively teach patience and perseverance.
Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding Ice dancer girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of ice dancing?
Leah Neset:
My advice is to be patient and keep working hard. If you are looking for a partner, make the most of your time of search to build your own skills and become the best that you can be. Know that although the search may sometimes feel never ending, it is worth the wait to find the right partner. Don’t give up!
If you have a partner already, remember to work together with your partner and be patient with each other and the process. Success does not come overnight, so be sure to savor the journey. Be prepared that it will not always be easy but remember that it is the challenges overcome that make the process rewarding and there is always something new to learn every day!
