Zlata Ognevich’s claim that the secret to looking flawless lies in one’s financial means sparked a storm of reactions online. However, as is often the case, a single phrase, taken out of context, instantly went viral and sparked a wave of discussion. Tina Karol also found herself in the spotlight and did not leave the situation uncommented.

Singer Tina Karol has commented on Zlata Ognevich’s remarks regarding money and her approach to maintaining her beauty.

Karol wrote about this in a comment on one of her Instagram posts.

A clip from Ognevich’s interview, in which she said that beauty care requires financial resources, went viral online.

This sparked a debate about the extent to which attractiveness depends on one’s budget.

Tina Karol was frequently mentioned in the discussions.

"We simply have the money to look after ourselves. It’s a lifestyle – and that’s very strict discipline, because without it, nothing will work. It’s about diet, exercise and sleep. Not just a visit to the beautician once every six months, but regular treatments. High-quality skincare products," said Zlata.

She also emphasised that she doesn’t expect quick results and doesn’t view beauty treatments as an instant solution to all problems.

According to her, consistency and balance in one’s lifestyle are crucial.

The artist noted that she doesn’t smoke, keeps her alcohol intake in check and doesn’t rule out the possibility of cosmetic surgery in the future.

Tina Karol responded to the discussion quite clearly and categorically, rejecting the idea of a direct link between money and physical attractiveness.

She emphasised that internal motivation, discipline and a systematic approach to lifestyle play a key role.

In her view, physical condition is directly shaped by daily habits – diet, routine and self-care – rather than income level, whilst finances alone are not a determining factor in beauty.

"Money doesn’t make a person beautiful. The drive and desire to be a better version of yourself – that’s what breeds discipline and consistency. Your figure and skin are a reflection of your habits and lifestyle. The cause-and-effect relationship lies elsewhere!" she wrote.
