WHAT’S THE ONE BEAUTY HACK YOU SWEAR BY BUT HAVEN’T SHARED WITH ANYONE YET?
Applying Fucidin Cream—an OTC product from the drugstore—on a pimple overnight, and you’ll wake up with clear skin.
WHAT’S YOUR BEAUTY ICK?
Men thinking that self-care is “too feminine” is the biggest beauty ick of all.
WHAT’S A BEAUTY PRODUCT YOU’RE GATEKEEPING?
Gua Sha tools—it’s a game-changer in the mornings before skincare or makeup. It works wonders and sculpts your face.
WHAT’S YOUR ULTIMATE SKINCARE INDULGENCE?
A clinic-grade organic facial using fresh botanical extracts or at-home remedies. Nothing beats natural ingredients when it comes to skin and health care!
WHEN YOU’RE HAVING A BAD HAIR DAY, WHAT’S YOUR QUICK FIX TO TURN THINGS AROUND?
Slicked-back or wet look—quick, easy, and instantly chic. You can’t go wrong with it.
IF YOU COULD CREATE A BEAUTY PRODUCT WITH YOUR NAME ON IT, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
A skincare-makeup hybrid. It would be a game-changing product that enhances your skin while treating it.
THE SECRET TO FLAWLESS SKIN?
Consistent hydration, SPF every single day, and double cleansing at night.
DO YOU HAVE A BEAUTY RITUAL THAT’S A LITTLE WEIRD BUT TOTALLY WORKS?
Face icing or dunking my face in ice water every morning. It feels like a mini heart attack, but my skin looks tighter and more awake instantly!
WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST BEAUTY TREND YOU’VE EVER TRIED, AND DID IT ACTUALLY WORK?
Slathering my face in Vaseline or Mebo before bed. I woke up looking like a glazed donut, but my skin was insanely soft. It’s good to try every now and then, but overdoing it might cause clogged pores or irritation, especially if you have oily skin.
DESCRIBE YOUR ULTIMATE WELLNESS NIGHT IN—WHAT’S ON THE PLAYLIST, WHAT ARE YOU SNACKING ON, AND WHAT PRODUCTS ARE YOU USING?
My playlist is definitely a mix-and-match, but it would either be house music or pop/R&B. My go-to snack would be a bowl of açaí, along with a hydrating face mask by Wishful, a scalp treatment by Vichy, and a cozy spa atmosphere with candles and a diffuser.
