What is your skin type?

I would say it really depends on the weather. Sometimes dry, sometimes oily!

Who or what influenced your skincare routine?

No one really influenced me because each skin type varies and [depends on] what really suits you. So you really need to find what suits you.

What is your evening skincare routine?

I honestly don’t use much. I think if I use more, my skin gets more irritated. I’m super basic. Steps would be: clean, tone, and moisturize every morning and night. Of course, never forget to use sunscreen every morning, too! Even if I just stay at home, I still put on sunscreen.

What are your holy grail products?

Facial wash, toner and moisturizer. It’s really that three combos. I honestly sometimes switch up brands since I don’t want my skin to get used to just one brand or a certain product.

How did you find a skincare routine that works for you?

If I don’t break out after a week of using it, then I know it works for my skin!

What is a skincare hack you think we should know?

I put really thick layers of moisturizer at night. It becomes really oily in the morning but when I wash it off, it really gives my skin that extra moisture!

Do you use facemasks?

Yes—Sulwashoo! It’s the only face mask I use and it’s amazing! Probably once a week and it honestly gives amazing results.

Do you have a beauty horror story?

Not really. Just bad times when I break out, so I usually visit my derma (skincare) they take care of me pretty well.

How often do you practise skin fasting (a break from skincare)?

I don’t think I take a break from it. Our skin needs it every day.
