What is your skin type?

Clear and natural with few thirsty skin expanses after exposure to daylight during my beach moments.

What influenced your skincare routine?

I believe love always does the trick; my skin glimmers when I'm around, alleviating relationships. I honour every human connection; I am a faithful supporter of sustainability (nature, orderliness, and pure and clean substances). I avoid all forms of toxicity involving people who inflict pain to the environment and my person intentionally.

What is your evening skincare routine?

Life is not perfect, so I need some help from La Mer, Aivee's ceramics, 360 collagen, and Glossier future dew. A list of alternate routines daily depends on my mood; the skin doesn't speak forward, but emotions and wellbeing do. I anticipate tomorrow. I reckon with my eye surface; they are most vulnerable to a stressful day.

What are your holy grail products?

La Mer moisturiser regeneration, Ceramide from Aivee, La Mer eye balm intense (concentrate then I put a serum), and Glossier super glow and super bounce.

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

I am an exquisite experimenter. I read a lot and tried it out. Glossier was our case study at Harvard. I visited the pop-up shop in New York City and fell in love with their creations instantly. It was knowingly formulated for me.

What was your trial and error process?

I have a vital self-mastery of my mind and heart. I can anticipate the needs of my skin and body.

What is a skincare hack you think we should know?

Rinse [face] with cold water; a little massage upwards [then apply] primer. Additionally, give a moment to put the best colour mixture of shaping cream foundation. Wear red gloss and shimmer to brighten.

Do you use facemasks?

No, I don't particularly appreciate waiting! I am not a fan of face masks, but I steam once a week and frost to tighten my pores.

Do you have a skincare horror story?

No, except [I have] dark eye circles due to strain, but as I said, I understand my needs, so I am 24-hours ahead.

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

I don't fast—but just in case I'm in a hurry or I want a no makeup look, I apply Armada sunblock and tinted moisturiser and finish with red lip polish.

Are there any skincare rules you’ve broken that have done wonders to your skin?

Yes, putting sunblock at night can be an intense regimen, but I know it's necessary.
