ON FINDING SOLUTIONS:
“Paying attention to my skincare routine is important because I struggle with acne. I suffer from PCOS, so every month I’m contending with a different kind of skin. I actually enjoy turning a product around and reading the ingredients. If I see an ingredient that I’m not familiar with, I’m the first to Google it to see whether it’ll work for me. When you have an issue or problem points, you’ll do anything you can to find a way to fix it. I am always looking for solutions and I see a real ROI on it. When you’re confident about your body, your skin, and your mental state, that’s true wellness to me.”
ON TRUSTING THE PROFESSIONALS:
“Facials relax me. There is nothing more underrated than a face massage—it wakes you up better than anything else. What really helped my acne are black carbon peels, which I schedule every three months. The accompanying laser treatment lets the liquid carbon bind to the skin, which really lets it penetrate and exfoliate.”
ON EXPERIMENTING WITH DIY REMEDIES:
“I use an ice roller every day before I head to a shoot. We wake up at 4.45 am, so the cold helps fight puffiness. Another mix that I whip up is a lip scrub—I mix sugar with a little ghee and scrub my lips to get rid of any flakes.”
