Daily Beauty Rituals: The LA-based model wakes up to Future, finds peace in puzzles and recovers from a late one with cold brew. She’s glowing.

Words: The Face
The first thing I eat or drink when I wake up is…
Mint tea – I like to hydrate a little before having caffeine. Mint tea wakes me up enough to get going, plus it tastes amazing without needing sugar or honey.
The soundtrack to my morning routine is…
March Madness by Future. Sounds crazy, but during my senior year of high school in 2016, this was my 6am alarm to get up for school. That year, I [was] booked [to model for] my first print magazine and took my first trip to New York. Now, when I hear March Madness, I think of good change coming my way.
My go-to beauty hack for when I’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
Undereye patches, coconut water, cold brew.
The product I’ll reach for when I’ve got a pimple is…
Nothing to be honest. I wait it out and try my best not to mess with it. But I’m the worst when it comes to popping pimples prematurely.
My favourite brand of sunscreen is…
Youth To The People’s Youthscreen.
My holy grail skincare product is…
Youth To The People’s Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream, the 15% Vitamin C Bright Cell Serum and the Superfood Cleanser.
My best kept beauty secret is…
Little to no alcohol! I get a better night’s sleep and don’t wake up puffy.
My favourite feature is…
It’s a tie between my freckles and my lips.
Because…
Those features feel so one of a kind, and my freckles remind me of my Mommy ❤️
My first beauty-related memory is…
Watching my grandma get ready in the mirror.
It means a lot to me because…
She has always taught me a lot about being a kind, caring and whimsical person.
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Jigsaw puzzles. I loved them growing up, but rediscovering them now has been nothing short of life-changing. They’ve been my favourite mindful pastime and helped me reduce my screen time.
I keep my lips moisturised with…
Tocobo Vita Glazed Lip Mask. I learned about this Korean lip mask on set, and it’s been my
most reliable and consistent product since.
The bougiest beauty product I own is…
Not a product, but my infrared sauna membership (lol). So silly, so LA, so enjoyable.
The face mask that never lets me down is…
My signature scent is…
[Byredo’s] Casablanca Lily, Slow Dance and Rose of No Man’s Land. I like to swap
between the three depending on my mood.
TikTok made me buy it…
Mouth tape. I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much deeper I slept, and it helped relieve the general dryness that I sometimes experience when waking up.
My top tips for having a good hair day are…
Having someone else do my hair. I hate to admit it, but I don’t enjoy doing my hair much. My best hair days are when I’m working and someone else is in charge.
My evening skincare routine looks like…
Cleanser and a little moisturiser or a face mask afterwards. Sometimes I wonder if I keep it too simple – but if it ain’t broke.
The secret to a good night’s sleep is…
No TV in the bedroom.
