The podcaster fills us in on her skincare journey and her new functional beverage brand.

This is the stuff that makes a real difference.

On November 18, something strange happened.

But fans won’t have to guess any longer.

But while the name may not be taking itself too seriously, Cooper is undeniably proud of the launch.

“It’s my baby.”

“Obviously, men can drink it too,” Cooper clarifys.

Ahead, her acne journey, her winter routine, and the TikTok tip that changed her skin.

So I got on Accutane, and I actually did a couple rounds.

It is a life changer, but the unfortunate part is the dryness.

Everyone has different skin types.

If I knew a game was coming up that weekend, I’d start hydrating on Monday.

So hydration has always been a part of my life.

So I would say, like, that has been a cornerstone of my skincare routine.

My makeup looks 10 times better when my skin is hydrated.

As I’m growing up, it’s more to keep myself healthy.

I’m not playing sports every single day.

“I think because [drinking water] seems so simple, people look past it.

They’re like, what procedure do I need?

What laser do I need?

What Botox do I need?

And it really is that simple.

My skin was completely better this time around because I was hydrated.”

And I’m not kidding you, it has changed my life.

I can tell a noticeable difference when I’m putting that on my face.

I can tell the difference in the glow of my skin based off of the snail mucin.

So, TikTok was right."
