He uses them on himself, and on Kim Kardashian.

Fittingly,Appletonjust announced a collaboration with Schwarzkopf, a brand known for its innovative coloring and haircare products.

Tell us about Schwarzkopf.

I love their professional bleaches (one of my favorites is the Blondme line).

I obviously tookKim KardashianandAriana Grandeblonde, and I’ve beenblondefor a long time.

When you do these big transformations that I’m known for, people want to know the process.

I think that’s one of the biggest things people struggle with these days.

Are there any looks you’ve done that really stand out to you?

I forget that these moments are a part of pop culture.

People reference them, and it becomes a trend.

Walk us through your hair routine.

I’m known for being a blonde, so Schwarzkopf’s products for blondes are always my go-to.

I always use my Money Mask as well.

What’s your usual skincare routine?

Living in Los Angeles, I’ve become such an advocate for skincare.

My skin gets dry, so I use Dr. Diamond’s InstaFacial Serum and the SkinMedica HA Rejuvenating Hydrator.

I also love La Mer’s Eye Concentrate Cream and Body Creme.

I also use retinol to keep my skin tight and then, obviously, sunscreen.

I use the SkinMedica Total Defense Sunscreen.

Do you have a self-care routine?

I work out a lot.

I do a lot of weightlifting, abs, and yoga.

I’m also big on meditation.

What do you do for mediation?

I use the Calm app.

A big part of my job is giving to people, giving time, energy, and focus.

You’ve got to ensure you take that time for yourself.

I think that’s universal for everyone.

Is there anything else you swear by?

The other thing I swear by is water.

I’m a big believer in drinking lots of water and keeping your skin really hydrated.

Honestly, that’s the other thing I need.

My go-to order is an Americano with two inches of oat milk.
