About Her Skin
“I’m 50 years old, so I havefine lines and wrinkles.
I am grateful for them because they show off all my experience and [how much I laugh].
I also have texture issues, especially on my forehead and chin.
Acne is something you think will only happen when you’re young, but it’s never gone away.
I’m constantly worried about flare-ups.”
How She Got Into Skincare
“Those very first acne breakouts snapped me into attention.
The doctor told me I had to do some stuff to my skin.
I thought,Wait, I have to do all of this?”

Her Morning Versus Nighttime Routine
“At night, I go all in.
I use a face wash and the No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Serum, which I love.
Since I’m all about moisture, I’ll use the Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Cream.
Sometimes, I’ll use a hot washcloth on my face at the end of the day.
I’ll soak in it for a little bit.
My morning routine is all about getting up and going.
I’ll do a quick wash and then use the No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25.
It has SPF in it, so my skin is hydrated and protected.
The Skincare Step She Never Skips
“I always moisturize my skin [at night].
I have to wake up hydrated.”
For a long time, I also didn’t usesunscreenevery day.
It was an extra step I had to do, and sometimes, I would forget to apply it.
Now, I wear it every day.”
Her Most Used Product
“I love all of the No7 Future Renew products.
They have helped with texture, moisturizing, and dryness.
But the No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25 is probably my favorite.
The cream has simplified my skincare routine and makes it very easy.”
Her Skincare Pet Peeve
“Besides those deep jawlinecystic acne breakouts, it’s picking my zits.
Instead, they last longer.
I constantly have to talk myself out of touching my face.”
The One Ingredient Thats Made the Biggest Difference
“Retinol.
But my experience with them as an acne-prone teenager was that they were exceedingly drying.
So I was a little nervous about using it at first.”
When you’re young, it’s possible for you to get away with almost anything.
Everything shows up on my skin now if I don’t take care of myself on the inside.
So, that is what I’m truly focused on right now."
