“WithDancing with the Stars,you’re doing crazy makeup,” says Gomez.
“It’s very packed on, and there’s lots of glitter.
So, it was very important for me to take care of my skin.

CeraVe sent over products, and they all worked amazingly for me.
About Her Skin
“As you get older, you start getting littlebreakouts.
So, I try toexfoliateoften and not wear makeup if I don’t need it.
Recently, I’ve been gettingbreakouts all over my forehead.
I learned that they were triggered by not exfoliating.
How She Got Into Skincare
“My grandma loves skincare so much.
She talks about how important skincare is.
When I was little, I would go to her place, and she had a whole skincare setup.
She had a station for hot water for her washcloths because that’s how important it is to her.
So, that’s where I got it from.
If I wear makeup at night, I’ll use amakeup wipeto remove everything.
Then, I’ll use the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, which I love.
It’s called aBuf-Puf.
I use a damp one along with the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser and massage it on my forehead.
After that, I’ll use aneye creamand myLancome Advanced Genifique Night Cream.”
The Skincare Step She Never Skips
“Exfoliating is a step I never skip.
I also check that to remove all my makeup, even if it’s on my ears and neck.
That is something I would forget so often as a kid, leading to zits.”
Hence, I got lots of breakouts and buildup on my skin.
So, learning that [less is more] was big for me.
Also, another thing I recently talked about is that brands send me many skincare products to try.
I always go back to CeraVe.
The Best Skincare Advice She’s Ever Received
“My mom always tells me to exfoliate.
But, she’s someone who doesn’t even exfoliate.”

Her Most Used Product
“My most used product is the Hydrating Micellar Water.
I use that a lot, mainly when I’m doing makeup to clean up certain mistakes.
I’ll use a Q-tip and micellar water to remove all the eyeliner.”
It pairs well with CeraVe products.”
