Her Beauty Secrets

Most underrated tip: Bring your skincare down to your neck, chest, and hands! Give products consistent use and enough time to show results, while allowing your skin recovery time when needed.

A mistake she'd never make: Sleeping in makeup or skipping her double cleanse.

Favorite West Em treatments: Microneedling + BBL for texture, pigment, fine lines, pores, and collagen stimulation.

One product she can't live without: SkinCeuticals P-TIOX. She loves it for helping improve the appearance of fine lines and texture while supporting a hydrated, radiant look.

Non-skincare beauty hacks: Use a beard brush for the perfect slick-back hairstyle, find the colors that complement your natural features, and let your blowout cool before touching or styling it!
