Like just attempt to keep your skin fresh and open.
Drink lots of water.
Wash your face with gentle soaps.
I use Dr. Bronner’s [unscented].
take a stab at use as many natural products as you might.
You know, what goes in your skin still goes in your body.
So just making sure that you just are protecting yourself and water, water, water, water.
And besides water, do you have any other go-to products for makeup or skincare that you recommend?
Well, I said Dr. Bronner’s.
That’s like a good …
I like that one because it’s super natural, super gentle.
That’s also because that’s what I have here.
I would be fine with cocoa butter.
So I venture to keep everything else as simple as possible.

Right now, sweatpants because I work every day, all day.
This has been my life for a year and a half now, nonstop.
So I haven’t met myself outside of this in a while.
I don’t know.
I love comfort clothing.
And so, yeah … comfort.
I don’t think I would wear a pair of heels if I don’t have to ever again.
