Favorite natural remedies

  • Manuka Honey - this story turned me onto honey masks. I did my research and Manuka is the best — and most expensive — but so worth it. (antibacterial)
  • Aloe Vera juice (healing, moisturizing)
  • Witch Hazel (toning)
  • coconut oil

Cleansers

  • keep it simple with CeraVe or Cetaphil

Spot/all over treatment

  • AcZone has helped me a lot
  • 10% benzol peroxide easy to get from Target

Other stuff

  • hormones - make sure they’re in check
  • sheets - switch often, especially pillow case
  • watch conditioner getting on skin/back/face
  • be careful not to touch your face / pick

Hi. Do you or did you ever feel ugly??? How do you deal with that feeling? Thanks for answering

Uh - yes! So I actually only look good a very small percentage of the time - when I’m at a modeling job, meeting my agency /clients, or shooting. I understand that it is an illusion and not really the real me. But since I know this, I don’t really get hung up on my imperfections. We all have them. As someone once said, we can’t compare our behind the scenes to someone else’s highlight reel. I’ve been lots of different weights size 00-14, have dealt with hormonal problems, stomach issues, and skin/arm/back breakouts. I think it’s just really importnat to separate yourself from your shell. There are some really “pretty” girls I know who are just ugly people inside, and I can’t help but see ugly on the outside. Their energy is not beautiful in the slightest. Same with men.

But also - if people really don’t like something about their appearance, I usually support them getting whatever it is that they are insecure about “fixed” if that’s going to make them feel more confident & be able to live their life with that confidence.

Workouts

Sorry, I accidentally deleted my last ask about my workout routine.

Anyway, right now in NYC I’ve been doing a lot of Yoga to the People & 305 fitness (cardio dance). I also love kickboxing, Pilates, and Zumba classes and walking/hiking in nature.
