A beloved home decor influencer reveals how to make your skin look as good as your living space

1. Sleep. Do whatever you can to get 6-8 hours every night, but don’t be hard on yourself if you fail. Make sure your pillows and sheets are as comfy as possible and keep an eye mask handy.

2. Consistency with skincare. Take care of your skin every night, even if you’re exhausted or insist that your face is basically clean already.

3. Eat a couple of fruits and veggies every day. I’m admittedly not great at drinking tons of water, but I find that eating water-rich foods like berries and cucumbers help give me the same advantages.

I actually was super unorganized with my skincare until last month when I got this 3-tiered organizer. This way I can see everything and it makes it easy to remember every step in my daily routine—not just skincare and SPF, but things like mouthwash too. It’s helped me to use way less brain power when I’m getting ready in the morning.

I feel the most stressed in the evenings, so I try to start winding down earlier to relax myself. I take nightly baths and make gratitude lists, even in my head if I don’t have time to grab my journal.

I’m really sensitive so I dim the lights after dinner and try to watch only comforting movies and TV at night—I save the scary stuff for daytime viewing!

Not every night can be calming and perfect though, and that’s okay. I think giving yourself grace is the biggest secret to diminishing stress and anxiety.

My number one is always bringing flowers into your space. Grab a couple of bunches at the supermarket and make your own arrangement. It’s so much fun and the best way to tune out for a bit! I feel the same way about lighting a few candles around your home. It just makes you feel good.

On a bigger scale, decorate with colors and pieces that make you feel happy. This doesn’t have to be a full renovation—create or thrift a piece of art with your favorite colors, get a mug that makes you smile when you drink your morning coffee or move around some furniture or art you already have until it feels cozier.

It’s true—I love getting regular lash lifts so I can wake up looking ready for the day with minimal makeup. I’ve also been eyeing this overnight retinoid eye cream.

I also make sure to clean my glasses and sunglasses every week because I’ve gotten so many nose bridge and eye area breakouts from forgetting to do this!

I’m lucky that i can sort of hide behind the camera a lot in my work. But I do try to be honest about what I’m going through and have shared a lot about my rosacea journey. It’s nice to be able to to connect with people who are battling similar skin stresses as you!

In general, I’m more of a 2-4 step routine person. When I’m having a bad moment with my rosacea, I completely eliminate all skincare and just wash my face with a gentle cleanser twice a day. My skin really appreciates simplicity!
