What are your top five beauty tips?
- Moisturize daily.
I like to apply my lotion right after I step out of the shower, while my skin is still a little damp. - Work with what you have.
I think it's important to embrace my beauty marks, thinning eyebrows and eyelashes. - Drink lots of water.
I'm sure to drink 100 ounces of water each day! - For me, less is more.
Growing up with skin complexion problems, I learned early on that the less I put on my face, the better. - Keep it simple and quick.
Simple wash-and-wear hair with a quick makeup routine and I'm ready to go out the door.
