Her aging philosophy: In my 30s, I thought beauty was about perfection. Now, I see fine lines as proof of laughter, wisdom. Beauty evolves, and leaning into that makes you truly radiant!

Her must-have beauty products: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Isdin sunscreen, SkinMedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream and TNS Recovery Complex, Ourself HA+ Replenishing Eye Serum, L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox shampoo and mask, Tom Ford foundation, Charlotte Tilbury eyeliner pencil, brow pencil, and blush, and L’Oréal bronzer powder.
The beauty lesson she wishes she’d learned in her 30s: Retin-A! I still don’t use it, but I should. My friend is 64 and her skin is flawless, and she swears it’s because she’s used Retin-A since she was 30.

Her minimal beauty routine: I’m pretty low-maintenance on the beauty products, but I absolutely can’t leave the house without my pink lip gloss! I’m also known for always having my lashes on. I could be mowing the yard, and I will have eyelashes on. Ridiculous, I know, but that’s just me!
Her one-product nightly skin care ritual: The one skin care item I use every night is Egyptian Magic Cream. I found it on clearance at TJMaxx about five years ago, and now I’m hooked! A jar lasts forever, and there are only five ingredients.
Her beauty advice for her 30-something self: Get outside as much as possible and get some kind of exercise every day. Oh, and drink lots of water! I didn’t start doing any of that until my mid-thirties.

Her favorite beauty indulgence: My biggest beauty splurge is always going to be my primer and foundation. I want my skin to look flawless and have a natural glow. I don’t like heavy makeup that looks caked on the face—it will only accentuate the wrinkles and imperfections. I swear by Tarte’s BB Blur Tinted Moisturizer.
The beauty treatments she swears by: I use a gua sha tool every morning, followed by face ice plunging. I use scar tape on my forehead along with mouth tape before I go to bed. I do red light therapy not only on my face, but other parts of my body. Every six weeks, I do microneedling to help with pore minimizing and boosting collagen production.

The products that helped her survive the mansion: During the filming, I used One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray and Lawless Perfecting Power. It is a perfect way to set your makeup. Westmore Beauty Body Coverage Perfector blurs my freckles and illuminates my skin—I found this gem right before we checked into the mansion; it was a game-changer. Do yourself a favor and get the buffing brush with it. The brush is half the magic.
