I’m a model in my 30s who still books jobs playing teenagers. Here are the skincare secrets I swear by.

Vie de Mer is one of my favorite skincare brands.

If I didn’t travel so much, my bathroom counter would be overflowing with skincare products. But because I’m relegated to what will get through a TSA checkpoint, I’m super discerning of what I buy.

Vie de Mer, Agent Nateur, and Botnia are some of the tried-and-true brands I swear by.

Because flying can be dehydrating, I like to do a quick cleanse with a facial wipe and use FactorFive’s soothing sheet mask or Dr. Dennis Gross’ vitamin C brightening treatment mask to keep my skin hydrated on long international flights.

When I don’t want to scare my in-flight neighbors with a full face mask, I reach for Grace & Stella’s under-eye masks, which are an affordable way to keep my tired under-eye areas from becoming puffy.

Monthly facials are a must for keeping my skin looking young and hydrated

I try to get a facial every four to six weeks to keep my skin looking great. In addition to keeping my skin hydrated and healthy, regular facials are thought to have a number of skin benefits, including increased cell turnover and improved blood circulation.

As an Asian American, my melanated skin often struggles with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots that can appear after acne or trauma to the skin).

This means if I have a blemish, it can take a frustratingly long time to heal. However, I’ve found that regular facials have helped speed up the healing process.

Because I travel full-time, it’s admittedly hard to maintain a consistent routine — and a bad facial with overzealous exfoliation or extractions can do more harm than good.

However, I’ve found lots of great estheticians in the cities I frequent, including master esthetician Patty Huang in Seattle and the professionals at Shop Good in San Diego.

I take collagen supplements to support my skin health

I add Agent Nateur’s marine-collagen supplement to my coffee, smoothies, and yogurt bowls.

Collagen is a type of protein that helps support skin, hair, and bone health.

Our bodies produce collagen naturally, but as we age, less of the protein is made, which can lead to decreased skin elasticity.

Although there hasn’t been a ton of research on whether supplements can help boost collagen levels, I like to eat traditional Chinese delicacies that are high in collagen.

I also add Agent Nateur’s holi (mane) supplement to my coffee, smoothies, and yogurt bowls.
