Actress Jazmyn Simon is the one female lead on the hit HBO show Ballers and she or he’s got it occurring. She plays Julie, a health care provider and the wife of a former pro football linebacker, and her typical beauty regimen shouldn’t be that different from the role she plays on the show. We sat down with the starlet to get the 411 on how she keeps her skin in check each on and off set and here’s what she needed to say!
“It’s very essential to get facials,” Simons states candidly. “Facials and sunscreen—people don’t consider that Black people need sunscreen, but sunscreen with save your life.” Judging by the flawless nature of her skin, she’s obviously doing something right. Between flying backwards and forwards across the country and spending hours on set in studio makeup, Simon has a number of personal beauty policies that she swears by to maintain her skin clear year-round.
1. At all times wash your face at night. “I never go to bed with makeup on,” notes Simons. Along with getting facials on a monthly basis, Simons keeps her pores clear and her skin blemish free by washing her face twice a day with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ($6.99, at drugstores), and exfoliating twice every week using her Clarisonic facial brush ($219, at clarisonic.com).
2. Don’t do an excessive amount of together with your makeup. For probably the most part, she keeps her day-to-day makeup easy. “Skincare is de facto essential to me so I at all times start with a moisturizer— I’m obsessive about Belief (The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb; $22, at sephora.com) [As for my makeup routine] My makeup artist told me, in the event you aren’t expert at doing intricate eye shadow, select one color and just do a wash over your lid,” Simons told ESSENCE. Currently, she’s been double purposing her blush/bronzers and using them to warm up her face and add slightly color to her lids.
3. Spritz your face with a facial essence during flights. “My skin at all times feels really dry after a protracted flight, so I really like to hold Avène Eau Thermal Spring Water ($18.50, at drugstores) to refresh and hydrate my skin.”
4. Smile. “I used to be at an event a number of weeks ago and the subsequent day I got here across an article that read ‘when what you’re wearing doesn’t matter since you rsmile is so vibrant.’ Smiling makes an enormous difference. Quite a lot of people walk the red carpet and check out to be sexy, I don’t try this; I at all times smille,” Simons mentions satirically with a smile on her face. Noted! Smiling is the perfect makeup.
