Pore Decisions

Plus, her self-tanning tips, favorite beauty tool and more.

Ashley Grahamexudes a warm, sunny energy, both IRL and online and not just because shes perpetually bronzed.

I just love it because it’s super hydrating, she says.

But just because shes perfected the art of the self-tan (in 30 minutes or less!)

doesnt mean that she hasn’t had any skin missteps along the way.

But the worst thing shes ever done for her skin?

The first products I remember trying areClean & Clear Morning Burstcleanser andCetaphilcleanser they both just bring me back.

I still think that Cetaphil is pretty good for washing your face.

It’s just clean and simple.

On Her Biggest Skin Annoyance

Currently my biggest skin concern is blackheads on my nose.

I just don’t know how to combat them quite yet, beyond just getting extractions.

So, I’m just always getting extractions.

I just got my first facial fromShani Dardenand it was painful and exhilarating.

I’m trying to figure that out for the summertime.

And I think the worst is that any skin care is for everybody.

That’s pretty bad advice.

And if my husband’s around, I’d beg him to do my back.

I also like the new St. TropezLuxe Tan Tonic Dropsfor the face.

I apply two to four drops, depending on what I’m doing.

It is my filler.

I do acupuncture [instead of filler].

I go toSandra Lanshinin Brooklyn and she basically dry-needles it.

It is fricking phenomenal.

On Her Go-To Beauty Tool

Thegua shareally is such a good tool.

And I use it in my neck because I get lots of tension in my head.

Sandra has thesehow-tos on her TikTokthat show how to do it.

On Her Wind-Down Routine

I love a red light mask.

[My skin] gets really red, really quick, [so it helps with that].

I keep it next to my bed and use it probably twice a week.

And Im that chick in bed with myTherabody bootson.

Im obsessed with laying down with the mask on, boots on, listening to a meditation.
