I lay out in the sun. Screw skin cancer. I’ll die tan.
And once my face gets tan, I don’t wear makeup. I’m always washing my face, so I barely have acne problems anyway.
The sun also bleaches my blonde hair and I let it grow out.
I still wear eyeliner tho.
And I exercise a lot.
I don’t know if that answers your question, but those are my beauty secrets.
