“Skin care is straight-up a hobby of mine,” she explained on her Instagram Stories. “I’m a science nerd and I truly enjoy the science of it, reading about compounds and studies. It’s like that.” Another major influence for Ocasio-Cortez has been her mother, who she says used to break out a lot in her twenties and has imparted wisdom accordingly. “She taught me since I was a kid not to touch my face,” she explained.

Making a point to highlight that everyone’s skin is different and ever-evolving, she divulged that she considers her personal approach a blend between K-beauty and scientific consensus, and that she likes to experiment with specialized tools and treatments, such as face masks and under-eye patches. Ocasio-Cortez’s most enthusiastic recommendation? Cleansing your skin at the end of the day—even if you have to hack it. “If you’re layering your face in makeup day after day (which is totally fine!) make sure you clean or wipe your skin early when you get home so it has time to rest,” she explains, adding that she always keeps wipes next to her bed just in case. But so long as she has the energy, Ocasio-Cortez partakes in a multistep skin-care regimen. “I do indulge [in skin care] a little since I don’t buy a lot of makeup beyond my staples,” she says.

I'm surprised that Pelosi never gave up her Botox secrets.

I wish Vogue would have their Marine Freon Changer Ranger reveal his multi-step dental care routine on Facebook.

Arrested development. She talks like a 13 year old.
“Straight up”
“Man”
“It’s like that!”

Anyone old enough to remember the Peter principle?

Breaking down her daily routine into three steps, she begins by double cleansing with a balm or oil to melt off makeup, before using a a more traditional face wash to lift all other impurities. Next up are the more potent elixirs, like a gentle, nourishing toner to balance her skin’s pH before she layers on supercharged serums with active ingredients such as brightening vitamin C and anti-aging retinol. Finally, she finishes things off with a moisturizer carefully tailored to her skin and, the most important step of all, sunscreen. “I’ve been using daily sunscreen since I was 19,” she explains. “I’ve been bad about it lately and can tell the difference.”

I simply love this woman. Vapid, high energy, with great skin.

Bet that’s not the only straight up hobby she has.

She’s been, like, quite the deal, you know, since she was inaugurated and stuff.

“If you’re layering your face in makeup day after day (which is totally fine!) make sure you clean or wipe your skin early when you get home so it has time to rest,” she explains, adding that she always keeps wipes next to her bed just in case."

I'm a man, so I don't know anything about this, but to the ladies out there, this must be a stunning revolution. Who ever heard of such a thing? How long until we have a federal program in charge of makeup application and clean-up?

Find out how much she spends on clothes, makeup and other beauty treatments and what her income is...and you will know what she really is about!!!!!!

“Skin care is straight-up a hobby of mine,”

Perhaps she should have made dentistry a hobby instead?

People rise to their level of incompetence, and are frozen there.

If you’re layering your face in makeup day after day (which is totally fine!)

Tammy Faye comes to mind :)

[CodeToad]

Horse soap?

[bgill]

Straight up, I wouldn’t touch her face, either.

[grumpygresh]

Looks like she has a choice of a wide variety of quality products. Too bad her socialist policies would end all that.

[FlingWingFlyer]

What kind of PSI is she carrying in her Mae West?

Thank for the pic. Remember Mr. Ed?
