Want Skin Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's? Don't Let Her Stop You

Ocasio-Cortez explained that's she's learned what works best for her through trial and error, saying, "The biggest factors that I think help *my* skin: I don't wear full-coverage foundation; I keep wipes next to my bed and at the very least wipe it off; and I have a multi-step skincare routine. I do indulge on this a little since I don't buy a lot of makeup beyond my staples."

Here, Ocasio-Cortez breaks down her routine into three steps: cleansing, treatments, and moisturiser. For the first, she suggested double-cleansing, but for anyone feeling particularly lazy (*raises hand*), she suggested a non-alcohol-infused facial wipe to "GET IT OFF your face" — at the very least.

Next, onto toner and actives, which are basically "serums w/ active compounds (ex: Vitamin C, retinol, w/e)," she wrote. "They should be in the layer closest to your skin after toner.

Finally, hydration: "Use a moisturiser that works with your skin. I find moisturiser to be one of the most personal steps bc everyone's skin is different and it's like finding jeans that fit."
