Lizzo [1] may be pretty busy topping the charts and dominating award shows [2], but she still makes time to put as much effort into her beauty routine as she does her ascending career. The 31-year-old "Truth Hurts" singer recently caught up with The New York Times, where she talked about her beauty and skincare regimen [3] and how she learned the hard way that sleeping in your makeup [4] isn't exactly the best beauty practice.
"I was on the road, and I was sleeping in my makeup a bunch," she said. "It was so embarrassing. What am I, a child? And I was waking up and thinking I'm invincible, nothing can happen to me! Then one day my face broke out — not even broke out in acne, but red and irritated. I was like, 'Oh my God, this is what happens when you party all night and you don't wash off your makeup."
Lizzo [5] continued, "It was really scary. I thought my skin would never come back." Despite her fears, though, Lizzo was able to get her skin in better shape after a bit of "skin rehab" and some solid recommendations from her makeup artist, Alexx Mayo [6] — and, thankfully, she shared a few of them with the world.
