Recently, I celebrated my birthday, and in a light-hearted moment, I joked that I’m now 28 years old. To my surprise, some people who didn’t know me IRL took me seriously! My agent even chimed in, saying I can still convincingly play characters in their late 20s on TV. It seems my routine for youthful, radiant skin is paying off ☺️ After years of trial and error, I’ve honed in on a simple yet effective skincare routine that keeps me looking fresh and vibrant. Here are my four tips for beautiful skin that anyone can easily incorporate into their daily lives.
1. Red Light + NIR Therapy
One of the easiest and most effective ways I've found to improve my skin is through red light therapy. Red light and NIR can increase the release of ATP, which energizes facial muscles and give them a more toned appearance. It can also increase collagen production. Just 15-20 minutes a day can make a noticeable difference. The beauty of it? You can easily fit this into your routine—turn it on while you’re getting ready in the morning or set it up on your desk while you work. It’s like giving your skin a little boost of energy, especially if you aren't getting lots of sunlight. I use Bontanny red light devices. The unit in today's IG post is the BL-300P but I also use the BO-300 and the BL-2160 (can you tell I love red light?)
2. Methylene Blue Serum
In the morning, I apply a methylene blue serum, ideally before my red light session. Methylene blue is known for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect and rejuvenate your skin while enhancing collagen production. I use daily sunshine serum with copper peptides for its effectiveness and ease of use + clean ingredients. You can get 15% off here using my code TheRealJessicaRey.

3. Bone Broth
Another game changer for my skin is incorporating bone broth into my diet. I make mine at home, but if you’re short on time, you can find quality options like Bonafide Provisions in the frozen section of many grocery stores. I start each morning with a warm bowl of bone broth topped with an egg from our chickens. Not only does it provide me with energy without that heavy feeling, but it’s also packed with collagen and hyaluronic acid, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity.
4. Castor Oil at Night
At night, I finish my routine with castor oil, which is fantastic for minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Its moisturizing properties help keep my skin supple and youthful. I use this castor oil which has become a staple in my nighttime regimen.
The other day, I ran into my facialist at the supermarket. With a playful tone, she joked about me “cheating” on her since I haven’t had a facial in ages. But here’s the truth: I simply don’t feel the need for professional treatments anymore. My four-step routine has transformed my skin, making me feel confident and radiant without the extra help. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the simplest changes can lead to the most beautiful results.
I wore this swimsuit on vacation and it looked so good against the blue water. I will send you the floating photo I did and it looks like a magazine because the color just pops! I actually wanted this swimsuit in an other print you had but it was sold out so I went with the yellow and I'm so glad I did.
I have this style swimsuit in two other colors and the fit is so good. It's like shapewear that sucks you in but not in an uncomfortable way because the fabric is so soft. Please keep making this swimsuit and I'll be a forever customer.
The way the color blocking is done on this swimsuit makes me look hourglass. I wanted a criss cross back, so I took a chance and undid the straps and sewed them back on criss cross and it's so perfect. I got the pink one too but left the straps as is. Love it.
I've never worn a swimsuit and gotten so many compliments in my life. Usually I opt for black swimsuits and I thought I'd go a little crazy by getting this black AND white swimsuit LOL. Maybe people are just surprised that I am not in all black, but everyone thinks it's so cute and I think it gives my body a great shape. Love the layers- compresses me in the right places.
I saw a girl wearing this swimsuit at the beach and had no shame in asking where she got it from. She was wearing the green one and I was so happy to see you. make it in my favorite color- pink! It is better made than any swimsuit I've ever owned- the fabric is top quality and I love the double straps that adjust.
