Jessica Cruel's Beauty Edit

“You'll be surprised to hear that I don't wear makeup to the office. That's because I am all about skin. My main focus is preserving the amazing skin that I have with preventative treatments (RF microneedling) and skin-care products (retinol). When the whole high-maintenance-to-be-low-maintenance convo kicked off on TikTok, I felt I had finally found my beauty cohort. As a Leo, I'm also really into big, healthy hair, which means I never miss a trim appointment. I always go for deep conditioner and scalp scrub, and I rely on wigs as a protective style if I want a completely new look.” – Jessica Cruel, editor in chief
