Sandra Nam on the skin-care lesson she learned “too late,” the pillowcase she wears by, and the secret to great skin
“I’ve never liked the feeling of makeup on my skin, so the French-girl philosophy toward beauty immediately resonated with me: Invest more into your skin looking amazing, then you’ll need less makeup,” says Sandra Nam. The Creative Production Director at Squarespace traces her love for skin care to her mother, who wore minimal makeup and washed her face religiously. To this day, the two still trade skin-care tips.
The Cleanser Eve Lom Cleanser “This has been my cleanser for the last decade. At first, the process of putting on the balm and warming up water to use the muslin cloth seemed like a lot of work, but now I’ve realized using it every day is the key to great skin. In one cleansing step, it will remove your makeup, cleanse, tone, and exfoliate your skin, so although it sounds high maintenance, it’s actually a shortcut to beautiful skin.
“I recently started to use this product as a toner after cleansing and before serums. I have the big one in my cabinet and buy smaller ones to have at work and on the go. I pretty much use it all the time. I’ll spray it on before going out or when I’m feeling tired at work or on flights. It’s a real game changer.”
$58 at The Detox Market Buy The Cold-Weather Moisturizer Naturopathica Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream “This has been my skin savior for the past two winters, and I’m a huge fan of Naturopathica — another natural brand that’s also really effective. It’s thick, and a tiny bit goes a long way. The calendula is great for my skin in the winter because it’s a calming ingredient, and the moisture lasts all day against the cold and wind.
$44 at Amazon Buy $44 at Amazon Buy The Sunscreen EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 “I learned this too late, but if you want to know what the single best anti-aging product is, it’s SUNSCREEN. I didn’t wear it every day like everyone told me to, because all the options for most of my life were so chemical-y. When I put any sunscreen on my face, these tiny red dots would show up, so it was not part of my skin-care routine for a very long time.
“I also like Dior’s Dior Addict Lip Sugar Scrub. The first time I used it, I was put off by the sugary smell and thought about returning it. But after a few more uses, it’s really grown on me, and now I love using it. It exfoliates your lips, and they feel so soft afterward.”
