How a Busy LA Designer and New Mom Fakes Looking Rested
Hunting for the most romantic hotel on Anguilla? Or the chicest bistro for fondue in Aspen? Maybe you’re in the market for a new miracle-working serum, or outfit inspiration for a date night out? LA designer, entrepreneur, creative director, and model Rocky Barnes has all the answers (and more). Despite a temporary sleep deficit (she’s the mom of a one-year-old and a three-year-old), her glow is undeniable, and her eyes are sparkly and wide-awake. She chalks up her luminous skin to recent tweaks to her routine. “Clean beauty plays a big part in looking and feeling my best,” she says. “I first started reading the ingredients in my skin care when I was pregnant. Knowing products are safe for the whole family is super important to me now.” Here, a few of her secrets and tips for the freshest skin (and hair).
