What is your morning beauty routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need my skincare routine to be simple. A few days a week, I apply my hydrating Face Mask<\/a> first thing in the morning, while drinking my latte and responding to overnight emails. Twice a week, I\u2019ll either use the Facial Scrub<\/a> or Enzyme Cleanser<\/a> in the shower on my face and body to remove dead skin cells, boost circulation and encourage skin renewal. The rest of the time I cleanse with my Cleanser<\/a>. Immediately after showering (which is important to avoid osmosis\/trans-epidermal water loss), I apply my Balancing Toner<\/a>, then Hyaluronic Serum<\/a> and Anti-Pollution Drops<\/a>, Face Cream<\/a> and Eye Cream<\/a>. The Lifting Serum<\/a> is so amazing. I love applying it after my moisturizer. Not counting the Face Mask<\/a>, my entire skincare routine takes only 1-2 minutes. <\/p>\n

I rarely wear makeup but when I do, I opt for eye shadow by Anastasia Beverly Hills<\/a> and Westman Atelier\u2019s Vital Skin Foundation Stick<\/a>. I also love Jillian Dempsey\u2019s Lid Tints<\/a> because I can apply those with just with my fingertips. Jillian Dempsey\u2019s Gold Sculpting Bar<\/a> is amazing, too.

\nI don\u2019t take much time on my hair routine on any day. In the shower, I like to use Shampoo & Conditioner by The Ouai<\/a>. I have short hair, and extra haircare for me means I blow dry it. I recently launched my Scalp Serum<\/a> and I\u00a0give that dual\u00a0use as my\u00a0scalp protection & haircare product.
\n\u00a0
\nWhat products to use throughout the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few! The Lip Balm<\/a> is amazing for a super glowy effect and for maintaining hydration. And of course, the Glow Drops<\/a> has become a constant for me \u2013 I typically wear it instead of makeup to instantly brighten up my skin for all of my Zoom meetings, Instagram Lives, Skin Schools and Masterclasses. It\u2019s essential for a natural and healthy Sturm glow.\u00a0I keep my Hydrating Face Mist<\/a> with me to refresh and replenish my skin throughout the day. It contains Hyaluronic Acid for a powerful hydration drench and Purslane, an ingredient that has been widely studied for both its anti-aging and healing properties. I also added Aloe Vera which provides moisture and soothes, and Prickly Pear Extract which has skin hydrating and nourishing fatty acids. It provides every skin type with a burst of pure hydration, detoxification, and revitalization.

\nWhat is your evening beauty routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At night, I always cleanse before bed to remove pollution, pathogens, oil, makeup, and other impurities from the skin before sleep. Cleansing also prepares the skin to receive active ingredients that assist the body\u2019s night-time reparative processes. My Night Serum<\/a> boosts this renewal process with active ingredients that include Cotton Thistle Extract to counteract dryness and stressed skin, Senna Alata Extract that aids the skin\u2019s own protection against UV-induced damage and Poria Cocos, which provides astringent, toning and calming properties.\u00a0I also take my Sleep Food<\/a> supplements before bed, especially after a stress-filled day. It\u2019s a blend of natural active ingredients that relax the body and mind and helps me fall asleep sooner and deeper. Morning and night, I use my Dr. Apa Toothbrush & Toothpaste<\/a>. Sleep is also non-negotiable part of my beauty regime. Hormone levels and other changes that occur while we sleep make this a critical period for cellular rejuvenation and related processes.
\n\u00a0
\nWhat is your definition of beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healthiness, happiness, and confidence from the inside out. Healthy, hydrated, and radiant skin that doesn\u2019t require makeup and is beautiful on its own. And that is a central premise of my skincare line and approach as a doctor. I focus on the health of my skin, and view healthy skin as beautiful, glowing skin that I feel confident in.\u00a0That\u2019s beauty!
\n\u00a0
\nWhen do you feel most beautiful?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I\u2019m any different from anyone else; when I\u2019m getting enough exercise, enough sleep and my children are happy \u2013 I am at my happiest.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
