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 purchased this swimsuit, and have had numerous compliments on it. I love the material it is made out of. I primarily use it for swimming laps and haven’t had any issues with irritation or chaffing. I have recommended this brand to several people.
I’ve purchased many swim dresses for my 3 daughters- they are a favorite! Decided to join them with this suit. The color is beautiful and I’m very happy with the quality.
Mum of 3 boys with another on the way. Ordered this all the way from
Ireland and it was totally worth it. Love the style and I am now 6 months pregnant and the suit still feels great. Hope to get many years of wear out of it.
