Q1: What’s one self-care practice you recommend to align with the fall equinox?
The fall equinox is a beautiful time to start turning inward and conserving your energy. I recommend a mineral-rich bath with our Royal Codes Bath Soak to replenish the body’s reserves and prepare for the cooler months ahead.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bathing is more than just cleansing; it’s a way to support the flow of qi, nourish yin, and release any excess heat from summer. The minerals help restore balance, calm the nervous system, and ground you as you transition into a slower, more reflective season.
As stated on the bag, as the water drains, imagine all your worries going with it.

Q2: What’s your current go-to Golden Secrets product and why?
Right now, I’m obsessed with our Cleansing Ritual Kit; it’s my non-negotiable. The Illuminating Cleansing Oil, Magic Brightening Powder, and Glowing Facial Cloths work together to completely transform my skin.
It’s more than cleansing, it’s a ritual that leaves my skin balanced, radiant, and prepped for everything else in my routine. I haven’t found anything else that makes my skin feel this clean, soft, and alive. I always say, cleansing is the first step to beautiful skin, so if you have yet to try it, here’s your sign.

Q3: What’s one simple way to instantly revive tired, lackluster skin?
Exfoliation done the right way. I use our Magic Brightening Powder 2–3 times a week to gently polish away dead skin and buildup without stripping my barrier. It’s like giving your skin a clean slate, so every product you apply after works harder and penetrates deeper. Within minutes, your complexion looks fresher, smoother, more even, and radiant.
Pro-tip: leave it on the skin like a mask to help break up discoloration. It’s pure magic!

Q4: Are there any fall foods you add to your diet for skin health?
Annually, I focus on skin-loving staples like bone broth, collagen, colostrum, pearl powder, and a variety of nutrient-dense foods and supplements. But in the fall, I lean into eating with the season. Think root vegetables, hearty soups, stews, and other warming foods.
Eating seasonally not only delivers peak nutrition but also naturally aligns with what your body needs during that time, supporting overall health and skin vitality.

Q5: What’s one small daily habit that’s had a big impact on your skin over time?
Misting with Aura Beauty Mist throughout the day has been a game-changer for my skin. As we age, our skin naturally loses moisture, and most people mistake dehydration for aging. Regular misting helps replenish hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and keep skin plump and radiant all day long.
I keep the large Aura Beauty Mist in my bathroom for my morning and evening rituals, a small one in the refrigerator for an instant cooling pick-me-up every time I open the fridge, and another in my bag so I can refresh my skin wherever I go.
