A CONVERSATION WITH NIKKI GAL
Can you describe your morning routine?
I wake up about 5:00 am every day. I love to start my morning drinking a glass of water, a meditation session, and a cold shower to wake up my body and mind. Sometimes, I’ll put on a serum too! After that, I go through my emails and start my day.
What does a typical workday look like for you as a model and health advocate?
I work Monday through Sunday as an entrepreneur, model and mental health advocate, but with a balance. Balance is key to my life, as I like to dedicate time to myself by taking needed breaks. Every day is different for me, but I like to focus on my day to day goals. Breaking it down day by day helps me stay on track and stay motivated among my professions and passions.

Do you have a favorite Biyó product?
I love starting my mornings with Biyó’s Beautifying Body Oil— it keeps my skin refreshed, renewed and ready for the day.
How do you prepare your skin before a photo shoot?
I drink a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated and also try to keep cosmetics off my face for at least 6 hours prior to shooting. I like my skin to be clean, hydrated and prepared!
What’s your go-to makeup look for a busy day?
Something under 5 minutes, a little bit of tinted moisturizer, lip balm and some mascara.
Can you share a beauty tip that has significantly improved your skin?
Getting at least 8 hours of sleep!
What’s your favorite DIY beauty treatment?
Cold spoons under your eyes! It decreases puffiness and feels so good on the skin, especially if you haven’t had enough sleep!
What beauty trend are you currently obsessed with?
I love bold eye looks! They’re so fun and artistic.
What’s your evening skincare routine like?
I like to wind down and remove any cosmetics I have on my face with a gentle cleanser. I like to put on a face mask too, typically a vegan collagen one with hyaluronic acid.
How do you incorporate self-care into your beauty routine?
I feel that a beauty routine is self-care. Everyone should take at least 20 minutes out of their day to focus on skin health— it is a priority.
