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.

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!

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.
