Interview: Rosshanna Bracho: Skincare, your first steps | The reporter

She is a young social communicator, originally from Venezuela, who in 2010 created missmonriee.com, a personal style blog in which she shares her passion for fashion and shows that you don't need to wear expensive brands to dress well, which It has had its own evolution.

She has been a model since she was 17, which is why she came to Mexico, and since then this has been her home. Thanks to his relationship with the world of fashion, he began to question social beauty standards and discovered his passion for skincare. For this reason, she studies and seeks answers to the unknowns related to skin care, this led her to write her first book Skincare, your first steps in which she transmits what she has learned.

Why did you choose this topic to develop in a book?

“I think that all my curiosity about skincare began with this topic of oiling my own skin, seeing myself in the mirror without makeup, loving myself, understanding that perfect skin is not that skin that a doll has, that skin of Plastic that doesn't have a single blemish. I wanted to start choosing makeup as an option and not an obligation to feel beautiful."

Do you approach the topic of skin care from self-esteem?

“Yes, I want to promote two things, to convey the message that taking care of the skin is not just a banal issue, it is an issue that is related to health and it is a responsibility that we all have. Skincare does not have a gender, nor does it have an age, I think that from our birth we are recommended to use sunscreen and communication was lost a bit and we stopped doing it, and really sunscreen as well as having cleansing and hydration in the skin are essential. Apart from all that, I feel that when we have a skincare routine and a habit of hygiene and cleanliness with ourselves, at the end of the day, we also promote self-esteem, acceptance and self-love, so my book is aimed at learning to take care of our skin, and also how to love our skin and take care of it from love, because many people start taking care of their skin because they hate it, and it should be the opposite, taking care of the skin should be the noblest sign of love towards ourselves ”.

Nicole Fuentes: Discover your purpose, what drives you?

What was the process of making this book like?

“I started writing the book more than three years ago, it wasn't really going to be a book, but a post for my blog written at the time, and I went from writing a paragraph to writing pages, I realized that I could convert all my passion as a fan into something material, which will last and reach many people. So I wrote the first version and years later knocking on doors, I decided to totally rewrite it, he approached Planeta, I showed him the book, he loved it and that's where it materialized”.

Who is it for?

“Anyone who takes the initiative to take care of their skin, both for a female and male audience, is ageless, for those who do not have a skincare ritual and with this book they could learn”.

What is your beauty routine?

“I have a very minimalist routine, I am a person who saves a lot of time in his routine, I like to apply a good cleanser, quite gentle on the skin, mostly without fragrance. During the day I use antioxidants, a cream and a sunscreen, in four steps I do my routine and make sure my skin is healthy, and at night I include a make-up remover balm, my cleanser, some essence to hydrate my skin, and of course , you can not miss my retinol and my cream to hydrate the skin ”.

What would you recommend to people in general for skin care?

“Understand that it is a habit and just as you brush your teeth and wash your hair, you have to do your routine every day to achieve long-term success, not only aesthetically, but also on a health level, I recommend a good cleanser, a cream, a sunscreen and sunscreen every day. It is important to go to the dermatologist, it has to be something key in this whole process of starting to take care of the skin ”.

Something you also mention for skin care is diet, how does it influence?

“I wanted to include a chapter on nutrition in the book, because nutrition is very important to me in this whole issue of skin care, and in our daily lives. I did that chapter together with a nutritionist, Dr. Estefani, who was my nutritionist for a long time and together we created a chapter where we did not demonize any food, but rather give people tools, because depending on their skin type, they can consume one that another product, and apart from that, having a healthy life will help in all areas, just like I always recommend that you exercise to oxygenate yourself, for your mind, all of that adds up at the end of the day”.

Anything else you want to add from the book?

“I have a wonderful book, I think it will help you a lot to get started in this world and to fall in love with skin care, it is easy to read, fun, dynamic and with a unique, different, fresh design, you can find stickers inside of the. I think the most beautiful thing about this book is that it will open the way for the reader to want to investigate and learn more about this beautiful world”.

After promoting this book, what are your next plans?

“Continue carrying this message of skin care, of self-love, letting people know that the important thing is to take care of ourselves and love each other, keep communicating, what I am passionate about, what I love and what I want to continue doing".
