Doja revealed some of her favorite skincare products to Bustle. She revealed that her favorite cleansing products is the Camellia Cleansing Oil from Tatcha. “If I could pick only one thing, it would be this cleansing oil. It gets rid of makeup like no other.

To help with acne, Doja makes sure to exfoliate her skin. However, she chooses a product that doesn’t damage her skin as well. She tells Bustle that her favorite exfoliating product is Tatcha’s Rice Polish. “You could use anything and have this as your exfoliator. It's super gentle; it's not tearing your face up like a lot of these exfoliators do. It's very, very effective. I struggled with acne as a kid, and this absolutely changed my life.”

4. She Doesn’t Stress Over Social Media

Social media is a big part of today’s society. However, Doja tells Billboard that she doesn’t really use it all that much. “I don’t like the idea of having to juggle social media, which already sucks as it is. Not to say it hasn’t helped me so f–king much, but the way I feel about Instagram is: I go on, look at pictures of makeup and fashion and cats, and that’s pretty much it.”

5. She’s Positive

In a piece for Interview Magazine, Doja revealed that she has stopped doing certain things as her fame has risen. She says that she used to go on social media and make fun of people, but stopped. She says that she now wants to be a positive presence online. “I love going in on people, but I stopped because with a big platform, you don’t want to hurt anybody. You have power and you’re looked at a certain way, and if you go in on people and shit, it doesn’t help you or them, and they can tear you down more than you can tear them down.”

Doja Cat, the rapper, singer, and songwriter, likes to live on the edge, and she did so yesterday—cooking bacon while wearing a bathing suit! During an Instagram live, the “Say So” talent prepared to fry up some bacon and mushrooms in a two piece before changing into a dress. It’s all in keeping with her Internet presence: absurd but bold, compelling and beautifully honest. How does she stay so fit, and what’s her take on life these days?

In a tweet, Doja told her followers some of her go-to healthy foods. The rapper makes sure to eat a lot of protein and veggies. She wrote, “I eat two eggs and spinach tortilla w caramelized onions pepper jack cheese and hot sauce and roll it up. I also eat a lot of seaweed.” “Largely because of their satiating power, eggs have been linked with fat loss. An International Journal of Obesity study on this produced some remarkable results: Over an eight-week period, people ate a breakfast of either two eggs or a bagel, which contained the same amount of calories. The egg group lost 65% more body weight, 16% more body fat, experienced a 61% greater reduction in BMI, and saw a 34% greater reduction in waist circumference!” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

2. She’s A Dancer

Doja tells Byrdie that she prefers to keep her hair short, since she thinks it’s easier to take care of. “I don’t like to have 50 inches of hair, to be honest with you. I don’t know how to sleep with it...you have to roll it up and put it away and I don’t feel like doing that. So really short, above the neck hair—it’s really easy to maintain.”

4. She Has Had Struggles With Body Dysmorphia

“Growing up, I definitely had body dysmorphia. Without a doubt. And I’ve had it since,” Doja told ME Cosmo in their Winter Issue cover story. “It started in my teens, which I think is where it starts for a lot of people. I started really growing and I never really thought I looked good in a lot of the stuff I wore.” She added: “I feel like that song [Juicy] was therapeutic for me. I kind of made it for myself – well, the meaning behind it, at least. I was kind of doing it for my own happiness and I feel like other people can definitely pull some joy from that, too. Now, I just try to focus on eating well, but I definitely still struggle with body dysmorphia a bit now. But I think that’s to be completely expected when there’s all these phones in your face, right?”

5. She Just Wants to Make Music

“I mean [I want to] make music like willy nilly, like just have fun and just jam and make some,” stuff,” she said on a recent Instagram Live. “I haven’t done that in maybe five years, feels like,” she said. “I’m doing all this” stuff “that I don’t…wanna do. I don’t wanna take…pictures. Like, yes…planning a photoshoot is very fun. Capturing a concept, capturing a visual idea, like something like that, I love fashion, I do. I really do. I love to dress up, I love all that” stuff. “Do I wanna do that” stuff “because I have to? No! No, I don’t. But I feel pressured to do” stuff “like that. “I don’t…wanna do that.
