Bailey opened up about her acting career to Variety. She says that she has taken things from each role she has played. “I find myself learning things from these characters and trying to adopt them and keep them with me as I go about my life,” Bailey says. “It’s like the universe is trying to give these themes to me, like ‘Here, do it! We’re putting it in through the characters.’”
2. She Wants To Inspire Others

Bailey wants to inspire a lot of people, especially young girls. She says to Variety that she hopes her role in The Little Mermaid will do that. “I want the little girl in me and the little girls just like me who are watching to know that they’re special, and that they should be a princess in every single way,” Bailey says. “There’s no reason that they shouldn’t be. That reassurance was something that I needed.”
3. She’s Consistent With Skincare
Bailey and her sister are all about skincare. They opened up about their process and favorite products to People. Bailey says that she has learned to be consistent when it comes to skincare. "I think around four or five years ago I was like, 'OK, I have to be consistent with my skin always in order for it to behave and be nice to me.” Bailey says that she loves Neutrogena products for this reason.
4. She Uses Sunscreen
Bailey opened up about her favorite skincare products and approaches to Harper’s Bazaar. She says that sunscreen is one of her go-to products. “I have learned that we do need protection from the sun. For years, I was in denial about it.” Bailey says that she likes to use an invisible sunscreen, so no one can see any streaks of it on her. “What I love about that one is that it disappears right into my skin, I don’t have to worry about a white cast, and I can put makeup over it.”
5. She Keeps Her Skincare Simple
Bailey tells Harper’s Bazaar that she has learned to keep her skincare simple. “When I was younger and we were on tour, I would do way too much on my skin especially when I would have breakouts,” she says. “I would get anxious like, ‘I need to get this off my face now! Let me do a mask here, let me do a scrub here.’... My skin is being nicer to me, and I keep it simple and I’m good.”
