Rae tells Allure that she makes sure to keep her skin hydrated and moisturized. "I moisturize a lot, all over because, again, I'm a very dry person in general and I just find that as long as I'm moisturizing my skin, it helps the glow," she says. Rae also revealed her go-to moisturizing product. "I use Dr. Sturm Products, like the hyaluronic serum. That has worked wonders."
