She Believes in the Power of Positive Thinking
Odeya believes in the power of positive thinking. "I really like Louise Hay. I love her books and her audio," she told Byrdie. "Sometimes when I wake up in the morning and I'm stressed, I need just to be reminded of how you control your own thoughts and how you can take this thought and shift it into a positive place. So yeah, I love Louise Hay. She's really helped me. And really just watching what you're saying to yourself, because so quickly you can wind up in a really negative place out of nowhere and your thoughts just spiral. So when bad thoughts come up, I try as much as I can to cancel them out with something positive or to shift my focus to something else, because the more I do it the more I know it'll be a habit for me."
She Battled Acne
Odeya discussed her skin woes with Refinery 29. "I struggled with acne for a long time. I had pimples here and there growing up, but at 20 years old, I developed a face full of acne. When you're working and constantly having to be on camera, it can bring you down because a part of you wants to cover it up — but the more makeup you put on, the worse you're making it," she said. "My acne started calming down last year, but I still get blemishes. It's about looking in the mirror and not focusing on it. Repeating the affirmation that I have clear skin has helped me. With acne, you think everybody is looking at it, but it's not as big of a deal as you're making it in your head."
She Is Comfortable with Her Imperfections
When asked by Schon if she was like her Let It Snow character, Addie, in real life, she said no. "My character is completely different from me. She is extremely paranoid when it comes to her relationship, and is totally costumed with maintaining a perfect image. I'm much more comfortable with my imperfections and actually enjoy flaunting them as a way to relieve myself and others comedically. Addie likes to follow, and I like to lead."
She Prefers Hot Weather and the Beach
You can often find Odeya on a beach in the warm sun. "I do better in the heat, let's just say that! I grew up in a very, very hot climate. I'm just better in the heat, I get cold super easily," she told Byrdie.
She Keeps Her Skincare Simple
On her quest to battle acne, Odeya learned what works and what doesn't. "I was using so many different random things that I'd read about—every person you meet when you have acne recommends something, and that doesn't mean it's right for you," she told Byrdie. "My skin is much better now. I use Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen every day, and I use a hyaluronic acid from the Ordinary, and I also use a .5 retinol at night—that made the biggest change in my skin, I think. So now I've found what's right for me, but I wish I'd found it back then."
