1. She Uses Face Masks

Nu has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite products with NYMag. Nu says that she likes to use face masks, specifically Dr. Jart Rubber Masks. “A friend posted about these masks on Instagram a couple years ago, and I thought they looked really cool,” she says. “I honestly bought one for the aesthetic at first, but it turned out to be the most incredible mask treatment, and I use them after I wear a lot of makeup or when my skin needs a little refresh. If I’m working a lot, I’ll do a mask maybe once a week. Otherwise, I’ll do it every other week.”

2. She Uses Detox Oil

Nu tells NYMag that she likes to use Caudalie VineActiv Overnight Detox Oil on her skin. In particular, she uses it for acne. “Back in 2019, I was working for a makeup client, and it really started to take a toll on my skin. I went to Sephora to get some higher-end skin care, and the employees recommended this oil. I now use it any time I get acne flare-ups. It always works. I don’t use it every day, just when I’m working a lot or need to give my skin a little extra love. If I’m breaking out, I see such a big difference when I incorporate it into my routine.”

3. She Wants To Represent Others

Nu opened up about her career to Vogue. She says that she wants to represent different bodies in the fashion industry. “There are definitely people who are misrepresented or underrepresented still,” she starts. “But I also think that mid-size people really deserve representation. And I think that’s the category I started out under. I want to fight for all people to be represented, because I know that not seeing your body type can make you feel really isolated.”

4. She’s All About Body Positivity

Nu tells Vogue that she is all about body positivity and finding comfort in herself. She also shared some of her tips for doing this in the interview. “I think understanding societal constructs and pressures and how it’s affected us as a society is helpful. As women… all it takes is something we read and we’re under its spell again. What’s helped me is being aware that I’m falling into that trap – the illusion isn’t real. For generations we lived unconsciously in these traps and we were not aware of how, psychologically, it affected us and made our bodies unwell. Physically feeling the stress in our bodies when we think about summer coming up is not good, so catch yourself in the cycle and have these conversations on social media.”

5. She Walks

Nu tells Vogue that she likes to walk. She says that this not only helps her stay in shape, but it helps with her mind. “My self-care routine right now involves going on walks. I used to dread exercise, especially because it’s attached to all this trigger weight loss stuff, but now it’s a gratitude thing for me. I’m grateful to be able to move my legs and arms and take deep breaths without any pain, and to just appreciate the mobility in my body and give it a treat, like you would a dog!”
