Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your skincare and haircare routine.
Ms. Marisol Nichols:
Wow, well, thank you.
For my skin, I use coconut oil to remove all make-up. I wipe it off and then clean my face again with hot water and a wash cloth to remove any leftover residue. Nothing works better and it doesn’t sting my eyes. If I use something else, I like Bioderma Sensible make up remover.
I recently found this amazing, and I mean that, anti-aging serum and lotion in Canada called Benir Beauty. Nothing like seeing yourself on-camera to mobilizing you to find good products.. Lol. So I have been using Benir products for the last 6 months and my makeup artist on the show has really commented in the change in my skin. I also love Skin Ceuticals as well, especially their Vitamin C and E for skin discoloration and all around protection.
Now, I swear by facials and Laser Genesis. My facialist of 15 years is Svetlana of Svetlana Care For Skin. She is hands down the best! And I’ve gone to more expensive, uber famous facial places and no one compares. She is the only person who can thoroughly clean my skin and afterwards my skin is glowing and I don’t feel like I have to put on a stitch of makeup. My skin is even colored, clean and glowing. I haven’t found that anywhere else, a good facial is everything.
The second, the secret of the universe for great skin…is Laser Genesis. I swear by this! It’s so good! I discovered it at Kate Sommerville in LA, in 2013 and I’ve never looked back. I swear my skin is in better condition now then back then. In Canada I found a place, Beauty Works that does it as well and for less money (yay) and I’ve sent most of my cast there for Laser Genesis. It is my all around, go-to secret weapon. 😉
I’ve been blessed with dark hair. I’ve found with being a brunette, as long as I take care of my hair it will reflect light and be shiny. For me, less is more. Products would build up on my hair I found less shine, bounce, etc. The less I used the better my hair responded. I’m not a once a week wash your hair girl. I find I have to wash every other day, sometimes I can get away with two days in between but overall if I use a good shampoo and keep my scalp and hair clean the better my hair does. I have thick hair as well so I always use a good deep conditioner from the middle of my hair down to my ends. Coconut oil on my hair overnight works wonders! As well as Leonor Greyl, Huile de Leonor Greyl treatment. It repairs instead of just coating the hair with another something…
I could go on with more hair and skin routine and products I love I think with all the answers above I could write my own blog. 😉
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your current Top 5 Fashion Must-Haves.
Ms. Marisol Nichols:
- Frame jeans. Man, where did these come from? Love. I have them in high rise, midrise, flare and skinny.
- A good tailored black blazer..currently just bought one from Theory that goes from casual to dress up effortlessly.
- A great pair of heels. Pour La Victorie has some of the best and they’re not only sexy but also comfortable..which let’s face it, is everything.
- Pointy flats. I recently purchased three different pairs at Zara. One suede sling back, one leather ballet with a criss cross ankle and a V-cut leather slide. Thank you Zara. I live in these…
- A great bag. I have a Givenchy bag that I wear often when I’m out and about. It’s black, stylish and classic and goes with everything.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are best known for your role in the sixth season of 24 as Special Agent Nadia Yassir. How was your experience doing this challenging role?
Ms. Marisol Nichols:
Ah…I loved that role. Nadia was a pleasure to play. I joined in Season 6, right after they won the Golden Globe. It was like stepping on the most successful train and just riding. Working with Jon Cassar and Kiefer was truly, a dream. I learned a lot on that set about not over acting or pushing a moment but rather letting the moment affect you and trusting that the camera will pick it up. My performances after that became more real and grounded and I trusted myself more. I’m always growing as an artist and striving to be better and better. I’ve learned the most by the different directors and actors I’ve worked with and sets I’ve been on over the years. 24 was definitely not only a highlight career wise, but also a turning point for me as an actress.
