InAbout Face, xoNecole gets the 411 on IGers who give us #skincaregoals on a daily. Here they break down their beauty routines on the inside and out, as well as the highly coveted products that grace their shelves and their skin.

Kimberly Ramcharitar is loved for her beauty transitions, which have us all wondering how she does them every time. At the beginning of each transition, Ramcharitar starts with a fresh face and always ends with an intricate makeup look. Transitions and beauty routines have always come naturally to her since childhood.


Ramcharitar says, “I remember playing in my mom's makeup as a child; I’ve always been fascinated by it.” That fascination continued into her teenage years when she began wearing makeup for school performances. Her performing arts teacher encouraged students to be themselves but not to overdo it with the performance makeup. “She taught me there was a time and a place to be full glam.”

Ramcharitar's love for beauty wasn’t mutual when it came to skincare. Like most teens, she viewed skincare as a chore and far from the self-care narrative that is heavily emphasized today. She says, “I had only one step in my skincare routine back then, and even that felt like a chore.” Aveeno’s Radiant Daily Moisturizer and Sunscreen combo was Ramcharitar’s go-to every morning. Ramcharitar's skin glows as she reminisces on the days when skincare was an eye-rolling thought. It is hard to believe that someone with such beautiful skin today was nearly an anti-skincare routine at a point in time.

For women, there’s a pressure to adopt self-care routines that feel like responsibility rather than pleasure. Brands constantly try to convince us that we need at least 50 steps to achieve our goals. The more we dive into ourselves, the more we block out the noise and prioritize our well-being. Ramcharitas's love for skin care developed as she learned to discover what skincare looks like. She says, “My biggest lesson in beauty and skincare: not everything works for everyone.” Since then, she’s learned to minimize her skincare routine and develop self-care practices that align her with her highest self.

“My biggest lesson in beauty and skincare: not everything works for everyone.”

Being a beauty influencer is a dream job for many, but it has consequences. Influencers can feel pressure from the industry to keep up with the latest beauty trends, sometimes taking them further away from self-acceptance. Throughout her years in the industry, Ramcharita has learned the true beauty secret: staying true to yourself is finding your anchor. “God grounds me, which helps me remain solid in the beauty space.” Ramcharita advocates for having the heart of flesh, not the heart of stone. This bible verse regularly allows her to stand in kindness, which is the truest form of beauty to her. “People can be mean to others, but you shouldn’t let that change you. Remaining in kindness will always shine through.”

Ramcharita was kind enough to share her skincare routine with us! Read to find out more.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
