Jewellianna Palencia, a digital creator with roots in Guatemala, describes her relationship with beauty as characterized by taking care of herself and feeling comfortable in her own skin. For Palencia, both physical and mental components are involved in making her feel beautiful. Going to the gym and doing her skin-care routine is important, but so are therapy and being mindful of how she treats herself.
Her day-to-day makeup style is minimal and virtually never changes, but she likes to go big and bold for her hair, switching it up often to reflect her mood. "Sometimes I will wear a voluminous wash and go, and other times I'll do a sleek low bun with my baby hair being the spotlight," she says.
Palencia is Latina on her dad's side. Her favorite beauty tip from her mom, though, is truly a fantastic one: apply lotion after every shower, with the key factor being applying the lotion while the skin is still damp. "My mom has the most beautiful skin and taught me the importance of staying moisturized," she says.
