Face Forward - I always take my makeup off with <i>Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil</i>. It keeps your skin hydrated, which I like because I have dry skin. At nighttime, I use the <i>Mario Badescu Orange Cleansing Soap</i>. For moisturizer, I use <i>Crème de la Mer</i>. I can also use <i>Cetaphil</i>. You can get it at Rite Aid and it’s super-cheap. It’s just as good.

Luscious Locks - For my at-home care, I use &lt;i&gt;Kerastase&lt;/i&gt; products. To me, they’re the best to keep your hair hydrated.

Lay It Down - I’m really not a fan of hairsprays, but I do have fly-aways. My hair is curly and sometimes you have to keep it under control.

Try This - I use a &lt;i&gt;Tancho Tique Stick&lt;/i&gt; scented with vegetable lavender. It’s kind of like a wax, but you don’t have to use a lot of it. You just lay it on top of your fly-aways. When you brush your hair out, it never leaves it oily and it doesn’t look dirty.

Keep It Simple - Once a week, when I’m home, I go to the Korean bathhouse and grab a cheap body scrub. Their scrubs make you feel like you’ve taken off like three layers of skin! I don’t really like a lot of lotions because I don’t like the scents competing with my perfume.

Soothe Your Worries - I like a nice milk or salt bath after a long day. Light some candles and put a little music on. It makes your skin look better when you actually allow it to come down from the hard, long day.

Day Diva - During the day time, under my eyes, I use &lt;i&gt;Murad Essential-C Eye Cream&lt;/i&gt; with SPF 15. I don’t use any products with SPF in it at night because it clogs your pores. People like to protect their skin but sometimes they’re over-protecting.

Dania's Go-To - To be honest, I just try to drink a lot of water. That’s my go-to beauty product. I didn’t grow up with a lot of money and my mom didn’t really believe in a lot of face washes, so she would just make us wash our faces with water. My mom and dad have great skin, so I ended up with great skin!

Cut the Crap - A lot of people don’t give enough credit to just drinking water. You actually retain a lot of water when you drink sodas and sugars. The easiest thing to tell people to do is to cut down on the sugar and try to eat more meals a day in smaller portions. If you have stairs in your house, go up and down those stairs for 30 minutes.

Pretty Wings - A lot of people ask me about my arms because they’re really cut. I grew up in the Dominican Republic, so I used to climb trees. I was very active, I was a tomboy. With my arms, I just have really good muscle memory.

Buff Babe - I like to switch up my regimen because I feel like that’s the only way for someone to really stay fit. Exercising gets a bit boring. I try to do some weight training for three months - where I’m doing a lot of squats. For another part of the year, I’ll just do stuff outdoors. I’m lucky that I live in L.A., so I do a lot of hiking and rollerblading.

Sports Authority - I’m an athlete and I played volleyball in college for four years. What’s been keeping me in shape now is that I’ve been doing this movie in New York where I play a bike messenger, so I’ve been bike training.

Total Workout - That’s the one exercise where I didn’t feel like I needed to do anything else. It works out all of your muscles and you’re doing cardio. If you have a chance, get a single gear bike and work yourself up to be able to do more and more. It’s also fun because it’s bike riding! Go to a place that has a bike path.
