Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your haircare and skincare routine.
Ms. Tracey Birdsall:
Thank you! I think skincare and hair care start on the inside, so what you eat has a lot to do with it. I drink more than the legal limit of water each day to begin with. I use Etiology Skin Care because it’s results oriented medical strength products that are gentle on the skin. They also have products that are to “feed” the skin, as it is the largest organ of the body (www.etiologyskin.com). I’ll gently cleanse my face at night to remove makeup and dirt, but I only use cold water in the morning – not cleanser. I absolutely love to do my hair (it’s very meditational for me), but I also try to think of feeding my hair. I use gentle products without sulfates, a hair mask once a week, and I wipe my extra moisturizer in my hair to get it off my palms. If it seems dry or like it needs nourishing after going in the ocean or shooting in the desert, I’ll rub oils in it – coconut, argon, I’ll even use castor oil for flyway’s as it’s so good for the hair and so heavy (even the toughest flyaway doesn’t stand a chance.) Sometimes I’ll flat iron it on a light setting after putting the oil in it, just to get it deep in the shaft of the hair.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your future roles in the coming year.
Ms. Tracey Birdsall:
The Time War, an epic time travel film, is currently in post-production as of yesterday! I’ve personally shot about 200 days (seriously) on this film, so I’m very excited about it. Due to time travel, there are many versions of my character in the film so it’s definitely been the most complicated project I’ve ever been in – so very rewarding. Who’s Jenna…?, a comedy feature I shot on the East Coast opposite Bill Sorvino is also expecting it’s release date very soon…
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What are your tips for working out while on outdoor shoots?
Ms. Tracey Birdsall:
Most of the time when I’m doing outdoor shoots, it’s very physical in nature – a workout on it’s own. I often see travel days and days where you can’t fit a workout in as my “off” days to give my body a rest. I never plan “off” days or “rest” days, I just let them happen naturally and give my body a chance to repair itself.
