E!: Did you learn any beauty hacks from Dancing With the Stars?
XG: One thing I never knew was how much of a difference it made to put on a liquid blush and a powder blush over it. I had never really realized that was a thing until I was there.
Ever since then, when I do my own makeup, I do that now. It just really makes your cheeks prominent and gives them dimension, especially if they're two different shades of blush.

E!: Tell me about the CeraVe Cleanse Like A Derm campaign.
XG: I love that the entire tone of the campaign was a soap opera. We really leaned into it to talk about cleansing habits and the drama with the Cleansington family.
E!: The campaign was very entertaining, but also informative with some good skincare reminders.
XG: The campaign was really fun and we are sharing a really important message at the same time. It's important to actually take care of your skin. If you want clear skin, you better not use bar soap.
