A Telenovela Twist on Skincare

Imagine waking up to find your trusted skincare routine completely overhauled. This is the premise of Xochitl Gomez's latest venture with CeraVe, a playful campaign titled "Cleanse Like a Derm – a CeraVe Soap Opera." The actress, celebrated for her role as America Chavez in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and her triumph on "Dancing with the Stars," finds herself embroiled in a soap opera of her own. Alongside board-certified dermatologist and social media star Dustin Portela, Gomez confronts an imposter dermatologist to rescue the day's skincare routines.

Gomez's Dream Role

For Gomez, starring in a telenovela-style campaign was a dream come true, tapping into her childhood love for the genre. The actress, a long-time user of CeraVe products, embraced the dramatic flair of the campaign, highlighting the importance of skincare with a touch of humor and passion. "We just had so much fun leaning into the drama of bad skin and bad cleansing habits," Gomez shared.

The Skin-care Product Trap

Gomez opened up about the all-too-relatable cycle of being tempted by new skincare products, only to return to trusted staples like CeraVe after adverse reactions. This cycle of trial and error, she admits, is a lesson in sticking with what works for your skin. "At this point, I should know my lesson to always just stick with what you know; and what you know, you can trust," she advises.

Lessons from Mom and [TAG3] Routines

Gomez credits her mother for instilling a minimalist yet effective approach to skincare, emphasizing the importance of knowing and trusting what works. Beyond skincare, Gomez cherishes her self-care routines, which include spending quality time with friends and family and embracing moments of laughter to navigate the stresses of daily life and her rising fame.

Staying Grounded in the Spotlight

As her star continues to rise, Gomez values the presence of long-time friends who keep her grounded. These friends, who knew her before her fame, play crucial roles in her life, from offering laughter to keeping her focused on her work. It's clear that Gomez is determined to keep her life drama-free, apart from the occasional on-screen telenovela adventure.

In her latest campaign with CeraVe, Xochitl Gomez not only entertains but also underscores the importance of a trusted skincare routine, all while staying true to her roots and values.
