Recently elected Speaker of the House Isaiah Osei (ORU) is not only a dedicated member of Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature, but also a fashion connoisseur. He keeps his outfits pristine and never disappoints, however, there is yet another level to his sophistication to be unpacked; his skincare routine.
In a sit down interview, Osei (ORU) discussed what he does to always have fresh healthy looking skin. He shared having combination skin, and using a cream cleanser to meet the needs of his nuanced skin type.
He added that he uses an exfoliant from The Ordinary and hyaluronic acid. To make sure that his forehead doesn’t break out, he puts his hair in a bonnet to make sure his hair doesn’t rub against his skin at night. He added that he swaps out his pillow case often and keeps it simple.
For delegates who would like to implement Isaiah’s incredible skin-altering advice:
- Uses cream cleanser as it is gentle and sensitive on the skin
- Use clean towels on your face
- Use glycolic acid to exfoliate and tone
- Vanicream moisturizer
“I do things to make sure that my skin isn’t coming into contact with bacteria, and when I shave, I shave in a certain way. I use a special toner for twenty dollars….but it works magic,” said Osei (ORU).
If you follow his wise advice you too can have extraordinary healthy looking skin.
O.I.L. regularly has the infamous runway walk towards the end of session, and keeping the skin fresh for this occasion is always important to “strike a pose” in the words of Madonna.
Osei has been referenced several times by both Senate and House delegates as particularly stylish, and there’s no doubt the skincare routine plays a part. While many may think that a skincare routine has nothing to do with legislation, in reality it has everything to do with it; putting your best face forward helps you bring your best self to the important rooms where the important work of legislation can unfold.
