I used to be easily influenced into trying absolutely everything I saw on social media on my skin.

But simple is better, Smith says.
I live by the motto protect your peace.
I think people are just really excited to get on the ground running for the Olympics, Smith said.
SELF caught up with Smith to learn the rituals that help her decompress and recharge each day.
The first thing I do is foam roll.
I do my full body and legs, focusing on whatever is feeling tight.
Sometimes I use theNormatec boots.
My shower routine helps me avoid the breakouts that are unfortunately part of the job.
My two must-haves in the shower are thePerfector Salicylic Acid Body Washand an African exfoliating net sponge.
I use the body wash because obviously, I sweat a lot at my job.
Pores on my back and chest get clogged, and that body wash keeps my skin clear.
It works the best for me.
For the last six months, Ive used a hair-care brand calledSeen.
I was having breakouts around my hairline from the hair products I was using.
I pull my hair back for training, and when I sweat, the product drips onto my face.
The ones I used to use would cause me to break out.
Seen has completely gotten rid of breakouts for me.
My fave body butter isDelicia Drench by Sol de Janeiro.
Its the best smell ever.
I love all things that smell like vanilla, and this just smells so good.
Its thick and hydrating, and I dont have to reapply lotion for a while after I use it.
I follow that up with my all-time favorite deodorant fromDonna Karan.
Its called cashmere mist.
Then, about 30 minutes before I go to bed, Ill make some tea.
I just like the taste of it, and I also feel like it helps my skin health.
Im all about my home feeling like my sanctuary.
I venture to do all the things that make it feel relaxing and calm.
I usually have a candle lit and turn on some light jazz music or meditation sounds.
Ive also been listening to a lot of Zach Bryan.
His music is very cozy.
Then I get into my skin care routine.
Before bed, I useBioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Waterfor a pre-cleanse.
Its simple and makes my skin feel clean after I use it.
I put it on for about 10 minutes.
Then I use theVanicream Moisturizing Cream.
Then Ill read a book or meditate.
While Im sleeping, I listen to the pure mediation playlist on Apple music or airplane cabin noise.
