The 36-year-old supermodel has a thorough care process to keep her skin healthy and beautiful for many years. According to Glamor , Ashley often goes to the salon for facial acupuncture. "I've never had botox, so I'm comfortable going to acupuncture. This helps the skin to be extremely firm and the neck area to relax. When taking care of the skin, people often forget the neck area," she said.

At first, she went to see acupuncturist Sandra Landon 1-2 times a week. After 10 treatments, she maintains once every 4-8 weeks. According to Women's Health , facial acupuncture is a method to help skin look younger, smoother and healthier. The doctor inserted 40-70 painless micro needles into the skin of her face. These holes stimulate the body's lymphatic and circulatory systems, which deliver nutrients and oxygen to skin cells. As a result, the skin is even-toned and brighter. Small wounds also stimulate collagen production, which improves elasticity, reduces wrinkles on the face.

Besides acupuncture, Ashley uses many home care products. According to Harper's Bazaar , she applies 14 layers of the product at night before going to bed. "When I was almost 30 years old, I started looking for intensive skin care products, which showed quick results. I wanted my skin to be moisturized and protected from environmental damage."

After a long busy day with work and taking care of three children, the beauty started the cleansing and skin care cycle with Bioderma makeup remover. She loves Avya cleanser because of its jelly-like texture, gentle cleansing, and non-abrasive. After exfoliating and wiping with rose water, she uses the hypotonic balancing spray of Kristina Holey + Marie Veronique, which helps to soothe the skin and avoid irritation, suitable for dry combination skin.

Ashley uses two serums including the Skin Ceuticals CE Feluric serum to help protect skin from atmospheric aging, reduce fine lines, and restore firmness and radiance. The second is Isdin Melatonik to treat dark spots.

To enhance beauty and nutrient penetration, Ashley uses a red light therapy mask by Dr. Dennis Gross. The beauty said the product is good for the lymphatic system and helps reduce puffiness in the morning, which she uses 2-3 times a week.

Ashley is very focused on moisturizer, applying multiple layers at a time. After the serum, the model applied various creams, including Kiehl's made with cocoa butter and sesame seed oil, Mario Badescu anti-pigmentation and darkening, Environ and Weleda creams. For the eye area, she applied Retrouvé's cream. At the end of the beauty routine, she applied Aquaphor lip balm.

In the morning when she wakes up, the beauty continues to perform a beauty procedure with many other products. She uses a brightening vitamin C serum, Environ Youth EssentiA Defense moisturizer and a hyaluronic acid product. After that, Ashley took out the jade stone roller from the refrigerator and started massaging her face. This helps the products penetrate deep into the skin, reducing wrinkles, making the skin firm, blood circulation, increasing elasticity and slimming the face. If she had to go out, Ashley would apply Supergoop sunscreen for her body and Dermophysiologique for her face.
