I’m excited to have everybody get into the Christmas spirit with it.
Superb. Proper now, in New York at the least, the vacation events are in full impact.
Sarah: Proper…it’s very complicated, particularly as a result of I’m from Canada—Christmas stuff doesn’t actually begin till December for us. I’ve lived in Los Angeles now for greater than 10 years, and it nonetheless catches me off guard each time Thanksgiving hits. Instantly, it’s like lights up, bushes up, decorations up, every thing simply goes bananas after that weekend. It’s like, “Oh, sure, it’s lastly December.” It at all times sneaks up on me.
Time most definitely flies. Are you the kind of individual that relaxes by the tip of the yr or do you have got lots occurring in December?
Sarah: It actually relies upon. Final yr, once we have been taking pictures Surreal Property, we have been taking pictures proper up till the 18th, nineteenth, twentieth of December. Typically, it feels extra hectic than I’d prefer to really feel. This yr, we weren’t taking pictures, so now I’ve a bit of little bit of time to breathe, time to spend with my husband and my son, prepare for the season, and never simply be dwelling in chaos, which it felt just like the previous two years.
On to the sweetness questions: Is there something that you’ve got used perpetually or something that you simply simply found just lately that you simply actually like?
Sarah: Sure. Oh gosh, the listing is infinite. In relation to skincare and wonder…the merchandise on the market are really infinite. I’m such an enormous fan of Joanna Vargas. She actually helped me strip down my regime. I believe I used to be utilizing a lot of issues at one time and he or she simply pared every thing down, moisturizers, serum, face wash. I discovered that the much less product I have a tendency to make use of the higher.
I really like Joanna and I’m additionally an enormous fan of SkinCeuticals. I really like their stuff.
Not too long ago, I simply purchased a serum from CLEARSTEM. That’s my new I discovery and I’m actually, actually loving that as effectively. I have a tendency to stay to previous classics, however I’ve been branching out a bit of bit extra. I really like CLEARSTEM. I’ve additionally been attempting some Caudalie lotions, which I really like as effectively. Hear, I could possibly be bought on actually something, so strolling right into a CVS or a Sephora could be very harmful for me.
You possibly can’t go incorrect with SkinCeuticals. They’ve one of the best Vitamin C serum. Are you able to share something you used on “Schitt’s Creek?”
Sarah: Gosh, it was so way back and I’m attempting to recollect! However for foundations and stuff we have been utilizing Armani’s Luminous Silk ($69), which I really like! We additionally used Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream ($100) on Surreal Property, which was nice as effectively. We shot that in Newfoundland, and it was extremely chilly! We additionally used a ton of Susanne Kaufmann.
Her line is gorgeous.
Sarah: Oh my gosh, it’s so good.
It’s very nice. Strive her physique merchandise—they’re a number of the greatest.

My final query: Once you moved from Canada to Los Angeles, what did you discover was the most important distinction, beauty-wise, aging-wise, simply anything-wise that was shocking?
Sarah: Oh, man…that’s powerful. In L.A., magnificence and skincare and all of that, feels prefer it’s on the forefront of ladies’s minds—particularly within the leisure business. Everyone seems to be searching for the magic.
That was the most important factor that I seen after I first bought right here…however I believe it’s even greater now, with social media, Instagram and TikTok. Skincare is actually blowing up! Once I communicate with a few of my associates who’ve tweens—youngsters who’re 10, 11—their entire Christmas listing is simply skincare. It’s so unusual. I suppose it’s beginning to grow to be extra common.
Going again to the unique query, I believe it’s vital to simply take actually excellent care of your pores and skin—put on sunscreen!
