Jordan Chiles Swears By Those $13 Acne Patches, Too
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. She's a two-time Olympian, Miami Swim Week model, bestselling author — and now, Jordan Chiles is adding beauty ambassador to her already impressive list of accomplishments. The 24-year-old gymnast is the new face of Hero Cosmetics, the viral skincare brand best known for its Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers. Chiles, who was part of the gold-medal winning women's gymnastics team at the 2024 Summer Olympics, has been open about her skin journey, including hyperpigmentation, texture, and breakouts. Chiles is buzzing with energy when we sit down over Zoom to chat about the new partnership. 'People always ask me, 'What do you do for your skincare?' So I was really happy Hero wanted me to be one of their ambassadors,' she exclusively tells Refinery29. 'Whether it's dark spots or a pimple that's coming up and I want it gone, I've always loved Mighty Patch.' In addition to her out-of-this-world strength, artistry, and athleticism, Chiles has also authentically shown up as herself via her competition glam; strong brows, fluttery lashes, glowy skin, and medal-worthy nail art all figured heavily in her most epic Olympic moments. As she tells me, beauty has always been something she's passionate about. 'My older sister, who is my hair and makeup artist, definitely gave me a perspective of understanding that glam is something to enjoy, have fun with, and be creative,' she says. Chiles swears by a less-is-more approach to keeping her sensitive skin looking and feeling its best. 'A majority of the time, I only use a good cleanser, an exfoliator, and then a nice, silky moisturizer,' she says. 'I keep it very simple, but make sure everything is hydrated and my skin looks good and glowy.' When it comes to favorite products, Chiles lights up talking about being 'down bad' (same, girl) for Hero. 'I have Mighty Patches in every bag, my car, my room, and probably in five different bathrooms,' she says. Her favorites? 'Literally all of them, but since I go to practice a lot, [I love] the invisible ones and the dark spot ones with the prickly points.' We also bonded over a shared underrated Hero fave: the Pore Purity Cleansing Clay Mask, made with glacial sea clay and sea kelp bio-ferment to decongest skin. 'It makes my face so soft — I love it,' Chiles says. 'I've been recently using it two to three times a week to get my pores in the right way and all that stuff.' For Chiles, this partnership — which includes brand campaigns, social content, and live events — is anything but skin deep. 'I have [acne] scars here and there, but now I'm finally at a point where I'm positive with myself and my skin,' she says. 'Literally, it took me 22 years to finally be like, look, Jordan, you're a gorgeous girl. You have beautiful skin. Embrace that.'

Bethenny Frankel responded to comments about her physique after walking the runway during Miami Swim Week "I look like a train wreck most of the time," she said in a video shared to Instagram Frankel also noted that she has a "good relationship with food" after being "fixated and obsessed" in her early 30sBethenny Frankel is responding to comments about her recent modeling moment. The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 54, took to Instagram to address the discourse around her appearance at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's Swim Week 2025 runway show in Miami. On the catwalk on Saturday, May 31, Frankel showed off her toned physique in a variety of sexy swim looks, from cheeky bikinis to a leopard-print one-piece. "So I guess we have to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair," the star said in a video shared on Monday, June 2. In the clip, Frankel sports a black one-piece swimsuit with cutout details. "Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior," she continued, adding that there was "a lot of glam, a lot of contouring and a lot of lighting." Frankel added that she's "never been vain," and that in her normal life, she doesn't wear makeup and prefers "to stay home." "I look like a train wreck most of the time," she said. "That's me. That's what I want." The former RHONY star also claimed she doesn't do crash diets or have a workout routine but rather has a "good relationship with food and exercise," though "it wasn't always that way." She recalled being 25 pounds heavier in her early 30s due to being "fixated and obsessed" and stuck in a loop of binging and restricting. "My body is natural," she later noted. "I don't do weights. And the reason my body is natural is because the exercise I do and have always done for my body is natural. I'll go months without exercise and definitely days without doing anything but I always come back to it." Frankel concluded the video by saying, "I want you to allow yourselves to have, but not beat yourselves up when you do indulge. And I want you to have a good relationship with food and exercise and that doesn't mean being screamed at in a gym or beating yourself up and telling yourself that you have to kill yourself. You don't. It's healthier to just be healthy." ! Frankel's runway appearance comes after she announced her permanent move to Florida last month. The star made several posts reflecting on the modeling experience on Instagram — including a photo and video dump featuring fellow SI Swimsuit runway models Remi Bader and Stassi miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

The star published her first book, Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself From a Lifetime of Dieting, in March 2009.

Three days after her jaw-dropping appearance at the Sports Illustrated show at the W South Beach Saturday night, Frankel was back in her element — a bathing suit. On Tuesday morning, the 54-year-old Skinnygirl founder posted an Instagram video in her kitchen mixing up a smoothie in a blender. The NSFW hot-girl anthem she was dancing to is 'Ran Out,' by the City Girls' JT. We can't reprint the lyrics here, but they involve shaking one's, um, rear end — which she did, while rocking a zebra print one piece and crop top. Hashtags included #supermodel. #imthatb and #cuzisayso. Frankel wasn't done riding the wave. A few hours later, the onetime 'Real Housewives' star sent a shout-out to both her fans as well as (ageist) haters.
