This Sunday, The Calmdown dropped a video featuring Charissa’s skincare routine. She confidently stated, “I love getting a facial, especially as you’re getting older. It just helps your skin and gives you a little pick-me-up.” Undoubtedly, who doesn’t want that chill massage and that post-facial glow? But yeah, facials can be pricey, right? Hold up, though! Charissa also shared some budget-friendly home remedies. She mentioned, “Another thing that doesn’t cost anything and is sort of an aside we’ve been talking about is to just put your phone down.” Let’s be real: Staring at your phone can be a total headache, and that’s not doing your skin any favors, honeybee!

Charissa isn’t just shining on the outside—her inner light comes from confidence and self-acceptance. But for her, it’s more than just touchdowns and highlights. Recently, she dropped some serious wisdom on her Calm Down podcast with Erin Andrews.
“Turning 40 soon,” Charissa said, radiating that vibe that age is just a number, babe. And she didn’t stop there. “What’s the best thing about being in your fabulous forties?” she playfully asked. “Laura, let me tell you. I think it’s just acceptance of self.” That’s true.
As she nears the big 40, Charissa is all about confidence—not regrets. On her Instagram story, she put it simply: “40s are the absolute best. You know yourself, you know what you don’t want, and no more bull@&$&.” That’s the kind of energy you’d expect from someone who’s spent time in press boxes and has no patience for nonsense.
To stay fit and fabulous, Charissa swears by running. “I’ve always been a runner. I always said this about running: all you need is a pair of sneakers,” she shared with New Beauty. For her, hitting the pavement isn’t just about fitness—it’s a form of escape. From flawless skin to healing hearts, Charissa knows the secret to turning pain into power—and beauty.
