Charly Jordan Shares Her Essential Skin-Care Tips for a Vegas Residency
Charly Jordan, an emerging multi-hyphenate talent, is making waves beyond her status as a social media influencer. Recently named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s “Top Creators” for 2024, the DJ, actress, and model is poised for an eventful season. This March, she will reprise her role as Sheila in the second season of the Ted series on Peacock, star alongside Delilah Belle Hamlin in a global campaign for Steve Madden, and take the stage at Mexico’s Tecate Pal Norte Festival on March 28.
In addition to her on-screen pursuits, Jordan stands out as one of the few female DJs with a Las Vegas residency at Wynn Nightlife. There, she regularly headlines alongside renowned artists like Diplo, Marshmello, Tiësto, Zedd, The Chainsmokers, and Steve Aoki, with new original music set to release in April.
As her career has evolved, Jordan reflects on the shifting nature of beauty. “When I first started working in front of the camera, beauty felt very external. It was about aesthetics and trends, but over time, my definition has changed. Beauty to me now is authenticity and energy—the way someone carries themselves, their confidence, their kindness and the life they have lived,” she shares.
Jordan elaborates further on her journey: “It took time to learn that the internet is only seeing a tiny fraction of who you are. Early on, it was easy to internalize comments or opinions, but I have realized that protecting your peace is part of the job. I focus on the people who actually know me and the things that ground me in real life. My friendships, my music, my routines and my health. The more rooted you are in your real life, the less power outside perception has over you.”
On maintaining her wellbeing, Jordan emphasizes the importance of recovery: “Sleep—whenever I can get it—is number-one. Travel and nightlife can be really taxing, so recovery is huge for me. Hydration, electrolytes, and keeping my skin-care routine simple and fragrance-free are also big priorities because my skin is extremely sensitive. I also try to move my body whenever possible, even if it is just a quick workout or a walk. Those small routines keep me feeling grounded even when everything else is moving fast.”
After a performance, Jordan prioritizes skincare as part of her routine: “The first thing I want to do is get everything off my skin. A gentle cleanse, a calming moisturizer and hydration are my go-tos. I am very careful with ingredients because I am hypoallergenic and fragrance sensitive, so I keep my routine minimal and soothing. Physically, I also try to decompress a bit before sleeping, whether that is stretching, tea or just quiet time. It helps bring my nervous system back down after the adrenaline of performing.”
She emphasizes the link between confidence and personal comfort: “It is about feeling confident and comfortable. Music is such an energetic experience, so I want to feel like myself. That usually means clean skin, simple makeup that holds up under lights and an outfit that lets me move freely behind the decks. The biggest part, though, is the mental shift. Before a show, I like to take a moment to focus, breathe and get into the right headspace so I can really connect with the crowd.”
Reflecting on her Las Vegas residency, Jordan notes, “It means a lot to me for several reasons. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, so having a residency there feels very full circle. It is the city that shaped me and where I first started dreaming about a creative career. Being able to come back and perform regularly in my hometown is really special, especially because my family and friends can actually come to the shows and experience it with me.”
She adds, “It is also meaningful on a larger level because the dance music and nightlife space has historically been very male-dominated. Having a residency is something many DJs work toward for years, so to be able to hold that space as a woman feels really rewarding. I hope it helps show younger female artists that there is room for them in this industry and that they can build careers in it too.”
Jordan stresses the significance of hydration, especially in Las Vegas: “Hydration is the biggest one. Vegas is dry, the lights are intense and the nights are long. I always have lip balm, a gentle face mist and products that help keep my skin calm. I also keep things pretty minimal because my skin reacts easily to fragrance and harsh ingredients. The goal is staying fresh and comfortable through a long set.”
Looking forward, Jordan aims to create projects that are both meaningful and sustainable. “This next chapter is really about building things that feel meaningful and sustainable long term. Music will always be a huge part of my life, but I am also focusing on wellness, travel, and projects that align with my lifestyle and values. I am excited to expand into spaces that combine creativity with purpose and give me the ability to connect with people in deeper ways.”
