This year may be glaringly Euphoria-less, but that doesn’t mean Sydney Sweeney gets the summer off. In fact, she seems to be filling the hiatus with more work than ever.
“I’ve always believed in doing what you love, and if you don’t love it, don’t do it anymore. I love what I do so much, and that’s why I keep doing it,” Sweeney tells Glamour. However, she adds, “I’m really hard on myself, and I hold myself to really high standards and expectations.”
That work ethic shows in her output: She recently starred in HBO’s Reality, and also filmed the upcoming rom-com Anyone But You alongside Glen Powell (perhaps you saw the viral set photos).
Her newest partnership with Bai Water conveniently combines work and wellness. When Glamour caught up with the star at the kickoff of the BAIdration Challenge in N.Y.C.—summer-ready in a Y2K-inspired baby tee, pleated mini, and pink sunglasses—she said she can always find a moment to take a step back, no matter how packed her schedule is.
From a full vacay to something small like ice cream (she has a soft spot for rainbow sherbet from Baskin Robbins, thanks for asking), Me Time is front and center for Sweeney. “At night, I snuggle with my dog Tank, watch HGTV, and unwind however I can,” she says.
As for this summer? “I am looking forward to time at home at the lake with my family and friends—going skiing and hiking, and just relaxing,” she says. Until that time comes, Sydney Sweeney has these eight wellness essentials to keep her going.
111Skin Eye Gels
In the morning I love to do eye masks—sometimes there are pictures of me leaving the house and I still have my eye masks on. These from 111Skin are my favorites.
Cryotherapy Ice Roller
I love to ice roll my face. I got it off of Amazon for, like, seven bucks. It’s my moment for myself. That and the eye gels, that’s usually my morning routine.
Slip Silk Pillowcase
I love a silk pillowcase. I’m on the plane all the time, so I usually travel with one.
Candy
I am a candy-holic. Whether it’s a Kit-kat or peanut M&Ms, gummy bears. I’m not really the healthiest of eaters. It’s not even when I’m tired, it’s 24/7.
Bai Water in Pilavo Pineapple Mango
Since I was 12, I have literally only had water to drink. Bai has everything I believe in—it’s water, it has antioxidants, and it’s infused, so it adds flavor to my life. I drink it every day. It balances out the sugar and candy intake.
Bala Bangles
I travel with ankle weights. I might look at them more than I use them, but I do travel with them just in case I get in the spirit.
Lumify Eye Drops
My eyes get red a lot, so I always have Lumify drops. I have really sensitive eyes and I can’t see far away. I’m supposed to wear glasses or contacts and I don’t like them, so my eyes are constantly strained.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a must-have in my hydration routine. I use it every night so it is always on my bedside table at home or packed in my suitcase, which is what I seem to live out of these days.
