Issa Rae on natural deodorant disasters and her quarantine beauty routine

Issa Rae isn’t feeling the least bit insecure about her appearance in quarantine.

“I’m trying to stay makeup-free as much as I can,” the 35-year-old star of “The Lovebirds” told Page Six Style. “I just take care of my skin. This is the first time that I’m consistently using sunscreen when I go outside. I am cleaning, exfoliating and masking a lot, so I’m just trying to keep my skin stress-free.”

Rae added that lockdown has provided her with a beauty “restart” of sorts. “My hair feels more healthy. I just feel like I can experiment with different products I have always wanted to use. I can look ugly in my house, ’cause no one see me — it’s great! But I do need a mani and pedi.”

“Natural deodorant is trash,” Rae told us. “My stupid ass tried it for the first time in the summer in New Orleans. I was literally walking with my homies and I was like, ‘What’s that smell?’ Then I smelled one of my armpits. I lifted up my arm and it was me! I was so embarrassed.”

“The Lovebirds” is now streaming on Netflix.
