        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke, self-love can be a struggle.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I do have days where I feel ugly. I woke up one day and I had two huge pimples on my face; it was right before I was about to film a movie in Atlanta [soccer drama &ldquo;High Expectations&rdquo;]. It was so embarrassing because it was huge and I could not cover it up,&rdquo; she told Page Six Style.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I definitely have my moments where I don&rsquo;t feel pretty, for whatever reason. But then I have the other days when you just feel better. That&rsquo;s what life is; it&rsquo;s full of ups and downs.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Baby I&rsquo;m Coming Home&rdquo; singer, 27, credits her mother with many of her beauty secrets.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Even before Fifth Harmony, my mom really taught me to take care of my skin. Wash morning and night. Do a scrub twice a week. Never, ever sleep with your makeup on,&rdquo; she shared. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve also learned how important it is to stay hydrated. I have seven bottles of water each day. It literally changes everything, because the number-one thing I found is that when you stay hydrated, your energy level just changes. Like, that can be my coffee.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As for her skincare essentials? &ldquo;I&rsquo;m cheap and bougie, so I use <strong>Cetaphil</strong> from the drugstore and then I use <strong>La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream</strong> ($190),&rdquo; Brooke said. &ldquo;I also use <strong>St. Ives Apricot Scrub</strong> ($3.89) twice a week; I love that. It is super simple and it helps my skin.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The musician names <strong>Davines OI All In One Milk</strong> ($35) as her holy grail hair product. &ldquo;It is a leave-in conditioner and detangler; I&rsquo;m obsessed with it,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll get even the toughest tangle out.&rdquo;</p>
<p>And Brooke should know, having struggled with serious hair damage from her time in the girl group. &ldquo;When I was super bleach-blonde, it was breaking,&rdquo; the naturally brunette star said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;At one point I had alopecia, but it was from all the stress that was going on. My hair was fried, so I decided to lay off on the bleaching and let it grow out, and that helped so much. I didn&rsquo;t go as blond again. I went more like a honey blond, and that helped tremendously &mdash; and using heat protectant.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Thank god I stopped bleaching it,&rdquo; she added. &ldquo;My hair is in a much better place.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Brooke&rsquo;s memoir &ldquo;Finding Your Harmony&rdquo; is out now.</p>]]></content:encoded>
