Rickey Thompson brings expert skincare, comforting confidence, and plenty of whispered chaos to this episode of Hush & Brush. Before diving into his Birkin bag full of essentials, he sets the stage with a spritz of his Jean Paul Gaultier scent–“it smells so sexy.” From his go-to Tatcha cleanser to a lineup of TikTok-famous tools and serums that keep him glowing, Rickey walks us through the regimen he swears by.
Rickey shares hard-earned skincare wisdom—like how a change to your routine can make your skin break out before it gets better (a lesson learned on the night of the Golden Globes), why he always moisturizes his neck, and Pharrell’s golden rule: never pull your face downward. With his skincare complete, Rickey shifts into his “soft, natural beat”—a makeup routine so simple and subtle, it leaves people surprised he has anything on.

01:14this is my everyday scent it smells so sexy
01:19okay first it's time to cleanse the skin so the reason why my skin is so glossy is because of
01:28Tatcha I love Tatcha it's everything to me I've never done ASMR before so this is very difficult
