Camila Cabello released the new hit single “Twentysomethings” as part of her latest album, C,XOXO, which came out just a few weeks ago. According to the 27-year-old singer, it’s quickly become a fan-favorite. To celebrate its success, she took to TikTok to share six pieces of life advice—including skin care tips, dating strategies, and other relationship pointers—for twenty-somethings that are both important and insightful. (And honestly, people of all ages can take something away from her wisdom.) Read them below and press “play” on the video to watch.

Tip Number One: Take Care of Your Skin
“Number one: Your face, neck, and chest should all be considered your face. Use sunscreen, apply lotions, invest in skin care, all the way up to your chest. Otherwise, I promise you, you will start to see the damage when you get older.”
Tip Number Two: On Finding Your Person
“How much you invest in somebody should not be based on a list of their best qualities; it should be based on how they make you feel. I don’t f–king care if he’s the funniest, smartest, most talented guy in the world, does he make you feel safe? Does he make your nervous system feel calm? Or does he make you feel anxious? Does he make you overthink everything you say? Does he make you feel like you have to compete with other women? If so, we have to retrain and rewire our minds. That is not our person.”
Tip Number Three: On Dating Mindset
“Before you go on dates, if you find yourself getting nervous; if you find yourself trying to be chosen, remember: You are also choosing. It’s not only, ‘do they like me?’ It’s ‘do I like them?'”
Tip Number Four: On Perceptions of Others
“I promise you, the people you think have it the most ‘together,’ are just as ‘f–ked up as you are. Don’t put anybody on a pedestal.”
Tip Number Five: On Authenticity in Relationships
“When it comes to dating, be so yourself that the people who are not meant for you will just naturally clear out of the way. In dating, rejection is honestly a good thing.”
Tip Number Six: On Setting Healthy Boundaries
“Boundaries are actually an act of compassion. You are teaching people how to treat you; teaching people that it’s not okay to be an a–hole, and that’s actually good for them, too. I used to really shy away from confrontation and telling people something wasn’t okay until I learned that perspective. I was like, ‘This is actually good for them, too.'”
