“The way that I grew up was like … cocoa butter or bust.”
You’re no stranger to the food world. How has developing a beauty line been similar to and different from your food-centric endeavors?
Anyone who deals with like hormonal acne knows that there’s not much you can do sometimes. So for me now, it’s more about making sure that the products I’m using aren’t harsh irritants, so that I can keep that pH balance on my face, and that was very important to me for the line. Oh my goodness. I have the more commercial moments of, you know, my mom using her Pond’s Cold Cream growing up, which I cannot use on my face. But my grandma, when I was a teenager, I was having breakouts and my grandma was like, “Cut a piece of tomato and rub it on your face.” She’s like, “That’s what we do in the bush.”
What’s interesting is the way that I grew up was like: “You’re a child—don’t put anything on your skin.” It was cocoa butter or bust. So I didn’t have that routine from a young age. I saw my mom doing her routine, but a torch wasn’t passed down. My girls are so into the beauty routine. It is like ritualistic at this point, especially for my oldest. She thrives on having that me time and really taking the time to go through the steps. And I love that for her.
