Can you tell me how you got involved with that?
I’m in love with the products.
It’s not just because Dorion is my friend, but his products work.
They’ve been tried and tested by me, and the glow is definitely real.
What are some of your favorite products?
I have what I like to call the Holy Grail.
Sometimes shea butter can have a little bit of a thicker consistency.
Those are my three favorite Buttah products ever.
It’s the Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Gel-Cream, and the CocoShea Revitalizing Cream.
You’ll have a glow like no other I highly recommend.
Would you mind sharing any skincare challenges specific to Black skin?
I’d like to start off by saying that everyone’s skin is different.
It’s amazing that this stuff is actually targeted toward melanin.
I find that as a Black woman myself, I suffer with hyperpigmentation from sometimes getting acne scarring.
It helps with my hyperpigmentation.
How do you protect your skin when you’re doing all that?
It’s important that you’re taking out those toxins, taking the time to try masks.
For me, it’s steaming.
I can tell you from my twenties, I spent a lot of time falling asleep with makeup on.
My skin saw the havoc from doing that.
Affirmations are big for me, masks, everything self-care.
Did you always want to follow your father’s footsteps into show business?
But I’ve never gone that way completely.
I want to add to the legacy.
We do a lot of activities.
She’s into tennis right now.
