"I guess going back to how busy and active my lifestyle is just like today, it took me a while to get here because I did come from school. I'm sitting here today with a little bit of a football player. So again, I'm a living testament to how busy and active my day-to-day life really is and for the longest time. Skin used to be just an afterthought.

“Growing up as a football player, but when I kind of grew into my womanhood, I saw and appreciated how much skincare could not just build or improve what I look like on the outside but on the inside the confidence was on a whole ‘nother level and I think that's what I felt in the past few weeks using the brand is I would look at myself in the mirror, film my videos and be like, oh my gosh, I feel so confident without any makeup on. So not only do I look for products that I feel like really work for me.

“But because of my lifestyle, I really enjoy products that first of all are easy to use. I'm still really young myself, so I'm still learning a lot about skincare. But that is one thing that I that I really love about the brand is just how easy it is to use. And how it gives me that comfort on a day-to-day basis.

“And another thing is I am really exposed to the sun a lot again because of football and I just really love being outdoors. So I think that's another really important thing. I look for in my skincare is for products to take care of my sun exposure basically.”

“[My life]is so fun because I get to do modeling, I get to do beauty pageants, I get to create content, and all the time, my makeup is always on. Whether that's me putting my makeup on by myself or getting my makeup done by different makeup artists. But the thing is, getting your makeup done in a lot of different places really exposes you to a lot of irritants.

“So you can't really control if it's a different product or if it's a different tool that's being used on your face to break out or get irritated. And what I think a lot of people don't really realize is that the de-glam process is just as important as the glam process. So having a trusted skincare regimen is really something that's super important.

“Because if you come home and you have something the next day and you suddenly have a huge break out, what do you do? You go back to your trusted skincare, right? So I'm somebody who really has all of my trusted products and backups of that. And since I've been using the brand for the last two weeks, I've really noticed that my skin barrier has been replenished. I don't notice as much little tiny bumps and breakouts.So it's really, really important to have an amazing regimen with the products that you trust.”

“I was so surprised that you said it takes three months, six months, because for me, three days into the journey, I really felt my skin getting softer. You know, and these are like the things that you kind of feel after a facial treatment or like after, I guess, like a long routine. But for me, I really felt it.

“But I showed it in my reel also, that I had like some red spots and I had some inflammation. So that really cleared. I love it. And then I'm now 10 days into the journey and I feel like my skin, okay, I'm going to toot my own horn here. It's something that you really notice up close. Like there's a subtle glow and then it's clear, it's brighter.”
