PS: For many women of color, makeup is only half the battle. Skin care is a whole other ballgame. What are your biggest skin concerns, and how do you take care of these today?
ANK: I definitely struggled with acne and hyperpigmentation during my teenage years. Now, I've been really trying to take my skin care a step further. I am focusing on what I am putting in my body and taking care of myself and my mind. Whenever I get down on myself or if I eat unhealthy, my skin is the first thing to react. But when I take time to be mindful of how I am treating myself — eating well, drinking water, taking vitamins — my skin looks fabulous. If you're taking care of your spirit, it will show on the outside. As we develop, things are bound to happen, but overall, I say take care of yourself and don't pick at your skin. And hyperpigmentation sucks, but it does eventually go away.
