1. Any advice to people on how to age beautifully?
A. Absolutely! First and foremost, do not panic. It's important to embrace aging as opposed to fighting it. Fighting is such a negative way to view a atural process. But at the same time, I advise that you take the right steps to have the very best skin that you can. I think you age beautifully when you are a lover of life with an open mind who continuously embraces new concepts.
2. What's the best beauty advice you've ever received?
A. The best beauty advice I've ever received is that it's better to use an excessive amount of moisturizer (with an SPF, of course) as opposed to too little. You can tell this advice has served me well -- despite the fact that my skin is thin and delicate, it's immune mantle has remained very strong because I've given it adequate environmental protection.
3. What are your favorite anti-aging skin care ingredients and why?
A. I love every ingredient that I use in my skincare products, but here are highlights of some of my favorites:
All the natural oils: avocado, sesame, grapeseed oil, black currant oil, wheat germ oil, etc. because of the high concentration of essential fatty acids that calms, cushions and insulates the skin better than any other ingredient. Best of all is these fats combined with sodium hyaluronate/hyaluronic acid (a humectant) that will maintain beautiful skin texture over a lifetime.
I love antioxidants like african red tea for their protective, renewing powers. I had my first encounter with African Red Tea at a little shop in Los Angeles several years ago and was enchanted immediately. Beyond its wonderful flavor, I discovered that African Red Tea's powerful antioxidant properties offer incredible health benefits specifically for the skin.
4. What's your philosophy on looking good / feeling good?
A. You should always take care of your skin and take great pride in the maintenance of your exterior, but my philosophy is that it's important to understand that looking good isn't just about the exterior. It is about living a balanced life and appreciating the great gift that life is!
5. How do you retain a youthful look?
A. Now that I'm more mature in years, I have really just embraced the process and been honest about the facts. I keep the child alive in myself. I remain very playful, and quite frankly, at the end of the day I don't take myself too seriously. I'm not God's gift- I'm just another human being.
