Vanessa L. Williams is no stranger to beauty products and skin care regimens. As the first Black Miss America, she piled on coats of mascara and layers of makeup for the pageant stage, and as an award-winning actress and singer she’s sat in her fair share of makeup chairs. Despite the constant demands on her skin, the timeless beauty has maintained an enviable glow that has us wondering what she’s doing to look so amazing.
Well, now her secrets are out. Williams is bringing her beauty-know-how to QVC to launch her own line, ReVitalistic Skincare. Here, Williams shares more about her new skin care collection and the tried-and-true tips that she swears by when it comes to aging gracefully.
The “Desperate Housewives” and “Ugly Betty” actress spoke with Essence.com about her new line.
ESSENCE.com: What inspired you to start a skincare line?
VANESSA WILLIAMS: I’ve battled skin problems my entire life and after working with the best doctors, dermatologists and estheticians in the world, I was fortunate enough to find products that consistently worked for me. Now my skin is in great shape and my fans constantly ask about my skin care regimen. So, I have decided to share my secrets. I also identified high-quality ingredients and the most user-friendly approach to beautiful skin with the goal of providing real solutions for real women. So far it seems to have worked. Our reviews have been wonderful and the feedback from the QVC customers has really helped shape new ideas going forward.
ESSENCE.com: You look amazing for your age! What are your skin secrets for aging skin?
WILLIAMS: My first product is the star of my line, my anti-aging wrinkle fighter and my (until now) best kept secret. I’ve been using it for years and it’s made a huge difference in keeping my skin ageless. It’s called the Re-Start Skin Serum. It’s currently available on QVC.com. It includes Dermaxyl, which is a patented oligopeptide complex, Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and antioxidants Vitamin A, C, E and Retinol. These work in combination to oxygenate and moisturize the skin. They also help improve the visible signs of premature aging by smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Make sure you tune into QVC at 8 a.m. ET this Saturday, August 18 to hear more!
