Halsey reveals their skincare secret ingredient is breastmilk
Singer Halsey explains the power of breast milk and their other unorthodox approaches to beauty.
Halsey, the 28-year-old star, has revealed that breastmilk has been part of their beauty routine since having her son in 2021.
“When your baby is kissing you or snuggled up against you, you become hyper-cognizant of what’s on your face,” Halsey explained in an interview with Nylon.
When asked why they choose breastmilk as a prime ingredient for their skincare routine, they gushed to the interviewer about the amazing benefits and how conscious they’ve become about that kind of thing since their son was born.
“It’s so full of antioxidants and good fats and stuff that speed up the healing process,” the Grammy nominee, who goes by they/them pronouns, stated.
Her approach to beauty
“There’s a tremendous amount of independence that comes from being in control of your own face and that’s the feeling that I get that I want to give to the fans,” says the About-Face brand founder in an exclusive interview.
What’s About-Face?
The bold, color-forward makeup line, which launched in 2021, has only been steadily growing in popularity ever since—leading with the brand’s long-wear and sweat-proof eye products ranging from bold liners to artist-inspired eye paints.
Just this last month, the brand hit a major milestone—officially launching in Ulta, one of the largest global beauty retailers in the world.
“About-Face is based on being creative as opposed to correcting your face,” Halsey describes. With the line, the singer hopes to steer their fans away from today’s unrealistic beauty standards by encouraging them to embrace their own features instead.
“I wanted to give that same power to the fans that I had found in accepting that this is what my face looks like, and I need to love what my face looks like,” they note.
“It’s meant to be a fun gateway brand to take you from novice to expert by giving you a lot of tools to play with...letting mistakes turn into really creative moments.”
