We've learned a lot from Michelle Obama, over the years; grace under pressure, impeccable style, confidence in the face of adversity... And now, we get to learn how to emulate her glowing, goddess-like skin, because her longtime facialist, a.k.a. the "skin guru" Jennifer Brodeur (who has a clientele roster that also includes Oprah Winfrey), just shared Michelle's skincare secrets.
The former First Lady's skincare regimen is surprisingly simple. When Brodeur met Michelle back in 2014, she wanted to focus on fading Michelle's pigmentation and discolouration in the hope of a more even skin tone, she told Refinery 29.
