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. Hyperpigmentation is one of the biggest skin concerns for women of colour.

As busy as Michelle is, she still finds time for self-care – which you should be doing, too. According to Brodeur, Obama is a big believer that a healthy lifestyle and looking after yourself is the key to ageing gracefully – and she’s living proof of this.
“She learned from a very young age that she needed to put herself first,” Brodeur continues. “The whole gesture of cleansing your skin and applying your serums and creams, all of those things you can do for yourself; it’s the best display of self-love – it’s not vanity.”
