Halima Aden radiates beauty from the inside and out. It’s rare to catch the effervescent 21-year-old model and activist without a smile on her face, and one convo with her can make anyone feel like they can take on the world.
We caught up with Aden to chat about all things fashion and beauty during Miami Swim Week in Miami over the weekend, where she was on hand to help choose the winner of the Sports Illustrated Model Search and slayed the runway at the Sports Illustrated Fashion Show at W South Beach Sunday night.
Aden’s skin is always glowing, so before she hit the runway, we asked her about the top beauty products she swears by to keep her skin in tip top shape – not only for summer, but year round.
As she strolled into a makeup and hair room for our interview, giggling in a belted, striped dress and a Halima Aden x Mondanisa hijab (she was beaming as she told us it was from her own collection), Aden told us that products aside beauty “really needs to come from the inside.” She continued, “That sounds kind of cliche, but it’s true. You’ve got to radiate and feel good about yourself and who you are. When you shine on the inside, it just radiates through.”
Then, she broke down her beauty regimen. Take a peek at Aden’s top five beauty products!
