Bustle Exclusive
How she deals with hyperpigmentation and more.
Growing up,Sabrina Dhowre Elbacould never find a skin care brand for people that looked like her.
I had really bad acne when I was younger, soI had really bad post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Nothing I was buying into was getting rid of it.
While its largely created for those with melanated complexions, Elba says that doesnt mean her brand isexclusive.
The opposite, in fact.
Idris is West African and I’m East African.
Antioxidants in Africa are stronger than everywhere else because the climates are harsher, she says.
The brand sort became this showcase of beautiful African botanicals, combined with science.
Below, Elba shared her current skin care routine must-haves from SABLE, Biossance, and more.
I always start with mymicellar water.
I then go in with my toner, my serum, and my moisturizer.
Her Most-Loved Lippie
I’m a dry lip girl, especially in the winter.
At the moment, I’m loving theBiossance Squalane+ Rose Lip Balm.
Im on my fourth bottle.
I’m so excited [about] the newS’ABLE Okra Face Serum.
It’s got such a beautiful, creamy texture and is non-irritating.
It’s such a great base under makeup, as well.
