Yandy Smith Harris: Yelle Skincare Is Dedicated To Melanin-Rich Skin

“When I started getting on TV that was my first time wearing makeup and my skin really reacted badly to it. I broke out really bad.”

She said that when she went to Sephora to get everything she needed to clear up her skin, the total bill was more than $600.

“I realized the average woman would not be able to afford an all-natural plant-based skincare line that would cost $600 a month,” she said.

“That’s when I decided I wanted to get with a master esthetician and a chemist to create something that was green, that was natural, that was plant-based for the everyday working woman like myself.”

I wanted to make sure that this product was for people with melanin in their skin.”
