1. She Embraces Her Skin

Dandekar says that she wants people like her to embrace themselves. “My vision is to that one day I don’t have to sit and explain that we all are beautiful. I want everyone to feel that and feel empowered by their skin colour, by the way, they look, their flaws and whatever it is – embrace it.”

2. She’s All About Representation

Dandekar also tells ELLE that a desire for representation inspired her to start her skincare line. “There are two things that inspired me to create BrownSkin Beauty. One is growing up a brown girl in Australia and needing representation all over the world, and two was coming to my own country, which is India and realizing that brown is a bad word and it should not be. We wanted to create a skincare brand that would proudly change the way we look at ourselves and our brown skin along with how skin and skincare are viewed in India. Our aim is to see our customers have a beautiful experience where they feel confident about being who they are and feeling great about what they are using on their faces and body.”

4. She Never Forgets Sunscreen

Dandekar makes sure to protect her face from the sun. She says in her YouTube video that she always makes sure to apply sunscreen. “If you don’t have an SPF in your moisturizer, then make sure that you get an SPF,” she says. “If you want any skin tip or trick in the world, it is sunscreen.”

5. She Uses A Lemon With Honey On Her Face

In her YouTube video, Dandekar says that she likes to use honey and lemon on her face. “Take a lemon and then squeeze two to three drops of honey on it, and then just rub it all over your face,” she says. “Leave it on for five minutes, then wash your face.”
