Draya Dropped The Sensitive Skincare Routine That Keeps Her Exfoliated AF
Spring cleaning doesn't just apply to your closet, your pores need love too, sis and Draya just dropped the brightening nighttime skincare routine that will help you say goodbye to dull, dead skin and hello to a freshly exfoliated face.
In Harper's Bazaar's Go To Bed With Me, the Basketball Wives star spilled all the tea on her favorite products to use after a long day, the first of which is a silk scrunchie, which Draya says can ultimately prevent breakage:
"If I'm going to bed, I like to use a nice silk scrunchie. These are supposed to be really good for your hair and stop breakage."
The mompreneur explained that as a sister in the dry skin struggle, she makes her nighttime skincare routine a priority. Using an array of products from Sunday Riley and this "aggressive exfoliant," Draya says that she's able to prevent signs of aging and keep her normally dry skin hydrated AF.
"I have a lot of texture issues and that can cause my makeup to look kind of cakey. So I like to take off a layer of skin each week. And my favorite product to use for that at the moment is Glamglow Flashmud. It's a very strong and aggressive exfoliant. You do this on dry skin."
During the video, Draya also dropped a few other beauty tips and explained that while exfoliating is key, your eyebrows must be protected at all costs during this process:
"Because over-exfoliating them, you can lose hairs. And I like every single hair in my eyebrows."

Rihanna Talks Shedding Expectations And Finding Balance As A Mother
Since becoming a mother in 2022, Rihanna has defined parenthood by her terms and hopes to pass that sense of autonomy on to her children.
For Vogue China’s April cover story, Rihanna shared her perspective on raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, and how she hopes to preserve her children’s uniqueness, devoid of societal expectations.
"The most beautiful thing...is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity,” she told the publication. “Which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group."
The “Work” artist, known for her trendsetting style and captivating persona, expressed her desire to support children in fully embracing their individuality and encouraging them to be whoever they want to be. "It's really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be,” she says.
She continues, “They should embrace it completely, because it's beautiful, and it's unique. I love them just that way."
From shattering music charts to shaking up the beauty industry, Rihanna has forged a path that has since created the “dream” life we see today. One that she says has made her parents proud of.
“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.”
Rihanna, who shares sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky, recently shared her vision for expanding her family in the future in Interview Magazine.
When stylist Mel Ottenberg asked about the number of additional children she hoped to have, Rihanna replied, "As many as God wants me to have.”
"I don't know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl,” she adds. “But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy."
