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."

"When I graduated high school, I moved back to America, Georgia, and I ended up making, like, the oil, the Rose Galore oil, which is like the staple product of my brand. I don't know what made me make it, but I did, and it literally cleared my face up," she tells xoNecole in an exclusive interview.
"I end up selling it as a body oil first because, obviously, I'm 17, [and] don't have any background as an esthetician or anything like that. I just made a product that worked for me, but people bought it and was using it, and I reformulated it, and then it just stuck like with me."
While MoonXCosmetics is known for its facial products, it wants to expand to body care and home. It just released its new product, Moon-Gel body wash, and it's only up from there. As Mariee continues to grow the brand, it's more than likely that she will see more history-making moments. And so far she has.

When asked if she feels pressure to obtain more of those milestones, she says yes and no. "I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more," she says.
"I want to say more reach than more like fast-paced sales. I do want that. Obviously, every girl wants that, but I do want to have a better overall reach for my brand because I did take two years off so I was able to learn, [and] study a lot of different things. See how things have changed from 2020 to now."

Another part of expanding for any company is hiring people. Finding the right person to help you can be a hassle, especially for business owners who are used to doing all the work themselves. Mariee can relate to this, and she touched on this topic in her documentaryThe Million Dollar Story. She recommends having someone be your "right-hand man" who you trust to handle the ins and outs of the company.
"I could say, definitely get, like a right-hand man to help you within the process because that really was what helped me. I never had a job. I literally was 18 now, being like, you know, the boss of over 30+ employees at one point in time, and I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about no W-2s, no taxes, no clock in, clock out because all I [have] ever known was my brand," she explains.
"So I definitely partner with people who are very skewed and versed in those areas, and they helped me get through it. Even to this day, I still have my same person helping me with hiring, firing, [and] doing everything that I can right now because I'm still learning. But obviously people get jobs young, so they have way more experience than me, but still learning."
And though she is still learning, one thing she makes sure to stay on top of is being consistent. Consistency is what trips many people up when it comes to achieving goals, but Mariee says it's all about scheduling. Whether it's when to post on social media or email marketing, scheduling it out can make a world of difference. That same practice also works when planning out her future goals for the company.
"Right now, future goals would be to drop at least five more products before the end of the year. We always do outreach, where we do drives and all that, but definitely do way more this year, she says. "Then really dive into body [care], and then hopefully open up MoonXBody underneath MoonXCosmetics to let that branch out and be open and definitely get back consistent."
