Aside from eating healthy and taking care of my body, I’ve always been passionate about skincare. It’s an essential part of my daily regimen, which is why I decided to create my own skincare line, DEVONNE by Demi. When my skin is clean, I feel my best! There’s no better way to take care of yourself than treating your body right.
What’s your favorite way to stay active?
DL: So many things. Hiking, walking on incline or any chance possible — I especially love my daily walks with Buddy — and cycling! I recently purchased my own bike and took it on the road with me during my world tour. I also enjoy taking classes when I have free time.
Has the way you feel about your body changed since you were a teenager?
DL: It’s only natural for your body to change as you get older. I have come a long way mentally, emotionally, and physically, and I’m proud of where I am today. When I look back, it saddens me to think that I was so hard on myself — when I was younger, I thought I had to look like everyone else, but I learned that beauty comes from how you feel about yourself. Once I started taking care of my mind, body, and soul, I realized that I didn’t need to conform to what’s “normal” and started to love myself.
What do you wish you could tell your younger self about health and body image?
DL: You can’t live with regrets — every moment in my life has led me to where I am today, and because of my struggles, I’m able to serve as a role model and help others struggling with similar issues. If I could turn back time, I would tell myself that I’m beautiful every day, because we all are! And we need to start believing it!
