The 32-year-old supermodel, who is expecting her third child, is experiencing major skin changes with her most recent pregnancy. “When I was younger, I never had sensitive skin — but now that I’m getting older, I do — especially with my pregnancies,” Iman told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting Aveeno’s SkinVisibility program, which aims to address the skin health inequities impacting Black women and women of color. This year’s program initiatives include a collaboration with Health in Her Hue, which aims to provide women of color with culturally sensitive healthcare providers. Aveeno will be sponsoring 500 free year-long premium memberships. Iman, for her part, serves as ambassador for the SkinVisibility program and gushed to Us about how Aveeno has made her life easier.
This dry skin just came out of nowhere. It’s itchy. My eyes are uncomfortable. My skin has just changed and in addition to that, my two girls have been diagnosed with eczema,” Iman said. (Iman shares daughters Cali, 4, and Cassie, 3, with ex-husband Sterling Shepard — who she split from in June 2021. The exes finalized their divorce in May. Iman is currently expecting her first child with fiancé Davon Godchaux.)
My oldest grew out of it, but my youngest still struggles, and Aveeno has really put my mind at ease,” Iman continued. “It’s gotten so bad with [Cassie] that she can’t do normal kid activities like go to the beach. She often struggles with sleep because her skin is so irritated throughout the night.” (Aveeno research and development manager Jipsha Thakrar told Us eczema can occur at any age but can also be triggered by certain foods.)
