Now, the inspirational beauty is on the cover of Elle UK’s Feminism issue, sharing how she’s had her own skin struggles.
Alicia confessed:
“It took me forever to get this skin. I mean, I know how it feels to have a face full of bumps and pimples. I lived through that in the public eye. But when I first got pregnant [six years ago with her son, Egypt] I started to eliminate dairy from my diet and drank a lot more water, which made a huge difference to my skin. Some have called this a crusade. Well, I died laughing at that. I use to feel the pressure to appear as the music industry expected, but I don’t now.”
Yass! Preach!
We have a feeling plenty of readers will be ditching the dairy to get skin like hers!
Also in the interview, the momma of two expressed her thoughts on feminism, adding:
“Let’s look the definition up because I have in my mind what I feel it means. ‘The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of political, social and economic equality’ ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ so yes. Yes, I am a feminist, and whoever isn’t is crazy…It’s about owning your power, embracing your womanhood.”
She’s an inspiration!
