For an Olympian, it only makes sense that taking care of their body is a top priority. And ahead of the 2024 games in Paris, USA Track & Field star ShaโCarri Richardson finds time in her fast-paced schedule for recovery and self-care. โI always make it a priority to decompress,โ she says. To remain grounded, her health and wellness routines are intuitive. โI do whatever my training and emotions require. Itโs all about what Iโm feeling I need in that moment.โ This includes caring for her skin.
That said, for the fastest woman in the worldโ running the 100-meter in a record-breaking 10.65 secondsโ teaming up with Olay as their new brand ambassador was a โno-brainer,โ she tells us via Zoom. โGrowing up with my grandmother, Olay is in a lot of childhood memories that I have,โ Richardson adds. โThis honestly feels like a full circle moment.โ

As for how she removes dirt, oil, and sweat post-workout? Richardson reaches for the new and athlete-approved Cleansing Melt. They are a water-soluble pad which turns into a rich, creamy lather after touching water. โWith most cleansing products, your face can be left feeling dry.โ she says. โMy favorite part about this one is definitely the hydrating factor.โ
And outside of serving glowing skin, sheโs known to deliver major glam on the track, too. โI do love me some Fenty. I do,โ she says. โI like a nice lip, a nice liner, and either mascara or lashes.โ For hair care, her current secret is just water. โIโm definitely more in my natural phase at the moment,โ she says. This approach is seemingly as natural as her canโt-miss confidence, which sent her ginger wig flying before her 100m US Championship win.







โYou have to be confident in yourself no matter what anyone thinks of you,โ Richardson says of what helps her stay focused. โIโm excited about my track career, qualifying to make the USA team, and then going on to run in the Olympic Games in Paris this summer.โ Through everything coming her way, a simple mantra keeps her grounded. โWhatโs meant for you, you will have, no matter what.โ
