Shawn Johnson [1] has long achieved cool-mom status, what with being an Olympic gold medalist, author, and entrepreneur, plus having countless brand partnerships under her belt, but she's not anywhere close to being done. Johnson has added yet another fun and exciting collaboration to the list, and this time it's with Tula for a new fall-themed, limited-edition product [2].
The product collaboration with Tula allowed Johnson to combine her love for fall and her love for skin care to create the So Pumpkin Exfoliating Scrub [3], an exfoliant powered by sugar and fruit enzymes that works to buff away dead skin and unclog pores.
"I love all things fall and pumpkin, so I was so excited to bring this collaboration to life," Johnson said to POPSUGAR. "I shared my mom's pumpkin bread recipe last year and it went viral, so Tula and I wanted to create another way to celebrate fall and everything pumpkin spice. It reminds me of my mama's recipe and is perfect for swinging into the fall spirit."
If you follow Johnson on Instagram, then you know just how busy she is. This played a role in her new product, too. "Being an Olympic gold medalist, mom, wife, and entrepreneur is a daily balancing act — so when it comes to my skin care, I need products that work quickly and easily fit into my routine," said Johnson, who describes her beauty routine as low-key [4] but quality. "I focus more on ingredients, self-care, confidence, and skin care over makeup."
A quick and efficient skin-care routine allows her to dedicate more time doing her favourite thing in the world: cuddling her daughter, who's not yet old enough to partake in beauty rituals but no doubt will one day, just as Johnson did with her mom. "When I was little, my hair was so long, and every single night, I'd get out of the shower and my mom would put lotion on my face and braid my hair because I wanted wavy hair every day. I loved that time together so much, and now that I have a daughter, I can't wait to bond with her like that, too."
