An Olympic Water Polo Star Offering Skin and Hair Tips

An excerpt from the Washinton Post - 

She’s an Olympic water polo star, but fans just want skin and hair tips

There’s one question Olympic water polo goalie Ashleigh Johnson hears all the time: “How does she take care of her skin and hair?”

The first Black player for the powerhouse U.S. women’s national water polo team and widely considered to be the best goalie in the world, Johnson, 29, helped the U.S. win gold in 2016 and 2021. The Americans are the prohibitive favorites again at this year’s Games in Paris.

An obvious role model, Johnson regularly gets peppered at events and online with questions about her sport, height (6 feet 1 inch), heritage (Jamaican) and favorite food (Pho, a Vietnamese soup).

But questions about her hair and skin are by far the most common. She doesn’t mind.

“I wish that someone had had some hair and skin care tips for me when I was coming up.”

​​So here, for the first time, she shows us what years of practice and experimentation have taught her can keep hair and skin healthy, however much time we spend in the pool.
