is not a woman who has a lot of free time. Between being a Team USA track-and-field sensation, competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics, and signing on to her first beauty partnership with Olay — she’s got a lot on her plate. But even with her hectic schedule, self-care is something she refuses to neglect.
“On the track and off the track, I work hard and prioritize recovery,” Richardson shares with Allure. “Self-care really looks like me doing my best at everything and then giving myself time to reset. I believe that recovery is just as important as the work.”
Part of her self-care ritual is ensuring she’s maintaining a proper skin-care routine. As a decorated athlete who has been named one of the fastest women in the world, Richardson says she needs to use products that make sure her skin stays super clean to prevent potential breakouts, without feeling stripped and dry. “There is so much sweat, sunscreen, and build-up on my face from training,” she says. While many cleansers on the market sometimes use harsh ingredients that leave skin with that squeaky-clean feel, Richardson has become a huge fan of Olay’s Cleansing Melts — the official facial cleanser of Team USA — and for good reason: They’re the perfect go-to cleansing option for anyone with jam-packed schedules.
