You work very closely with your mom — it's one of the best mother-daughter fashion stories today. Did she pass down any beauty secrets that you're willing to share with our readers?
"We don't use makeup, so what is really important for both of us is to use a good cream. You have to use a good sunblock."
Which one do you use now?
"I use Livestrong sunblock, because we really like to stay in the sun both in summer and in the winter."
So, would you say that's the one beauty item you use every single day?
"Yes. It might be strange..."
But it's important! Not many women understand how important it is to start using it early.
"Especially Italian women, because I feel like in Italy, sunscreen sales are not very big. I think, culturally, a lot of women don't wear sunscreen."
