Last, but certainly not least, is Sweet July Skin, the beauty and skincare division of the Curry empire that debuted this summer. “Sweet July Skin was born out of sheer necessity,” Curry told CNN Underscored. “I wanted something that would work for me. Also, I had always heard from my grandmother and mother about the amazing Jamaican treatments that were used on the skin. So we worked with labs and chemists and… Together, we have developed the most effective Caribbean-based skin care on the market.”

Wellness is an important part of Curry’s daily routine, and that includes using this luxurious body care trio from Tatcha. “I’m currently loving her Tatcha Awakening product line during and after the shower,” she says. Suitable for all skin types, the set includes a soft gel body scrub, a lightweight milky lotion, and a non-greasy body oil that locks in moisture for a relaxing experience.
As a frequent traveler, Curry has clear choices when it comes to travel gear. “It has to be my Sweet Her July Weekender bag,” she says. “It’s a nice big bag to throw everything in.
