In terms of what she uses on her skin, Sister Powell said she uses the oatmeal-based body wash that’s formulated for babies due to her sensitive skin, which she characterized as being highly allergic to many bath care products.

Colloidal oatmeal, which is found in the Aveeno product Sister Powell uses and a number of other skin care brands, is shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that are calming to dry and irritated skin, according to a Journal of Drugs in Dermatology clinical trial published in the National Library of Medicine.

Sister Powell’s additional reasoning for sticking with an affordable oatmeal-based product is due to her not wanting to spend a lot of money on beauty products because she’s skeptical of the industry. All in all, she washes her face once a day.

“Carry a parasol and shoot in low light and use baby stuff on your skin,” Sister Powell said to summarize her routine.

While she does appreciate the people who think she looks decades younger than she actually is, Sister Powell was adamant that she looks her age when people see her in person versus on-camera.
