At 54, Tasha Smith is radiating a timeless beauty that seems to glow from within. For this year’s Melanin Beauty Awards, we’re celebrating individuals who embody beauty not just on the surface, but through their inner wellness and spirit. Tasha Smith is the perfect embodiment of this theme, and we’re thrilled to honor her as our 2025 Timeless Beauty.
Radiance from Within
Smith, known for her striking features and effervescent energy, shared that she feels she’s “at her best right now.” This confidence and radiance are palpable, a testament to her journey of self-acceptance. She humorously reflects on her younger self, questioning why she didn’t fully appreciate her own beauty back then, especially during a time when her confidence was often tied to external validation.
A significant lesson learned over the years is that external negativity, particularly from relationships, is not a reflection of one’s own worth or beauty. “It wasn’t my fault that he wanted to go out and screw a thousand other people that had to do with him. That wasn’t a reflection of me,” she explained. This realization has allowed her to embrace her kindness, goodness, and the essence of her being.
A Skincare Routine Rooted in Expertise
When it comes to maintaining her healthy skin and signature glow, Tasha credits her long-time esthetician, Mamie McDonald. For about 20 years, Smith has relied on Mamie’s products, including her face wash, serums, oxygen plasma drops, and oxygen lotion. She also incorporates Dr. Diamond’s Metacine products into her routine, using a combination of both.
Despite using professional-grade products, Tasha prefers to keep her daily routine relatively simple. “I’m a clean face chick, you know, I put on a red lip like you a little gloss. As long as I got a lash,” she shared. This approach highlights a balance between dedicated skincare and effortless, natural beauty.
