You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Marlyne Barrett:
My mother taught me at an early age to do my hair. I think it’s because she knew that I’d be in situations where not everyone would know what to do with my African-American hair and to take care of it. I have a lot of great friends who are great hair stylists, one in particular, Brenda Damaris is a great stylist in Montreal, Quebec, which is one of the cities where I was raised and she gave me a lot of encouragement on how to do my hair. I get my products from her, doing two hair treatments a month, cutting my ends every 5 weeks, and not using a lot of heat. My natural hair is more of a curly dropped afro and it represents me well. Maggie Lockwood, on CHICAGO MED has it straight with some waves this season and I really enjoy this look as well. I just love to take care of what I’ve been blessed with. Great hairstylist. Hair education. Very natural products.
I love to exfoliate my skin. I go to a dermatologist once every 3-4 months. We do have great products they provide for us with on set. I enjoy natural products. In 2012, I suffered burns on my face and it took me a while to get my natural skin complexion back. I also like to use lemon which is a natural acid to clean my pores and then exfoliate with some really light green tea lotions. I’ve been blessed with great skin that I believe comes also from my parent’s heritage!

Tell us about your role as “Maggie Lockwood” on the hit NBC series “Chicago Med.”
Marlyne Barrett:
Maggie is a charge nurse that has worked very hard to get out of the South side of Chicago’s difficulties and now entering into the health care system of corporate America she has forgotten to develop her relationships outside of work and she’s lonely. She’s looking forward to becoming someone’s girlfriend and someone’s mother one day.
Namita Nayyar:
What are your future plans in the acting realm?
Marlyne Barrett:
Writing, directing films, and acting in them. It’s been a long-time dream of mine to write, direct and produce. I’m in the process of finishing my first script and getting ready to shoot something in 2018, God willing. I’m looking forward to some remarkable success in that.
