Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Shannon-Lee:
I have to say it again that water affects our insides and outsides. If I haven’t been drinking enough water I can see a difference in my skin. I also feel more fatigued. Making good decisions about what we put in our bodies allow us to reap the outer rewards. I take a pack of women’s vitamin’s each day which include; a multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D3, calcium and cranberry.
My skin was very oily when I was a teenager. I used to over dry my skin by using multiple unnatural topical products which caused my skin to over produce oil. This can become a frustrating cycle. To anyone suffering from acne or oily skin, I recommend trying natural products and examining your diet and ingredients in the topical products you are currently using. Understand the type of skin you have and find what works best for you. Now, at the age of 37, I use Oil of Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging facial cleanser. I like to use Laura Gellar primer and Exuviance foundation.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:

It’s a very professional show with the city’s top fashion designers showcasing their work. I am looking forward to walking in this year’s NEXT Show this Weds Oct 7th.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
As a model and actress you do print, promos, runway, trade shows, spokesperson, tv and films. Which is your favorite media and why?
Ms. Shannon-Lee:
I enjoy print modeling, runway shows and trade shows but I my favorite projects are in tv & film and runway. I love the energy of a fashion show. Walking to the beat of the music while wearing the most incredible fashions is energizing and so much fun. Acting offers the opportunity to become different characters while stepping out of reality and into another person’s world.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modeling?
Ms. Shannon-Lee:
I want aspiring models and actresses to know and understand that for the majority of us success does not just happen. When I started out in this industry, I had dreams of being discovered and making it big. I believe a lot of people think this way. Please understand this is a business. There are many beautiful, talented, people trying to get that booking, role, shoot or gig. What sets you apart? Is it your look? Are you willing to work harder than everyone else? Have a plan for your life. Value education and lay a solid foundation for your life. Follow your heart but have a plan and set realistic goals.
