Sasha admitted that she was wanted to act from a young age. However, she was glad that her parent's decision allowed her to have a normal high school experience before exploring Hollywood.

It would be the first time the skincare brand had ever used a duo to promote its product. At the time, Sasha was 16 and using the product for teenage acne.

Vanessa had dealt with acne throughout most of her adulthood and said the product had worked after years of skin problems.
