Yinka Adenuga started her successful career in the New York financial industry. She is a Certified Public Accountant in the US. She has experience in the power utility industry. She has excellent solution solving, leadership, risk managing, product

branding, business and decision making skills through her experience in the financial and utility industry. She spent the last ten years using numerous skin care products from high end dermatologist manufactured, department stores, organic and natural products seeking a youthful and radiant skin and none of the products gave her the optimum result she was looking for and the products lacked focus on darker skin tone. Out of frustration, using her passion for optimum and effective skin care products and her business background, she founded Lavelle Skincare. Lavelle Skincare produces optimum and effective facial products for all skin types with emphasis on dark skin types. Yinka, who currently resides in Bel Air, California, in this interview with Allure, tells of her battle with acne and the journey to producing her skin care line.
