Two-time Women’s Health SA cover star and iconic actress Connie Ferguson is a woman of many talents. The fitness enthusiast recently launched her rebranded and extended beauty and body care range. And this is no ordinary range, she says. “I’d like whoever uses this range to feel special, spoilt, pampered and confident, like the girls they think they are and the boys they think they are,” she muses in between chuckles, before adding that the extended range was inspired by her own journey with resilience and can-do attitude. Owing to these two traits, today, she can assertively say that they have contributed towards helping her build her confidence.
The extension of the beauty and body care range was always on the cards when she first launched in 2014, adds Connie. “We didn’t anticipate taking this long before introducing new products to the range. On the positive side this gave us more time for a thorough research and development process and the opportunity to work on more offerings from CONNIE Brands,” she explains.
