"I was looking for someone to formulate a skin care line I could use"
About this Quote
The subtext is a quiet indictment of the beauty marketplace: existing options were either too harsh, too gimmicky, too fragranced, too untrustworthy - or simply not aligned with what an actress needs when her face is literally part of her job. “I could use” does double duty. It signals sensitivity (as in, products that won’t irritate) and credibility (as in, if it survives HD cameras, long shoots, and heavy makeup, it’s implicitly tougher than drugstore trial-and-error).
Contextually, this fits a familiar late-20th/early-21st-century celebrity move: converting aesthetic labor into entrepreneurship. For actresses, skincare isn’t vanity; it’s maintenance, protection, and career insurance. Sellecca frames the brand origin as necessity, not ego. That’s the sales pitch modern audiences tolerate: a celebrity not cashing in on attention, but claiming she had to build a better tool because the industry wouldn’t.
