From lifestyle influencer to natural skincare champion, Talah Hashipala, known online as Talah Dacosta, is challenging norms and making his mark in a space that hasn’t always welcomed voices like his. With his signature confidence and sense of humour, Hashipala has built an online presence that is equal parts entertaining and refreshing. “There’s this idea that beauty and skincare are for women, but that’s outdated. Anyone should be able to take care of themselves.”If you follow Hashipala online, you know he does not shy away from these conversations. He’s not pushing a product, he’s pushing a perspective: beauty doesn’t need to be complicated, exclusive or filled with chemicals to be effective.
