After she hung her gloves, the former two-division world champion, Laila Ali, embarked on a new entertainment career. In time, given her pre-boxing era experience as a nail beautician, she became an entrepreneur. The businesswoman often discusses some useful products with her million-plus followers, letting them know how those items helped her. But while she practices what she preaches, many fans, on the other hand, find themselves amazed by her ageless beauty.

Laila Ali proved her mettle outside, like how she succeeded in the ring. She was deeply conscious about health and fitness and regular beauty-related upkeep. So she launched a brand called Laila Ali Lifestyle that encourages and backs healthy living. To further the causes she believes in, Ali has been religiously using social media. Besides beauty and health, she often touches upon a heart-rendering story or a cautionary message.
