Angela Bassett Breaks Down Her 3 Best Beauty Secrets That Keep Her Looking Flawless

While Angela Bassett doesn’t like when people tell her she looks good for her age, we can’t help but revel in her ageless appearance. At 64, the twice Oscar-nominated actress looks like she did in her breakout role as Tina Turner in the 1993 film What’s Love Got to Do with It. The internet began buzzing about her beauty again after a resurfaced clip of Angela spilling her beauty secrets began making its rounds.


The TikTok was taken from a tweet: "Angela Bassett should’ve been Oscar-nominated for this clip of her revealing the 3 things you must do to look like her.” However, the clip is from a 4-year-old interview with TV host Lalia Muhammad.

We broke down the mother of two’s beauty secrets below:

Go to an Esthetician

Angela says she loves “a good esthetician.” Estheticians can help beautify your skin through facials, chemical peels, and other skin treatments. “I wear a lot of makeup all the time but your face, your canvas, present it to the world, and you're good,” she said.

Clean Eating (Most of the Time)

Like Angela said (which is backed by science), “you can outeat any exercise routine.” She continued, “So, you gotta eat right, clean, every–at least 85% of the time. So, follow a plan. Not one that’s too restrictive. I happen to follow one that sort of cycles through.”

The Black Panther actress gave us the rundown on her eating habits. “Like Monday, Tuesday, I may eat carbs, fruit,” she said. “Tuesday, Wednesday I may do protein, veggies, veggies every day. No fats those four days and then the last three days I flood it with fat, good fat though.” Those good fats include “coconut oil, salmon, almonds, almond butter, olive oil, [and] walnut oil.” She also doesn’t eat dairy or bread flour but will do sprouted bread such as Ezekiel bread.

Fitness

Lastly, Angela works out with a personal trainer every day. “I gotta pay, so I will show up because I don’t want to waste my money,” she explained. “So I gotta be accountable and somebody’s there waiting for me ‘cause I know myself and I will talk myself out of going.”

She also described what her workouts consist of. “Monday, Tuesday I’ll do cardio,” she said. “Wednesday, Thursday because I’m eating protein I’ll do strength building, and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, when I’m eating all that fat it’s about deep breathing, a massage, or yoga."

However, she clarified, "I don’t do yoga. I go for the massage.”

Three Influencers Show Off Their 2022 Holiday Hair Looks Using Their SheaMoisture Faves

This post is in partnership with SheaMoisture.

For Black women, there’s one compliment that will boost our confidence like none other: “Come through hair!” You know the vibe! Walking into a room with folks acknowledging that your hair is laid for the gawds, and the effort that it took to get it there, is a top five feeling. And with the holiday season just weeks away, you’ll be hearing that quite often. Between Thanksgiving gatherings with the family, Friendsgiving, company parties, and Christmas get-togethers, the opportunities to let your hair show up and show out aren’t too far away.

Apart from the holiday stuntin’, the end-of-year slow down is also the perfect opportunity to reevaluate the year your hair has had. Whether you kept it cute with protective braids, went big with blowouts, or let loose with textured twist-outs, this is the perfect time to give your hair the gift of TLC - tender lovin’ curls. Like the weather, our hair goes through seasons and has different needs depending on what we’ve put it through. Perhaps the transition into fall/winter has left your curls a bit parched and in need of some serious hydration. Or maybe your strands could use some restorative conditioning after taking it down from a convenient protective style. No matter what category you fall into, SheaMoisture has hundreds of ways that you can clean, treat and refresh your hair for a healthy shine that will bring you into the new year right. Bring your curls back to life with the nourishing and fragrant Coconut & Hibiscus line. Boosted with natural ingredients such as coconut oil, neem oil, carrot oil, and shea butter, this line is the antidote to reviving thirsty, dehydrated hair. Even better - with SheaMoisture’s custom quiz, you can get a hair analysis that will lead you to the right products for your hair needs. Say hello to sleek edges, and moisturized, stronger strands.

In need of a little hair-spiration? We got you covered! xoNecole and SheaMoisture have teamed up with three natural hair influencers to debut their holiday hair looks. Meet Ambrosia Malbrough, Jasmin Moses, and Daye Covington - beauty bawses who’ve created some incredible holiday looks that are stylish and easy to achieve. They also gave us the scoop on the SheaMoisture products they’re loving right now, as well as their 2023 hair goals.
