Get Coco Jones' Step-By-Step Nighttime Skincare Routine
Coco Jones has been on a high since her first Grammy win and has been capitalizing on the success. The "ICU" performer recently stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show to talk about her win, shared her beauty secrets with Vogue, and now she has revealed her nighttime skincare routine to Harper's Bazaar. The 26-year-old explained that when it comes to her skincare, she's all about simplicity and credits her dermatologist for helping her skin after dealing with adult acne.
"I learned from my dermatologist that it really doesn't take all of those fancy glamorous products or a DIY. It really just takes good ingredients that have been working all of their lives," she said. Read below to see Coco's step-by-step nighttime routine for healthy skin.
Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover Balm

The Bel-airactress uses Clinique's Take the Day Off makeup remover balm to remove her makeup, starting with her lashes. "This eyeliner is extremely, extremely heavy, so I like products that don't dry me out while they're removing whatever makeup I had on during the day. And I find that this cleansing balm really does the job there," she said.
Salicylic Acid

While cleansing her skin with The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Coco opened up about her skincare journey. The singer revealed that she went through some ups and downs when finding the right products. "So, initially, as a teen, didn't struggle with any acne. It was really more when I got into like my early 20s that I started dealing with acne and definitely dark marks. Respect you guys, but God you're annoying," she said.
"So I've tried a lot of DIYs at that time, YouTube was my favorite and I was learning all of these things and how to craft all of these concoctions, ended up burning my skin. And basically, I fell in love with aloe vera because then it was like a healing agent."
Her trials, however, ended up leading her to get professional help. "But really what I realized is that all of those products are like really cute and fun and sometimes it's nice to make like a little dry oatmeal mask or put the cucumbers over your eyes--but really, you need a dermatologist," she continued. "You need a professional who does this to tell you what's going on."
Urban Skin Rx Balancing Witch Hazel Toner

The next step in her nighttime skincare routine is toner. "I love Urban Skin RX. So this is their Balancing Witch Hazel Toner and I like it because it's not like too intense," she explained. "So I just go all around the face with this toner. I don't really like go under my eyes too much because I know that's the most sensitive skin."
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum

When it comes to serums, the multi-hyphenate can't get enough of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. "I think it's just good for all-over balancing, toning, and a lot of really good properties. And I also just love the way it feels on my skin. I like it. It feels like a layer of like protection," she said.
Salicylic Acid Serum

Coco also uses a salicylic acid serum, and she admitted that sometimes she mixes it with The Ordinary whenever she's in a rush to go to bed.
Topicals Faded Serum

For dark spots, Coco uses Topicals Faded serum, which helps brighten the skin. "If I have dark spots, I will just like tap it on my dark spots and not my entire face and just, you know, let them do what they do while I go slumber," she said.
Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream

An important step in any skincare routine is moisturizer. Moisturizing the skin is typically the final step as it keeps your skin from being dry. The "Double Back" artist's go-to moisturizer is Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. "I love it. It's light, but it also really does hold weight and make you feel very refreshed and hydrated."
She went on to talk about how good it smells and how she likes to massage the cream into her skin as she pretends like she is at a spa.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

In the words of Coco, "No crusty lips. It's 2024." She ended her routine with Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, putting on a thick layer for it to "settle in."

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Tubi has been gaining popularity due to its free sign-up and a vast selection of series and films. According to Deadline, the FAST (free ad-streaming television) service has seen a 14.7% growth from May and now has similar numbers to Disney+. So while many people have joked about Tubi having low-budget movies, the numbers don't lie.
In fact, I was one of those people who didn't get the appeal of Tubi, but the more I watched it, the more I enjoyed the content. They have some of our favorite TV series, such as Scandal and Star, as well as big films like the Fast and Furious franchise and cult classic Love & Basketball.
Tubi even has its own original movies and series that are just as entertaining. But while Tubi is on the come up, some of the low-budget movies and hood movies are still a must-watch. From Tubi originals to the hood movies, we've put together a list of shows and movies to add to your watchlist.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an original Tubi movie that stars Hailey Kilgore (Juke from Power Book III: Raising Kanan), Damon Wayans, and Pam Grier. It's a love story gone awry after a robbery turns deadly, and a young couple faces many challenges to make it out alive.
The Dirty D
The Dirty D is one of the first things I watched on Tubi, as many people highly recommended it. It's a series set in a Detroit club, and it has all the drama you can think of. Murder, drug dealing, cheating, greed, and more.
Black Men Don't Cheat
In this film, a young woman grapples with the death of her husband while also discovering his secret life, which puts her in danger.
Mother May I
This movie fully captivates the overbearing mother. However, the ending will shock you as she goes a little too far.
The Stepdaughter
When a young girl moves in with her dad and his new wife, a series of unfortunate events occurs. This Tubi original will keep your attention with every turn.
These Men For Everybody
These Men For Everybody is a film that highlights the tangled web of friendships and relationships and how you can't trust anybody.
Best Friend
What happens when your best friend is obsessed with you? This movie, which stars Serayah and Marques Houston, answers this very question and takes us on a ride in the process.
What's Done After Dark
What's Done After Dark shows us that everything isn't always what it seems. The twist at the end is a real doozy.
