Age Ain’t Nothin’ But A Number: Beauty Secrets From Stunning Celebrities Over 40

Taraji P. Henson: Shea Butter

At 43 years old, the Hollywood beauty known as Taraji P. Henson says that staying youthful and vibrant is certainly a lifestyle, and while she has several strategies for maintaining her signature glow, she revealed to Glamour that shea butter is a staple product in her beauty routine.

“I wash my face in the morning and at night. I drink a lot of water. You have to stay hydrated. As far as my hair…I wrap my hair at night because that’s less heat on it every day. I’m a health Slore, for lack of a better word. I love healthy hair. I love healthy skin. I love skin that glows. That’s why I love this Shea butter, because I put it on and I feel like, when I go home and I go to bed I take my clothes off, I feel like I’ve just put lotion on. And I only put it on once a day. I use the cream for my feet and I put socks on at night.”
