Tracee Ellis Ross’ youthful glow is from lots of water and sex

Tracee Ellis Ross has been skin, hair and life goals for much of her career, recently sharing her secrets to eternal youth.

Ross, 46, took to Instagram to drop her “five commandments for staying young,” specifying that her instructions are for “grown women” within the caption.

“One, giggle as much as possible. Two, gotta get your sleep. People say sleep when you’re dead, I don’t agree. Sleep when you’re tired,” Ross insists. “That’s what you do if you can.”

The “Black-ish” actress continued, “Three, drink so much water. Like seriously. Hydrate, hydrate hydrate! Four, have as much sex as possible. Sorry Mom but it’s true! Brings out the best in your skin.” Ross then added the quick caption, “consensual, connected, yummy, good & safe sex. Not just any sex.”

Wrapping up her list, the Emmy winner urged followers to “Love with a full and open heart! You’ll stay young forever I swear.”

Ross recently entered the beauty market with her own haircare line, Pattern, meant “specifically for curly, coily and tight textured hair.⁠”

The star posed nude on Instagram to share the news, explaining that the line “is the result of 20 years of dreaming, 10 years in the making (I wrote my first brand pitch in 2008) and 2 years of working with chemists,” revealing that she “tried 74 different samples” before landing on the seven formulas included in the initial rollout.
