They got that glow, we got that glow! But as the temperature begins to cool down, moving from hot girl summer to hot nerd fall and whatever mood moniker Megan Thee Stallion bestows in the winter, your skin still requires proper care to maintain healthy, nourished skin all-year-long. Now as you contemplate how much energy you want to put into maintaining your glow, do note that Black skin is more prone to displaying the effect of frigid temperature, including dry, irritated, itchy, flaking, and ashy skin. To top it off, this can lead to skin conditions, according to Nada Elbuluk, MD, an assistant professor in the dermatology department at New York University School of Medicine and board member of the Skin of Color Society in Health Magazine . “Any scratching, inflammation, [and] irritation is more likely to lead to darkening of the skin, or what we call hyperpigmentation. In darker skin, we’re even more cautious of that because that pigmentation can last for a long time.” So, if you wanna make sure you glow all Autumn-long and beyond, check out these 10 skincare products black celebs swear by.

Source: Gotham / Getty No matter what type of skin you have, somewhere along the line you’ve dealt with redness. Maybe from sun exposure or irritation, but we can all agree that it can be a pain to get rid of. And it always seems to come at the worse time from when you have a hot date planned or in Winnie Harlow ‘s case a fashion event to attend. Now, the model is keeping redness to the curb with a non-conventional method that actually works (we are actually quite surprised). In honor of New York Fashion Week , the beauty filmed her makeup routine with Vogue to give fans a glimpse on how the superstar gets ready for a night out. During the video, she shared the tricks she uses on her vitiligo skin patches , including Visine eye drops that she says helps to keep her redness at bay. “They make your eyes really white but they don’t burn like a lot of eyedrops tend to do,” Winnie says while placing Visine drops into the sides of her eyes. “Sometimes too what I like to do is use Visine eye drops on the white parts of my skin to take the redness out.”She then proceeds to rub the drops into the white parts of her skin caused by vitiligo. “I have really bad allergies so I always have Visine on me anyway,” she explains. “I thought if it whitens my eyes, wouldn’t it whiten my skin? And I tried it and it does.” Vitiligo is a skin condition where pigment-producing cells die or stop functioning causing whitish patches to develop on the skin. Millions of people all over the world are living with this condition that affects different areas of the body including skin, hair and the retina. Before applying the Visine to her skin, Winnie first cleansed her skin with a homemade mask consisting of manuka honey, apple cider vinegar and Amazon’s top-selling skincare product, the Aztec Secret Healing Indian Clay. The result, gorgeous glowing skin that we would have never known to have redness. Intrigued? Check out Winnie’s Vogue makeup tutorial below to learn some new tips and tricks!

Back in July we reported that Young Dro was arrested for battery and family violence when he smashed a banana pudding in his girlfriend’s face during a domestic dispute. Today, we get word via TMZ that Drosephine Baker has been sentenced to 12 months in prison but will only be serving 70 days and he’s already gotten credit for the 20 days that he’s already served. It is also reported that he will get an extra day of credit for each day of good behavior. Dro could be home as soon as October 5. That said, it isn’t all roses yet, the rapper will be on probation for the duration of the 12 month sentence and one slip up could land him back in the bing. He will be required to attend violence counseling in addition to staying clean from drugs and alcohol. Dro will also have to forfeit all of the weapons that he owns. Could have been worse. He better tighten up.

Source: Noel Vasquez / Getty Earlier this month we reported that Empire actor Terrence Howard announced that he would be done acting following the conclusion of this season of filming. He was asked about decision on before the Emmy’s this past Sunday. His answer was very… bizarre. Terrence Howard explaining why he left Empire is the funniest thing you’d see today. Lmaooo pic.twitter.com/OeTHSZn1Rz — JAGS (@EtniesJags) September 24, 2019 “I’ve spent 37 years pretending to be people, so that people can pretend to watch and enjoy what I’m doing. I made some discoveries in my own personal life with the science that Pythagorus was searching for I was able to open up the flower of life properly and find the real wave conjugations that we have been looking for 10,000 years. Why would I continue to walk on water for tips when I’ve got an entire generation to teach a whole new world.” It appears that Terrence Howard believes he has found a greater purpose in life than just acting. Howard continued to talk about frequencies and wavelengths in life that make things make more sense. “All energy in the universe is expressed in motion, all motion is expressed in waves, all waves are curves so where do the straight lines, so when I took the flower of life and opened it properly I found a whole new wave conjugation that exposed space.” The second part of that answer really leaves more questions than it answers. But Howard seems pretty set on being done with acting, and appears to be moving into conspiracy theory territory. Nonetheless, I wish Terrance Howard prosperity in his life after acting. The new season of Empire premiered last night and will come on Tuesday night’s on FOX.

Months before Laura Jallali was claiming to be pregnant , her son came for her wedding … and basically told Aladin that he didn't trust or like him. Is Liam just being a huge jerk? Or … is he expressing some very real concerns about his mother's happiness and her future? And will the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way spoilers we know change how viewers feel about this very awkward moment? On this week's 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way , Aladin confronted Laura's son, Liam, while they spent time in a bath house. Now, in case you missed the episode, this wasn't a weird overture. Bath houses are very common in a lot of places (yes, they exist in the United States, too). And no, you won't get to see Aladin flaunt his sculpted body in whatever way you're imagining, either. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. As you can see in the video that we included, Aladin and Liam remain fully clothed. “You know, it’s like tradition, this, for our wedding,” Aladin explains to Liam, Laura's adult son. He's clearly just making conversation — putting off his more confrontational questions. “You know,” he continues. “Like, you come to the bath with all your friends, you know?” “When you prepare for your wedding, it’s a lot of stress. A lot,” Aladin correctly states. He adds: “So this day, like, the day of relax, you know?” Speaking to the camera, Aladin expresses his frustration with Liam. “He come across the world,” he remakrs. “And then he will prefer to stay in the hotel.” “It’s unbelievable,” Aladin expresses. “It’s bother me,” he admits. “Because he’s not show up for two days in my wedding.” “It’s weird, right?” Aladin asks. Now, Liam explains to him that he was really, genuinely sick. Traveling and then eating unfamiliar foods in an unfamiliar environment can absolutely do you in. Vacations are sometimes ruined that way. “Okay, that’s fine,” Aladin says. “But I feel like maybe you have problem. Maybe you want to tell me something.” “I mean yes, I did have some complaints about you,” Liam reluctantly admits. “And” he reveals. “I did make some comparisons to men in the past.” Liam stresses that this is not a personal beef that he has with Aladin — that Aladin didn't say or do something wrong, exactly. “It’s not that you offended me,” he promises his mother's new husband. “it’s the way I’ve always been with my mother’s past relationships,” LIam explains. “And you’re not any different.” “So,” he concludes. “I’m just going to leave it at that.” All kinds of awkward, folks. This conversation has really left a lot of fans divided. Some see Liam as an awkward, confrontational guy who's unwilling to let his mother live her life. Others think that he may have real concerns, and that he's seen a pattern in Laura's past choices in partners that we, the viewers, have not. (Suffice it to say that he's not the only guy who tries to look out for his mom who has a history of making disastrous choices in husbands) Given the recent allegations about Laura and Aladin's relationship , Liam may have been right on the money. Here's a hint: last we checked, Laura was hanging out with Evelin Villegas. Yes, really.
When the world first learned that Tyler Cameron was dating Gigi Hadid, it was widely assumed that the attraction was purely physical and that the two of them would go their separate ways following a few weeks of very photogenic sexual escapades. Instead, something wholly unexpected has taken place: Against all odds, it seems that Tyler and Gigi have triumphed over their own superior genetics to form a really ridiculously good-looking monogamous couple. Tyler gushes about Gigi every chance that he gets. He even attended the funeral of Hadid’s grandmother , a move that reportedlty surprised the model’s loved ones, who did not realize she and Tyler had gotten so serious. Now, we’re learning that Tyler has made the ultimate sacrifice by passing up additional fame and the attention of few dozen single women in order to pursue his relationship with Gigi. As you’ve probably heard by now, Peter Weber has been named the new Bachelor. It seems the title could have been Tyler’s but he opted out, as he no longer considers himself a single man. “Yeah, it was something we talked about,” Cameron recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Where I was at at my life … I just didn’t think it was where I wanted to be. My heart wasn’t in it.” “I just I sat on it, thought about it, and my heart wasn’t in it,” he further explained. “And that’s something you have to be fully invested in. I was on the other side of it as a contestant, which is a much easier role than being the lead of the show.” Perhaps in an effort to soften the blow for Hannah Brown — who asked Tyler on a date after colossally effing up by dumping him in favor of Jed Wyatt — Chris Harrison claims Tyler made the decision not so that he could settle down with Gigi, but so that he caould continue to play the field “If Tyler is bouncing around from girl to girl and loving the life and enjoying the limelight, which, by the way, good on him,” Harrison told ET. “That’s fine. If that’s what you want to do right now, I don’t blame him,” the host continued. “He’s probably enjoying life really, really well — but that’s not someone we’re going to want to have as our Bachelor or Bachelorette,” added Harrison. “So, it’s about sincerity. It’s about where you are in your life. And if that’s where he is in his life, then he’s not the guy for us.” That’s mighty kind of you Chris, but we think it’s pretty clear that Tyler only has one rose to give out these days, and it’s got Gigi’s name all over it.
Nicole Murphy , 51, appeared on The Wendy Williams Show today to tell her story behind the smooch that ran Lela Rochon off the internet temporarily.
