Face Forward - I wash with <i>Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser</i> or with a warm towel and then I follow up with a cold towel. I moisturize with <i>Olay Regenerist</i>. I’ve tried other creams, but nothing works better than Regenerist.

Brown Skin - I received a product at the BET Awards from a Black esthetician named Dr. Susan Taylor: &lt;i&gt;Rx For Brown Skin&lt;/i&gt;. I used her system the entire time I was pregnant. My skin was still looking really great even at eight months and I thought, ‘Is this the pregnancy?’ Nope, it was the system! I used her cleanser, toner, moisturizing cream, and exfoliants. I love it!

Bye-Bye Dry - I use thicker creams during the winter months because I get so dry! I love &lt;i&gt;Carol’s Daughter’s Jamaican Punch Body Butter&lt;/i&gt;.

Hair Care - For at-home hair care, I use &lt;i&gt;Wen&lt;/i&gt; on myself and on my daughter. &lt;i&gt;Wen Healthy Hair Care System&lt;/i&gt; makes our hair easy to manage, especially if you wear a lot of braids.

Tina's Tresses - I don’t really do my own hair when I take my weave out. Asking Erica to do it is like waiting on Jesus to return. I use truckloads of Kim Kimble products. &lt;i&gt;Kimble Hair Care&lt;/i&gt; works well on natural hair and weaves. I like the &lt;i&gt;Silk Treatment Leave-in Conditioner&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Hair Butter&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Shine Serum&lt;/i&gt;. She styles us for most of our red carpet events, TV appearances and music videos. She’s been with us for the last three years.

Kimble Knows Best - The red is gone and I’m more blonde now. Erica’s hair is much lighter, too. Our hair is much shorter and we’re more curly than straight. Kim Kimble actually told me it was time to switch up my color and she never goes wrong, so I’m blonde for now.

All Made Up - I used a lot of &lt;i&gt;Make Up For Ever&lt;/i&gt; on the set of “Sunday Best.” I like that it makes my skin look very natural. I also love &lt;i&gt;MAC&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Maybelline&lt;/i&gt; and I have tons of Laura Mercier.

Fit For a Queen - I love the &lt;i&gt;Cover Girl Queen Collection Natural Hue Mineral Bronzer&lt;/i&gt;. My foundation is a mixture of &lt;i&gt;Black Opal&lt;/i&gt; and Queen’s foundations. I also love &lt;i&gt;YSL&lt;/i&gt; lip-glosses and mascaras. I like a natural and clean look, but I gotta stop living in the land of brown! I gotta play with some other colors. I’d love to try out a futuristic cat eye in purple or black.

Baby Beauty - During my pregnancy, I swore by cocoa butter, shea butter and olive oil. My mom has nine kids, so I got a lot of ‘Baby, don’t do that. It will mess up your skin.’ I rubbed a combination of those three on my belly every day, mostly morning and night. Tina loves pure Vitamin E oil.

Veg Out - We take a vegetable supplement called &lt;i&gt;BarleyLife&lt;/i&gt;. It’s full of ground barley leaves and you simply add it to water or juice. When you can’t get all the veggies you need, the supplement helps out.

Stay Flexible - I did a lot of stretching during my pregnancy. Extensive stretching, never endangering. I wasn’t big on yoga. I do 10 minutes of stretching every morning and before bed. It really helped me with backaches. I also stretch before I go on stage. The stretching kept me from waking up in the middle of the night with an aching back.

Walk It Out - I work out mostly when I’m at home and I live in the hills, so I walk to the main streets and up and down those hills.

Get Some Sun - I walk around the neighborhood. We’re not gym people. You have to have the time to do that and we don’t. We also prefer to be outside, so we’ll walk along the beach, or jump rope or work out around the house.
