The Truth About Tracee Ellis Ross' Skincare Routine

"My beauty routine is more about how I feel than how it transforms me into some version of myself that I can't keep up with," Tracee Ellis Ross shared with Vogue. Ross takes care of her body and mind as much as she does her skin and hair. In an interview with Elle, Ross also shared that she's all about eating healthy. She's known for her salads and tends to eat big lunches, but enjoys some cereal or a protein smoothie for breakfast. Ross told Elle that she drinks a ton of water and prefers drinking water from a glass instead of a plastic bottle. Ross believes it tastes better that way.

Additionally, Ross told Harper's Bazaar that Acqua Panna is her favorite glass water. She works out at Tracy Anderson's in Los Angeles four times a week. "I feel sexy and beautiful when I do it," she explained. She also doesn't eat much sugar and stays away from alcohol when she's appearing on screen. Ross is also a believer in solid eight-hour nights of sleep, which sometimes isn't easy with her work schedule.

"I like my skin best when it's clean and glowy, and that comes from sleep, hydration, and happiness," Ross told the publication. Products can only get you so far, right?
