Coco Jones has been on a high since her first Grammy win and has been capitalizing on the success. The "ICU" performer recently stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show to talk about her win, shared her beauty secrets with Vogue, and now she has revealed her nighttime skincare routine to Harper's Bazaar. The 26-year-old explained that when it comes to her skincare, she's all about simplicity and credits her dermatologist for helping her skin after dealing with adult acne.
"I learned from my dermatologist that it really doesn't take all of those fancy glamorous products or a DIY. It really just takes good ingredients that have been working all of their lives," she said. Read below to see Coco's step-by-step nighttime routine for healthy skin.
Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover Balm

The Bel-airactress uses Clinique's Take the Day Off makeup remover balm to remove her makeup, starting with her lashes. "This eyeliner is extremely, extremely heavy, so I like products that don't dry me out while they're removing whatever makeup I had on during the day. And I find that this cleansing balm really does the job there," she said.
Salicylic Acid

While cleansing her skin with The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Coco opened up about her skincare journey. The singer revealed that she went through some ups and downs when finding the right products. "So, initially, as a teen, didn't struggle with any acne. It was really more when I got into like my early 20s that I started dealing with acne and definitely dark marks. Respect you guys, but God you're annoying," she said.
"So I've tried a lot of DIYs at that time, YouTube was my favorite and I was learning all of these things and how to craft all of these concoctions, ended up burning my skin. And basically, I fell in love with aloe vera because then it was like a healing agent."
Her trials, however, ended up leading her to get professional help. "But really what I realized is that all of those products are like really cute and fun and sometimes it's nice to make like a little dry oatmeal mask or put the cucumbers over your eyes--but really, you need a dermatologist," she continued. "You need a professional who does this to tell you what's going on."
Urban Skin Rx Balancing Witch Hazel Toner

The next step in her nighttime skincare routine is toner. "I love Urban Skin RX. So this is their Balancing Witch Hazel Toner and I like it because it's not like too intense," she explained. "So I just go all around the face with this toner. I don't really like go under my eyes too much because I know that's the most sensitive skin."
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum

When it comes to serums, the multi-hyphenate can't get enough of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. "I think it's just good for all-over balancing, toning, and a lot of really good properties. And I also just love the way it feels on my skin. I like it. It feels like a layer of like protection," she said.
Salicylic Acid Serum

Coco also uses a salicylic acid serum, and she admitted that sometimes she mixes it with The Ordinary whenever she's in a rush to go to bed.
Topicals Faded Serum

For dark spots, Coco uses Topicals Faded serum, which helps brighten the skin. "If I have dark spots, I will just like tap it on my dark spots and not my entire face and just, you know, let them do what they do while I go slumber," she said.
Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream

An important step in any skincare routine is moisturizer. Moisturizing the skin is typically the final step as it keeps your skin from being dry. The "Double Back" artist's go-to moisturizer is Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. "I love it. It's light, but it also really does hold weight and make you feel very refreshed and hydrated."
She went on to talk about how good it smells and how she likes to massage the cream into her skin as she pretends like she is at a spa.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

In the words of Coco, "No crusty lips. It's 2024." She ended her routine with Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, putting on a thick layer for it to "settle in."

The show is exactly what you’d expect when you put a media pro and a sports legend together—a mix of real talk, unfiltered moments, and guest interviews that feel like family kickbacks. As the duo wraps up their first season, Rocsi sat down with xoNecole to talk about teaming up with Deion, the wildest moments on set, and why streaming platforms like Tubi are shaking up the talk show world.

Deion Sanders had been dreaming of hosting a talk show, and when Tubi came calling, it was only right he made it happen. But before he found the perfect co-host, he held auditions with different women for the spot.
Lucky for us, Rocsi threw her hat in the ring, and the connection was instant. “You just can’t buy chemistry like we have,” she tells us. “We are legit like big brother, little sister—fighting, cracking jokes, telling each other off. When you watch the show, it’s like watching family.”
Mixing News, Culture & Sports—Minus the Snooze
With We Got Time Today, Rocsi and Deion cover everything from the latest headlines to celebrity tea and, of course, sports. But instead of stiff, rehearsed segments, the show keeps it loose and unpredictable.
“We’re not breaking the mold—it’s not rocket science,” Rocsi jokes. “We just bring our own flair, our authenticity, and our personalities to it. Deion has firsthand experience in sports, so when we talk about athletes, he brings a different perspective.”
And the best part? Unlike traditional talk shows that rush through quick interviews, We Got Time Today actually takes its time. “A lot of shows might give you one or two segments with a guest,” Rocsi says. “With us, we actually sit down and have real-life conversations.”
Her Top Guests (So Far!)
From music icons to relationship experts, the show has already had some unforgettable guests—but a few stand out for Rocsi.
“Ice Cube was our first guest, and he’s just legendary,” she says. “Kirk Franklin had us cracking up when he broke into a full choir freestyle for our Christmas special. And anytime we get Dr. Bryant on to put Deion in the hot seat? That’s my favorite!”
And of course, there’s Nick Cannon. “Nick was amazing,” she adds. “You already know he’s going to bring the energy and say something wild.”
Tag-Team Hosting with Deion: The Inside Scoop
While Deion Sanders is best known for his football greatness, Rocsi says he’s also one of the funniest people she’s ever worked with.
“He’s goofy—like, really goofy,” she laughs. “A lot of people didn’t know that side of him, but now they do. He can crack a joke, and if you’re too sensitive, good luck, because he will go in. But the best part? I throw it right back at him! Sometimes we just look at each other like, ‘Okay, that was a good one.’”
But beyond the laughs, she admires his insane work ethic. “Watching him juggle everything he does is just super admirable,” she says.

For those wondering if We Got Time Today feels like 106 & Park 2.0, Rocsi says it’s a whole different vibe.
“The only comparison I’d make is that it’s a destination for the culture,” she explains. “It’s a platform where our people can come, feel safe, and have real conversations. But other than that, this is Deion’s world—we’re just having fun in it.”
The Talk Show Shake-Up: Why This Show Hits Different
Unlike traditional networks, We Got Time Today lives exclusively on Tubi, proving that streaming platforms are changing how we watch talk shows.
“Tubi is giving more people opportunities and making content more accessible,” Rocsi says. “Deion is a huge Tubi fan—he literally loves Black cinema—so it just made sense for him. And honestly? He’s got me watching it too!”
Real Ones Only: Women Holding Each Other Down
Rocsi credits her best friend, Chantelle, for always keeping her grounded. “She kept pouring into me, reminding me of who I am,” she shares. Even Deion Sanders makes sure to give her flowers, often calling her “the hostess with the most.”
In the industry, she’s built lasting bonds with women like Julissa Bermundez, Angie Martinez, and Angela Yee. “Julissa and I still kick it—her house is basically Sephora, so I just shop there,” she jokes. She also cherishes her friendships with Melyssa Ford and Robin Roberts, who have offered unwavering support. “Robin has always been there for me,” Rocsi says, reflecting on the wisdom she’s gained from the legendary journalist.
With the show’s first season wrapping up, Rocsi is grateful for the experience and excited for what’s next. “We’re having a good time, and the audience can feel that,” she says.
And if you haven’t tuned in yet? Well, Rocsi and Deion got time—so you might as well make some too.
