When it comes to sharing the secrets behind her great skin, Halle Berry is continuing to do the Lord’s work and sittin’ pretty while doing so. As a firm believer in not gatekeeping the products that work for her, the 56-year-old Bruised star shared her favorites from last year that she thinks everyone, especially women, can benefit from in the months to come. “I wanted to share some of my FAVORITE things I think every woman should have in 2023,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post. “Hope these goodies bring you as much joy as they’ve brought me.”
We’d be remiss to come across such recommendations and not share them with the xoNecole readers, so here we are, sharing the tea the Hollywood beauty recently spilled. Scroll for Ms. Berry’s favorite things that keep her skin on glow, inside and out. As Halle says, let's "get into it."
Heal the Need Rescue & Recovery Serum
Olga Lorencin
A long-time user of Olga Lorencin skincare products, Halle has leveled up her beauty routine in 2022 by reaching for this favorite. “You’re going to need this for your face in 2023. Trust me. You put this on, you wake up, you got a new face,” Halle shares in her video. “It happens to me every morning. Believe me.”
This restoring oil-based serum delivers a deeply hydrating and reparative experience to your face thanks to ingredients like avocado oil and marula seed oil. If you want a more even skin tone and an intensely moisturized glow, look no further than this serum.
Knesko Skin Masks
KNESKO
These Reiki-charged, natural collagen masks are coveted and adored by many for a reason. "If you don't know about the KNESKO masks -- face masks, neck masks, lip masks -- get into it," she shares. "These are the best face masks I have found." Prepare to brighten, balance, and rejuvenate in 2023 and beyond.
Akkermansia Probiotics
Pendulum
Halle swears by this probiotic “for ultimate gut health.” “We all know that when your gut is healthy, your organs are healthy, your skin is healthy, your hair is healthy -- everything is healthy when your gut is healthy," she says. "Akkermansia is at a wonderful price point. You don't have to keep it in the refrigerator like some probiotics that are really powerful. This will change your life because it will change your gut."
Virtue Labs Restorative Treatment Mask
Referring to this mask as her "favorite, favorite" hair conditioner of the moment is only one of the things Virtue Labs Restorative Treatment Mask has working in its favor. The deeply hydrating mask is infused with keratin, making it the perfect solution for dry, damaged hair. The lightweight formula transforms brittle strands of all hair types with the help of ultra-nourishing ingredients.

While speaking to xoNecole, Eva shares that she’s a lot like the beloved 1994 character in many ways. “Lyric is so me. She's the odd flower. A flower nonetheless, but definitely not a peony,” she tells us.
“She's not the average flower you see presented, and so she reminds me of myself. I'm a sunflower, beautiful, but different. And what I loved about her character then, and even more so now, is that she was very sure of herself.
"Sure of what she wanted in life and okay to sacrifice her moments right now, to get what she knew she deserved later. And that is me. I'm not an instant gratification kind of a person. I am a long game. I'm not a sprinter, I'm a marathon.
America first fell in love with Eva when she graced our screens on cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model in 2004, which she emerged as the winner. Since then, she's ventured into different avenues, from acting on various TV series like House of Payne to starring on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Je-Caryous Johnson Entertainment
Eva praises her castmates and the play’s producer, Je’Caryous for her positive experience. “You know what? Je’Caryous fuels my audacity car daily, ‘cause I consider myself an extremely audacious woman, and I believe in what I know, even if no one else knows it, because God gave it to me. So I know what I know. That is who Je’Caryous is.”
But the mom of three isn’t the only one in the family who enjoys acting. Eva reveals her daughter Marley has also caught the acting bug.
“It is the most adorable thing you can ever see. She’s got a part in her school play. She's in her chorus, and she loves it,” she says. “I don't know if she loves it, because it's like, mommy does it, so maybe I should do it, but there is something about her.”
Overall, Eva hopes that her contribution to the role and the play as a whole serves as motivation for others to reach for the stars.
“I want them to walk out with hope. I want them to re-vision their dreams. Whatever they were. Whatever they are. To re-see them and then have that thing inside of them say, ‘You know what? I'm going to do that. Whatever dream you put on the back burner, go pick it up.
"Whatever dream you've accomplished, make a new dream, but continue to reach for the stars. Continue to reach for what is beyond what people say we can do, especially as [a] Black collective but especially as Black women. When it comes to us and who we are and what we accept and what we're worth, it's not about having seen it before. It's about knowing that I deserve it.”
