Down<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s another secret to Nia\u2019s age-defying beauty: her genes.<\/p>\n<p>Long is the definition of the phrase \u201cshe gets it from her mama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[My mom] blessed me with good skin,\u201d the actress told NewBeauty. \u201cShe\u2019s in her late 60s and looks amazing\u2014I hope to look as good as her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another factor that could be contributing to her glowing skin is her healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI eat healthy, organic foods and keep the weight off with a lot of yoga, Pilates, and jump rope, which I try and do every day for the length of at least one song,\u201d she told NewBeauty.<\/p>\n<h2>And no, she\u2019s never had Botox.<\/h2>\n<p>While she says she\u2019s not against \u201canything that makes you feel and look good,\u201d she says she believes you should only do what\u2019s needed and for her the time hasn\u2019t come yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens is when you\u2019re under the lights all day, whether you have oily or dry skin, you start to feel dry,\u201d Nia explained in an interview with Glamour. \u201cAnd what I\u2019ve learned over the years is\u2014Chantecaille has this amazing rosewater\u2014and I spray the rosewater on my face, and then I dab a little bit of moisturizer in the areas where I see the foundation or powder is cakey. It just instantly brightens your skin.<\/p>\n<p>But the key is you can\u2019t wipe, you have to dab.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-213079553\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Nia Long became notable in the \u201990s with her roles in Boyz in the Hood, Friday, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
