‘Your Face Is Gorgeous’: Fans Want Nene Leakes’ Beauty Secrets for Her ‘Bedtime Glow’

Nene Leakes is baring it all for the ‘Gram. Leakes, a longtime cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” gave fans a glimpse of her natural beauty, and now her social media followers are begging her for the inside scoop on her skincare routine.

The Swagg boutique founder uploaded an up-close selfie to her Instagram page on March 30. Leakes seemed to be sitting comfortably in her rose-colored bedroom. The mother of two wore simple accessories to go along with her nighttime attire. She covered her natural sandy-colored hair with a black beanie and sported a neutral makeup look. As she wrote in her post, she was planning to tune in to the Bravo show, “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” Leakes perched her lips in a duck lip pose before she snapped her photo.

“Gimme a kiss! I done took my wig off and over here bout to lay down and watch WWHL at 11pm on @bravotv. You gone watch? #byewig,” she wrote in her caption. Her 3.4 million followers seemingly admired her nightwear ensemble, and they were convinced that Leakes’ face had a special “bedtime glow.”

“Your skin is amazing,” a fan wrote.

“Wow your skin is glowing Nene what’s your secret,” a second user asked.

“NeNe Leakes you are a very gorgeous looking sister you go girl💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕💕👏🏼👏🏼,” a third user virtually appaluded.

“Your face is gorgeous. Did you do your face? It looks professional,” a fifth user asked.

A sixth user said, “You’re looking fantastic my dear ❤️.”

The television personality shared her secret to clear, healthy-looking skin, on an episode of the syndicated talk show, “The Doctors.” Her skincare regimen shocked the audience after they learned that she uses very basic products to maintain a blemish-free face.

Leakes implied that her nighttime regimen is very simple and the products she uses for her glowy caramel skin can be purchased at a local supermarket. She shared that she washes her face every day with a white bar of Dove soap. “I take my makeup off everyday. Of course, I wear moisturizer, and I’m a little blessed in good genes,” she said.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
