If 30 is the new 20, given how these women look, 50 must be the new 30. Some of our favorite Black celebs have clearly stumbled upon the fountain of youth, and all we want to know is: What’s the skincare routine, sis?

Whether it’s due to genetics, everyday maintenance, or a killer workout routine, many of Black Hollywood’s elite have defied age-related expectations.
