Tia Mowry Dishes On Her Sensational Style And How Melted Ice Cubes Are Key For Flawless Skin

If you aren’t following Tia Mowry on Instagram, we suggest you do so immediately. Yes, that Tia Mowry. The former star — who was one half of the dynamic duo from our favorite 90’s sitcom “Sister, Sister” — is all grown up and serving some seriously sensational style.

While we’ll never stop loving the matchy-matchy looks Tia and her twin sister Tamera served up each week, we’re thrilled that Tia has fabulously forged a personal style that deserves its own spotlight.

We’re particularly impressed with how Tia, who is married to fellow actor Cory Hardrict and the mother to her 3-year-old son Cree, has managed to seamlessly transition from teen TV star to red carpet style star. Her penchant for teaming classic fashion pieces with edgier finds is inspiring — and we love how she rocks “Poetic Justice” braids one day and mesmerizes us with her halo of curls the next day.

It was only right that we reach out to the “Instant Mom” actress to get the scoop on this awesome style transformation. She not only dished about creating her own look, but she also shared advice on online shopping, and how melting a green tea ice cube on her face every morning keeps her skin fresh and flawless. Seriously.

TM: I work with Kim Kimble, who is an amazing hairstylist, and I owe my hair growth to her. Basically she told me to co-wash my hair every single day, because it will stimulate my hair to grow. Basically I after I wash it and it’s still wet I put Morrocanoil or Argan oil in my hair and then I’ll go ahead and use a product by DevaCurl.

HPS: Our boss Arianna Huffington is big on thriving — or creating a life of well-being, wisdom, and wonder. How do you thrive?
TM: How I thrive is very simple. My son bought my perspective back to focusing on and appreciating the simple things in life. It’s about just being with my family — whether that’s waking up in bed next to my husband under the comforter and just hugging or walking down the street and holding my son’s hand. Just appreciating that he’s there to hold my hand. I have a quote that I live by: “Where there is appreciation all things flow.” So, I’m just very grateful that I can grab my son’s hand and be with my husband. I also thrive by taking care of myself, which means making sure that I stay healthy, workout and eat healthy. It’s basically just giving back to myself. It’s ok to focus on yourself and take care of yourself — that way you can take care of the loved ones around you as well. >A photo posted by tiadmowry (@tiadmowry) on Jun 8, 2014 at 5:21pm PDT

HPS: Last but not least, how would you finish this sentence: “I feel the most beautiful when…TM: I’m confident.
