"Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" star Lupita Nyong'o, 32, has recently shared her beauty secrets and they have something to do with avocado oil, Afro comb and Tom's Simply White Natural Fluoride Toothpaste.
"I use avocado oil to wash off my make-up," Nyong'o told InStyle.
According to the "Star Wars" actress, her skin tends to be pretty dry so she needs the extra oil and avocado oil is gentle and natural.
When it comes to her hair, Nyong'o also has her own beauty regimen.
"I wouldn't survive without my Afro comb," said Nyong-o, who recently passed her crown as world's most beautiful woman by the People magazine to her fellow Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock, 50.
For Nyong'o, Afro comb is definitely something that she always has on her. She said, "Let it be known: nothing works better with African hair."
Furthermore, Nyong'o said when it comes to hair, her first stop is a Brooklyn barbers called Levels, where a barber named Jay works. She said she adores the barber as does not cut her all of hair off and he knows when to stop.
Aside from taking care of her skin and her hair, Nyong'o also includes dental care in her beauty secrets. She revealed that she does not trust toothpaste that is too sweet and she does not use toothpaste that tastes like baking soda.
A perfect toothpaste has to be in the middle, according to Nyong'o, who belives that Tom's Simply White Natural Fluoride Toothpaste "has it figured out."
