We all know Taraji P. Henson as an award-winning actress and mental health advocate, but did you know she’s also a self-care queen? According to Harper's Bazaar, between acting, entrepreneurship, and advocacy, she makes sure to prioritize herself—because, let’s be real, self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity! From her favorite beauty products to fitness and relaxation must-haves, here’s how Taraji keeps her glow strong.


Hair and Body Care: TPH All the Way

When it comes to self-care Taraji P. Henson puts her name on products she actually uses—because why sell something you don’t believe in? Her brand, TPH by Taraji, is her go-to for head-to-toe pampering. “Stop making washing your hair a chore,” she says. “It’s the epitome of self-care.” Some of her faves include:

  • Master Cleanse Scalp Shampoo – Because a healthy scalp is the key to healthy hair.

  • Mint Condition Tingling Scalp Conditioner – That refreshing tingle? Yes, please!

  • Watch Me Whip Body Cream – Hydration is a must!

Of course, she also loves supporting other Black-owned brands like Fenty Beauty, Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross, and Flawless by Gabrielle Union. “I invest in us,” she proudly shares.


Wind Down Like a Boss: Wine & Candles

Taraji doesn’t just sip wine—she owns a wine brand! Her Seven Daughters Moscato is the perfect light and slightly sweet drink for winding down after a long day. “It’s easy on the palate and pairs well with anything,” she says. Bonus: You can even mix it into creative cocktails for a little fun!

And what’s a self-care night without candles? Taraji’s passion for candle-making turned into Light My Fire, her own candle brand under Body by TPH. Whether you’re unwinding after work or setting the mood for a relaxing bath, her scented soy candles are a must-have.

Fitness & Wellness: Mind and Body in Sync

Working out isn’t just about looking good for Taraji—it’s about feeling good. She trains eight times a week (yes, eight!) with her trainer at Force Fitness. “It’s mental for me. I’m a better version of myself when I work out,” she explains.


She’s also big on faith and spirituality. “I’m reading the Bible a lot these days because there’s just so much going on in the world,” she shares. And when it comes to music? She’s all about Tems, an artist she absolutely adores.



Final Words of Self-Care Wisdom

Taraji’s biggest piece of advice? Make time for yourself. “As women, we always put ourselves last. If you have to, pick one day out of the year, tell your husband, ‘Take these kids and get out of my face,’ so you can pour into yourself,” she says. Because when you take care of yourself, you have more to give to others.


So, whether it’s investing in good haircare, lighting a candle, pouring a glass of wine, or hitting the gym, take a page from Taraji’s book—self-care is non-negotiable!
