If you've always wondered how celebrities keep their skin looking flawless and glowy at all times, here are some of their skincare secrets.
Exfoliate Regularly
American model Christie Brinkley has exfoliated her skin regularly for 40 years and it's something she attributes to keeping her skin feeling smooth and fresh.
The Obagi 360 Exfoliating Cleanser helps to gently remove dead skin cells that can clog pores to reveal a smooth, soft and radiant complexion. Ideal for all skin types, it's suitable for use twice per day.
If you've got combination or normal-to-oily skin, the Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte is a lightweight lotion formulated with lactic and glycolic acids which exfoliate and promote the natural skin cell turnover process.
Hydration is Key
A simple way to keep your skin hydrated is to apply moisturiser every time you get out of the shower. Leona Lewis puts her glowing skin down to using high quality skincare products, which can be more easily absorbed into the skin.
Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 is an oil-free moisturiser with a gel-like texture that instantly sinks into the skin. It's formulated with super hydrating hyaluronic acid, which leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple.
Incorporating Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops into your skincare routine can also boost your hydration levels, as this moisture-preserving formulation features vitamin B3 which is known as a gold-standard ingredient when it comes to hydrating, soothing, and diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The formulation also contains abyssinian oil and hibiscus oil, both of which are rich in antioxidants, as well as omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids which support the natural skin barrier.
Don't Forget SPF
From a young age, Cate Blanchett's mother emphasised the importance of using sunscreen to protect her pale skin. All complexions can benefit from using a high quality SPF, even on those cloudy or overcast days. There's a facial SPF product to suit all skin types and there are so many benefits of incorporating this step into your morning skincare routine.
Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50+ offers high photoimmuneprotection against UVA, UVB, and infrared rays. Its antioxidant complex also contains green tea, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and vitamins E and C. Best for dry skin types, it won't leave any residue on the surface of your skin.
The Obagi Sun Shield Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 provides protection and a hint of coverage to even out your skin tone. It's available in cool and warm formulations to suit your skin undertones and offers protection from UVA, UVB and infrared rays. The formulation is suitable for combination, dry, normal and oily skin types, making it a popular choice amongst skincare users.
Maintain a Balanced Diet
It's important to nourish your body with the vitamins and nutrients needed to support good health. Maintaining a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water will also support the overall health of your skin, helping it to stay clear and healthy.
Lea Michele has said that her skin always looks its best when she's been drinking plenty of water and is well rested. Model and actress Olivia Culpo also takes a holistic approach to skincare, making sure her diet includes plenty of leafy greens as they contain high levels of inflammation-fighting zinc.
