Charlize Theron's Morning Skincare Routine Is So Freakin' Simple

From Women's Health

  • Charlize Theron is nominated for an Oscar for her role as Megyn Kelly in Bombshell.

  • Throughout her roles, the 44-year-old actress maintains glowing and smooth skin.

  • The keys to Charlize's skincare routine? Sunscreen, moisturizer, and eating well.


Oscar nominee Charlize Theron is 44 years old, and her skin has arguably never looked better. It’s glowy, smooth, and basically flawless all. the. time. Nominated for her role as Megyn Kelly in Bombshell, Charlize (and her skin) are expected to bring it on the red carpet this year.

Of course, Charlize didn’t get her gorgeous glow by phoning it in—she works hard on her skincare routine. Here’s exactly what she does to maintain that fresh-faced look:

Charlize never skips the sunscreen.

The actress told Harper’s Bazaar that she wakes up "really early" to help get her two kids ready for school. "When I wake up, I just rinse my face and put on sunscreen," she said. (She’s a fan of La Prairie Cellular Radiance Emulsion SPF 30, btw.)

"Lip balm and sunblock, always. I wear sunblock every single day," she also told Vogue UK.

She’s big on moisturizer, too.

At night, "I use serum, eye cream, and a really good moisturizer," Charlize told Harper’s Bazaar. The Long Shot alum said she’ll try new stuff, but always likes to go back to "the classics," like Crème de la Mer.

Charlize prioritizes her skin at night.

Mornings are hectic in her house, which is why Charlize spends the majority of time on her skin at bedtime, she told Vogue UK. "I have really learned to take care of my skin at night, so the mornings really are often just a hot washcloth, brushing my teeth, and putting sunblock on," she said.

She gets facials on the reg.

According to Charlize, she gets facials at Mila Moursi in Los Angeles. "Every three weeks, I’ll get a facial," she told Harper’s Bazaar.

Charlize eats well.

Skincare starts from the inside out, which is why Charlize focuses on her diet. She told Harper’s Bazaar that she’s big into "plant-based raw foods."

She’s cool with aging.

"There are days when I really love my face and have no issues with the wrinkles around my mouth or eyes. Then there are days we tell ourselves, 'Oh my god, maybe it’s time to get a face-lift.' And that’s OK," Charlize told InStyle. "It doesn’t mean I don’t want to age. The more we can understand that it’s normal and part of the process, the more we’ll take the pressure off."
