Pinkett Smith's wrinkle-free complexion may lead you to believe that her skincare routine is extremely complex and filled with every expensive beauty product on the market; however, her anti-aging secrets are much simpler than you would expect.

For the most part, Pinkett Smith likes to let her skin breathe and has a minimalistic approach to her makeup routine, unlike many Hollywood figures who get all dolled up for the big screen. “Even on makeup days, I try go to light,” she said on her Facebook show Red Talk Table. “I do a lot of steam on my skin. On days off, I use hardly anything. I try to give the skin a break. Less is more.”

The star is also low-maintenance when it comes to her beauty favorites. Pinkett Smith also announced on her show that her go-to skincare product is a $4 astringent by Clean & Clear. Yep, the salicyclic acid-based one you can pick up right at the drug store. “It’s one of my favorite products,” she said. “It is brilliant...It pulls all the stuff out, and it closes the pores as well. It’s awesome.”

She also stays active and eats healthily to maintain a youthful look at 47. The star frequently hits up the gym with her family and has been active her entire life. Pinkett Smith told Shape that her mom Adrienne encouraged her to try horseback riding, dancing, and gymnastics. (Her 65-year-old mom is extremely fit also).

“Sitting at home on a Saturday or Sunday was never an option,” she told the outlet, and today, Pinkett Smith is likely moving her body every day of the week. The actress has encouraged those same principles of exercising to her own family and often works out with her husband, Will Smith, and kids. “They love to go to the gym with Will and me, but surfing and snowboarding is what we do together as a family for fun,” Jada told Shape.

I mean, Pinkett Smith's fans never fail to call out how the actress looks exactly like her 18-year-old daughter, Willow Smith. On her recent makeup-free post, one fan commented, "Ur daughters twin 🔥😍❤️🙌," and we couldn't agree more!

But overall, Smith is inspired by her mother's mentality of not letting her age define her. “My mother keeps such a youthful spirit. She’s young at heart. She takes really good care of herself. We both do," she told Today. "Eating well, exercising, drinking water. We’re both really on it,” said Pinkett Smith.

I guess we can expect a wealth of age-defying photos of Pinkett Smith for many years to come, and no, we are definitely not complaining.
