Julia Roberts, 51, On The Routine That Makes Her Look 20 Years Younger
Julia Roberts has been busy this week promoting her latest movie, Ben Is Back, looking seriously amazing every step of the way. I mean, has it really been almost 30 years since we first fell in love with her in Pretty Woman? Yep. Since then, Roberts has gone on to nab tons of memorable roles, win awards, and raise a family. But she has also somehow managed to significantly slow down the aging process. The Oscar-winning actress seriously makes 51 look like 31.
So it isn’t surprising that Lancôme tapped the forever-young Roberts to be their brand ambassador in 2010. In case you are curious just how the A-list actress seems to be aging in reverse, we have details about her beauty regimen-and it's incredibly simple.
Always remove your makeup-every single night!
While you may be tempted to leave your makeup on overnight, Roberts advises against it. “Bi-Facil eye-makeup remover was my first-ever Lancôme purchase. I walked up to the makeup counter at Richards department store back in the '80s, took a deep swallow, and bought it,” she told Hollywood Life earlier this year.
Hydration is key
Roberts claims that she layers on lots of moisturizing products, especially before she travels. “Before I get on an airplane, which I am doing today, I pile up on the skincare products. You couldn’t hug me because I would just slip right away from you,” she said in the same interview with Hollywood Life. One of her favorite serums is Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Serum. In 2017, she revealed to People that another one of her favorite products Lancôme Absolue Precious Cells Advanced Regenerating and Reconstructing Cream SPF 15.
Don’t forget about your hands
Many people tend to focus only on their face when it comes to skincare, but your hands can also show signs of aging. Roberts believes that finding a hydrating hand cream is key. “Absolue Hand is another favorite-it’s like butter. My hands get very dry from washing a lot of dishes, and that hand cream is so hydrating and restorative,” she told Hollywood Life.
Use sunscreen-every day
Roberts makes sure to protect herself-as well as her children-from the sun's harmful rays. “As a responsible parent with three kids who love to be outdoors, I rely totally on a good sunblock,” she told People. We like these top picks from dermatologists!
She brushes her teeth with baking soda
Roberts is most famous for her megawatt smile. You might be surprised to learn that she has a super inexpensive hack for keeping her teeth pearly white. “I brush [my teeth] with baking soda,” she revealed to InStyle in 2012. [My grandfather] would put a big heaping mound of it on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life." If you aren't keen on using boxed baking soda, you can try a toothpaste version of it!
