Serena Williams' Morning Skincare Routine With Daughter Olympia Is Adorably Relatable

From Women's Health

  • Serena Williams just shared her morning skincare routine in a new Instagram video.

  • In it, the tennis pro and 2-year-old daughter Alexis get ready together.

  • The video is adorable and gives fans a peek into Serena's busy life as a mom.


Serena Williams regularly shares BTS photos and videos of her life on Instagram, but her latest post shows just what it’s like for her to go through her morning skincare routine as a mom. Spoiler alert: It's not easy.

"My mornings," the tennis pro wrote simply alongside an Instagram video. In it, Serena washes her face standing next to her adorable 2-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia. (She shares Alexis with husband Alexis Ohanian.) The two are wearing matching PJs, and it could not be cuter. "We’re doing our morning routine. It’s just so fun because this little baby girl pretty much does everything I do," she says.

The video is relatable on so many levels: Alexis lets one rip at one point (she adorably calls it a "puff puff"), and Serena’s Alexa goes off. The two leave the camera for a bit while Serena gets dressed in, like, a minute. "This is just a little bit of my morning," she explains.

At one point, the two start speaking Spanish (apparently Serena speaks Spanish?) before Serena finally gets down to business…nearly four minutes into the video.

She starts off by putting on Trilogy lotion, which she smears all over her face. Serena then moves on to eye serum and shares this nugget of advice: "Eye cream doesn’t work unless you put some serum on before."

"I love my creams,” she adds, before yelling to find out where her daughter is at the moment. Finally, she puts some eye cream on. "Sometimes when my skin is super dry, I also put eye cream on my face," she explains.

Like many busy moms, Serena keeps her skincare routine pretty simple—but based on her glowy and wrinkle-free skin, it's clearly working for her.
