Vanessa Williams’ Skincare Tips For Making 57 Look More Like 37
It’s no shock that Vanessa Williams, the first African-American woman to be crowned Miss America and TV star, is an expert on skincare. The “Save the Best For Last” singer has managed to look ageless since the ’80s, and we’re all wondering what she does to look that radiant. Luckily the mother of four has been vocal about her skincare secrets for years, so we’re all able to reap the benefits. Here are the five tips she swears by.
She’s all about sunscreen.
When Allure asked Vanessa’s daughters, Jillian and Melanie about the advice their mom has given them, Jillian responded, “Wear sunscreen!” Williams also told WebMD that it was her the one habit she wishes she would've started sooner. “I grew up in the ’70s, so it was baby oil and reflectors. I probably wouldn’t have the majority of the wrinkles I have now if I had paid attention to that.”

She gets in-office treatments with her dermatologist.
Vanessa has always been open about the treatments she receives at her doctor's office, even posting a video on her Instagram receiving a botox treatment. She told New Beauty, “My main focus is on skin tightening and collagen boosting. I’ve found that a combination of microcurrent therapy, Ultherapy, and Botox has been most effective for me.”

She uses at-home beauty tools.
Aside from treatments at her trusted dermatologist, Vanessa loves using at-home tools as well! She told Madame Noire, “One device I have is called Ziip Beauty. You plug it in, put your serum on. It has a beeper. You do one side of your face, the other side of your face. You can do it as often as you like. The energy to your face helps tighten so you don’t have to…you know” referring to plastic surgery.
She never forgets hydration.
The mom of four's focus on hydration starts from the inside out. She told ABC News, “juicing, hot water and lemon—those are all great cleansers to keep you hydrated.” But her hydration tips don't stop there. She told New Beauty, “I’m obsessed with this yummy skin moisturizer from the Dead Sea that I discovered when I got a mud wrap in Israel two years ago.” The Avanti Mineral Enriched Moisturizing Cream is formulated from Dead Sea Minerals, which Vanessa's totally into.
She doesn’t forget about her eyes.
Vanessa is all about “starting each morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated” she told New Beauty. As a multi-talented celeb, she's often under bright lights that leave her eyes dry and irritated. “I hate waking up with dry eyes, so my current morning must-have is Clear Eyes Pure Relief Multi-Symptom eye drops. They’re great for moisturizing my eyes and getting rid of irritation right away.”
