REVEALED: THE SECRETS BEHIND HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER'S FLAWLESS SKIN
From acne to sun spots, celebrities might appear perpetually red carpet ready, but they deal with the same skin issues as the rest of us. So, how do they manage to look so good?
Here, beauty experts at Australian cosmetic clinic YouthLab examine the skincare routines of some of Australia’s A-listers and reveal the treatments they recommend to tackle common imperfections and maintain that flawless glow.
MARGOT ROBBIE
Despite her radiant looks, Margot Robbie has dealt with sensitive, acne-prone skin for many years. To tackle this, she embraces a holistic approach, prioritising gut health and stress management alongside her skincare routine.
A gut and skin-boosting supplement such as The Beauty Chef’s Glow Inner Beauty Essential includes vitamin C to help boost collagen production and zinc to support healthy hair and nails. This bio-fermented beauty powder also provides vitamin A, broad-spectrum B vitamins and more probiotics and postbiotics for gut-biome health.
The busy starlet, currently working on a live-action Monopoly movie, will use a cleansing oil to remove impurities without stripping the skin's natural barrier.
Although it may seem counterproductive for blemished skin, cleansing with oil helps to balance sebum production and prevents acne-prone skin from being over-stripped.
PHOEBE TONKIN
Famous for her roles in The Vampire Diaries and H2O: Just Add Water, Phoebe Tonkin has been candid about her journey with mild acne since her teenage years. Her hectic filming schedule and regular makeup use make finding the right skincare routine crucial.
Phoebe prioritises a glowing, hydrated complexion and may use supplements that contain antioxidants to nourish the skin from within.
Probiotic elixirs like The Beauty Chef’s Antioxidant Inner Beauty Boost provide broad-spectrum probiotics to help support gut health as well as vitamin C to tackle oxidative stress to the skin.
The actress's glowing skin may also be due to in-clinic rejuvenation treatments like microneedling facials, which invigorate the skin by encouraging collagen production and improving surface texture.
A spokesperson from YouthLab said: “By showcasing that even celebrities have skin imperfections, we can help challenge and dismantle unrealistic beauty standards that are often perpetuated by media and advertising.
“This, coupled with realistic product and treatment recommendations, promotes a more inclusive and realistic view of beauty.”
ISLA FISHER
Self-confessed “low maintenance” Perth actress Isla Fisher certainly works harder than she lets on, given how glowing her skin is.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic star has been known to utilise the benefits of facial oils, gua sha, and lymphatic massages to keep her skin luminous.
Products like Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Facial Oil combine vitamins C and E with ferulic acid to boost the skin’s repair mechanisms and nourish the complexion.
In-clinic treatments Isla may explore to maintain her youthful look include hydra facials, which exfoliate and hydrate the skin with essential nutrients.
The mother of three may also undergo LED facials, which are a time-efficient treatment that can help treat fine lines and dull skin
ROSE BYRNE
New South Wales native Rose Byrne has been candid about her beauty regime and her passion for protecting skin against the sun.
Speaking on her first time in the US, Rose previously stated how shocked she was at the American’s lack of suncare, explaining how the risks of skin cancer and sun damage are taught at an early age in Australia.
In addition to effective sun protection, Rose enjoys products that leave her skin feeling refreshed.
Retinol serums like Cosmedix’s Serum 16 use the vitamin A formula to boost cell turnover and reveal fresher skin.
The Bridesmaids star is also no stranger to intensive light therapies to tackle fine lines and wrinkles, opting for LED light masks to provide healing properties.
