Brooke Shields, 56, shares the skincare products she swears by for a radiant, youthful-looking complexion.
Her favorites include the True Botanicals Renew Nourishing Cleanser and the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
“I love anything that’s pampering and I’ll try almost anything,” Shields said in a recent interview.
It’s no secret that former supermodel Brooke Shields always looks stunning—on and off the red carpet. And if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably been wondering what the 56-year-old’s secret is to glowing skin.
In a recent interview with Vogue, the actress revealed her skincare routine and the products she loves to help her achieve glowing skin: True Botanicals Renew Nourishing Cleanser, 111SKIN Sub-Zero De-Puffing Eye Mask, True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum, Mount Lai Jade Tension Melting Massager for Face & Neck, Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, and Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40.
Surprisingly, Shields admitted that skincare was not always at the front of her mind growing up. “I never really spent a great deal of time on my skin or my face because it was a job to me, the minute I would finish work I would wash all the makeup off my face. I really didn’t prioritize as much as I should have,” she said.
This means there’s still hope for all of us who also didn’t pay much attention to our skin during our formative years. So, to help you get your best glowing complexion, we’ve listed Shields’s easy-to-do routine below, including the skincare products she loves using to keep her skin moisturized and radiant.
First, she cleanses her face.
As a True Botanicals ambassador, it’s no surprise that she loves using the True Botanicals Renew Nourishing Cleanser, which she says works really well for her skin. “I like this cleanser because it gets all the dirt, it doesn’t have any residue but it also is really gentle on my skin,” said Shields in the video.
This face wash is designed to gently remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin. The brand also notes on the site that it’s especially good for those dealing with dullness, dryness, and wrinkles. Its formula is filled with nourishing ingredients like green tea leaf extract, glycerin, and aloe vera. Green tea is also a key ingredient in preventing early signs of aging in the skin.
“The catechins (antioxidants that may prevent cell damage) in green tea can decrease inflammation associated with aging, as well as protect against sunburns and potentially long-term UV damage,” said Renee Snyder, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of Keys Soulcare and W3LL People, in a previous interview for Prevention.
Her favorite eye patches de-puff and lift the skin.
Next, she follows up with the 111SKIN Sub-Zero De-Puffing Eye Mask. She gently applies each underneath her eyes and smooths them by running her fingers across the patches. “Yesterday I had these on for about an hour and it all shriveled up,” she said with a chuckle. This under-eye patch works to alleviate puffiness and dark circles while brightening up the eye area. Its ingredients include vitamin E, an antioxidant that works to protect the skin from free radicals and support healthy cell function, according to the brand.
The facial serum she uses targets mature skin concerns.
“The first product I apply to my skin is the True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum, said Shields. “It just really skins into my skin so well and chebula is a very, very powerful antioxidant for the skin,” she adds.
Crafted with a unique blend of hydrating ingredients, this anti-aging serum works to create an overall brighter and smoother complexion. Its key active ingredient, chebula, is an ayurvedic fruit and one of the most bioactive and powerful antioxidants in nature (according to the brand). It also helps to target signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
She uses a beauty roller to “wake up” her face.
Following up with her beauty tool, the Mount Lai Jade Tension Melting Massager for Face & Neck, Shields rolls it all over her face. “The circulation that I feel when I roll...if you can tell, there’s like a pinker quality to my skin. And I feel like it’s waking up my face, waking up my skin,” she adds.
This massager is designed for both the face and neck. And the brand claims it can help sculpt and add visible definition to your facial features, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and firm the look of your skin over time.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable.
Next, she moves on to sunscreen, squeezing out a dime-sized amount of the Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 onto her finger. “This one’s got a little tint to it. I wish that I had worn more sunscreen as a kid,” she said.
Formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, this multitasking sunscreen works to protect and improve the skin’s hydration levels for a refreshed-looking complexion. With a 4.4-star rating, Amazon shoppers rave about how glowy and well-rested their skin looks after using this product.
She preps her lips before applying makeup.
“This is my favorite, it’s a lip sleeping mask,” said Shields as she applied the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask all over her pout. This leave-on lip mask is made to work while you sleep and contains a unique moisture wrap ingredient that works to lock in moisture, keeping your lips soft and nourished.
After rubbing the product all over her lips, Shields finishes off her skincare routine by saying, “I feel glowy, I feel refreshed, I feel ready.”
