Although the supermodel turned 50 a few years ago, she has been posting more makeup-free pics than ever, and we can see why. In this selfie, with the caption “Recovery mode…” Cindy Crawford looks radiant even after a wild night out. She talked to New Beauty about her realistic approach to aging; she knows she’s not going to look like she’s in her 20s or 30s, so she doesn’t try to. It’s all about healthy eating, good skincare, and exercising for Crawford.
Crawford has her own beauty line, which she developed with her dermatologist called Meaningful Beauty. She has managed to cut down her routine considerably over the years and believes that everyone wants just a few good products and not to be running after the latest fad. According to CR Fashion Book, Crawford uses Meaningful Beauty Triple Exfoliating Treatment two to three times a week and applies a rejuvenating retinol cream every night. She also uses SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily and sleeps on a silk pillowcase to prevent wrinkles.
Gwyneth Paltrow
The glamorous actress has been seen on the red carpet for years with perfect makeup, or on-screen, where she is carefully made up by professional makeup artists. When she turned 44, she decided to make a change and offer her fans a glimpse into what is behind the facade.
She posted this picture and let followers know she is embracing her past and future. She went on to promote her lifestyle brand Goop. If you can’t believe how good her hair and makeup look at her age, she’s not hiding her tricks of the trade. You can order her products online on the Goop website and also read all her secrets for perfect hair and skin.
Jennifer Garner
People tend to think that part of a celebrity’s routine is daily makeup sessions with their makeup and hair people. That is certainly not true for actress Jennifer Garner. Just check out her Instagram to see how she prefers to wear as little makeup as possible in her everyday life.
When she does a photoshoot or has another special occasion that requires makeup, she is adamant about removing it before heading to bed. This tip seems to be a celebrity favorite; according to them, it doesn’t matter how tired you are; make sure to remove every bit of concealer before hitting the hay. A bit of extra effort at night will help prevent breakouts in the morning.
Jessica Alba
Actress and founder of the natural baby and beauty retailer Honest Company, Jessica Alba, shows us her true face in this picture, and it looks beautiful. She has opened up about dealing with acne over the years and says she only got over her skin woes when she started keeping up a consistent skincare routine.
It isn’t a big surprise that her current routine includes her very own products. Alba often posts pics of her skincare regimen, especially Honest Company’s Vitamin C serum. She is also not shy about showing her self-care routines, including mud baths and masks. It sounds like the right way to live if you want seriously great skin, and it’s definitely working for her.
Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps
Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps have been best friends since they were on "Dawson’s Creek" together, and we really don’t want to think about how long ago that was. The two actresses spent a fun-filled day together in Los Angeles and posted a series of selfies, all of which were makeup-free. They captioned the pics, "No makeup, no filters! That's how we roll."
We’re not sure if it’s the friendship or the skincare, but they both look fabulous. Williams keeps her skin smooth by using facial scrubs; she is a big fan of them and tries to do one every day. You can check out all of Philipps’ beauty secrets on her video tutorials. She has partnered with Olay, which she says makes her feel good about the skin she’s in. Her most important tips are to drink plenty of water and completely remove all makeup before bed. Sounds familiar, right?
