Angelina Jolie protects her skin with a routine that you can also follow: her dermatologist reveals it
Angelina Jolie is one of the most recognized actresses in Hollywood. In addition to that, she is also a UN special envoy, she directed six films and is the mother of six children. Despite all those responsibilities, she is one of the most beautiful women in cinema and has enviable skin. How does she do it? Many may think that her secret is that she spends fortunes on care, but they are wrong.
Jolie's dermatologist, Rhonda Rand, gave an exclusive interview with Refinery 29 and revealed the star's beauty secrets, and they're a lot simpler than you think.
1. She started going to the dermatologist from a very young age
The actress began going to the dermatologist more than 30 years ago, when she realized that she wanted to pursue acting. "She's lucky to have her mother's beautiful olive skin," the dermatologist explained, "she's a natural beauty, so I never had to do too much. She really was just sunscreen, proper cleansing with a gentle product, antioxidants, sometimes glycolic acid products and natural products. Alpha hydroxy lotions are also good, and they are very natural. She doesn't need deep cleanings or products with a lot of chemicals.
2. Wear little makeup
She usually wears a very dramatic red lipstick and dark eyeshadow when she goes to the red carpet, but in her private life things are very different. "Jolie never wears makeup unless she's working — and that's probably another reason why her skin looks so good. She is also very good at removing makeup. I know that her makeup artist is very careful about what she puts on her skin and she takes great care of her when she is working," she explained.
3. Follow your routine
Getting the products is not the difficult part (nor does it have to be so expensive). The tricky part is having the consistency to follow a routine, but Jolie has it down. The professional added that "when she travels, she takes a skin care regimen with her that includes products with alpha hydroxygen or antioxidants."
4. It protects itself from the sun
"She has olive skin like her mother, but she doesn't let it darken. She has been very correct about using sunscreen from a very young age to protect her skin. She knew that the sun is not good for the skin in general—in terms of pigmentation problems and stuff. She also wears a hat, which is so important. She hydrates a lot and uses a lot of moisturizer, but really protecting yourself from the sun is what is going to prevent aging more than anything ».
5. No extreme treatments
When it comes to skincare, less is more for Angelina. Her dermatologist confessed that:
Basically I try not to do too much. We use laser resurfacing from time to time. It's used to enhance the skin and give it a little glow, but it's a bit more than just a facial.
Angelina Jolie's beauty routine is so simple, you don't need a star budget to stick with it. It is only based on being constant, hydrating and protecting yourself from the sun.
