If you follow Kristen Bell on Instagram, you may have noticed that she loves to let her skin without makeup breathe. The 40-year-old actress is often fascinated by work, but prefers to follow the natural path in her everyday life – and she is constantly shining.
It all starts with a solid skin care routine. “My skin is my biggest organ and it’s something that I and other people have to look at every day,” she said 29 secrets. “I want my skin to be healthy because I care so much about my body and how it works.”
Bell explained that, even when her schedule gets a little hectic, she never skips her skin care routine. That’s why she keeps everything super simple. “I worked to make it quick and easy, so that nothing needs to be cut,” she said.
Here is everything Bell shared about her skin care routine, as well as other healthy habits she prioritizes to keep her skin looking its best.
1. She always removes makeup before bed.
The first rule? “I never go to bed with makeup on,” said Bell Form. She likes to clean twice, first removing the face of the day with a cloth or coconut oil for a particularly stubborn eye makeup. Then, she will use a more complete cleaner.
She said W magazine in 2017 that “good skin starts with” double cleaning. “Just take your makeup off your skin first and then use the cleanser so you can really clean your pores without any interference,” explained Bell.
As for his favorite cleanser, Bell has praised the purifying facial cleanser Neutrogena Naturals in the past. (It’s worthless: she’s a brand ambassador.) “I’m not applying harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, oil or dyes to my skin, but I’m getting the same results as everyone else,” she said. ELLE.
2. But she skips her morning cleaning.
As Bell goes to bed with her skin completely clean, she avoids another cleansing in the morning. “I believe in washing all the dirt off my face at night and I always like clean skin, but the oil that my skin produces at night is vital to maintaining my hydration balance during the day,” she said ELLE.
“When I need to wake up my face, sometimes I just put on a warm towel for a minute or two. It looks so, so good, ”she added. “It looks like you’re in a spa for a second. It pulls all the blood flow to my face and kind of wakes me up. I definitely do this before putting on makeup. “
3. Heavier moisturizers are essential for your skin type.
“As I’m getting older, I’m realizing how important moisture is to my skin,” said Bell ELLE. She is a huge fan of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Gel Cream, a rich but light choice that contains hyaluronic acid that invigorates the skin.
That said, sometimes she needs heavier picks. “I have moisture problems,” she said HelloGiggles. “I’ve always used ice creams because I can’t use any product for twenty-something years. Does not work. “
Bell’s makeup artist Simone Siegl said Refinery 29 that she will come in with a moisturizing serum, like Dr. Barbara Sturm’s hyaluronic serum for a “vibrant glow”, before applying a richer cream. A favorite? The always popular (and expensive) Moisturizing Cream La Mer.
“She loves the thickness and heavier texture of it, so we really applied it and it acts like a primer, if you want,” said Siegl. “So, we started your makeup. But that foundation is the most important part and, honestly, it is no different than what she does alone. Kristen takes good care of her skin. “

4. She applies a facial oil, if necessary.
As Bell has dry skin, her makeup artist said the actress will apply a facial oil if necessary (usually over her serum).
“I like True Botanicals True Radiance Oil, which I discovered when Kristen told me she was trying to make her skin care routine more organic,” said Siegl Refinery 29. “It’s amazing because Kristen’s skin is dry and very light in tone, and I think adding this oil is the main key to keeping it moist and young.”
The nutritious product is infused with various botanical oils, including rosehip, grape seed and hemp seed oils, squalane, vitamin E and seaweed extract to keep skin hydrated.
5. She pampers the skin with face masks.
Bell said HelloGiggles she skips facial peels because her skin is sensitive and, instead, applies a facial mask to increase hydration.
“We use Tata Harper’s floral moisturizer,” said Siegl. “As Kristen gets older, she becomes a little more aware of the ingredients and prefers clean products when she can. So, I use Tata Harper on her and any other client who wants the most natural option. “
Bell also loves to apply a DIY face mask: a touch of manuka honey, she said StyleCaster, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The actress leaves the honey for about 10 minutes and then simply rinse it off with water. Sometimes, she adds ingredients to increase exfoliation. “I throw in some sugar,” she said, adding that the mask leaves her skin soft.

6. Sunscreen is mandatory.
“The most practical beauty ritual that gives me the best results is the use of sunscreen. I think that’s why I have managed to maintain a youthful appearance, ”said Bell ELLE. “I love the sun, but it’s not my friend, so applying sunscreen every morning is probably the most practical part of my beauty routine.”
The actress likes to have the Neutrogena UltraSheer Face & Body Stick SPF 70 on hand. “I keep them in the bag because I reapply them throughout the day, whether it’s under my eyes, or when I’m driving and the California sun is desperately trying to give me as many liver stains as possible on my hand, I’ll reapply across my hand, and this is very useful, ”she said.
Bell also said W that she likes Neutrogena’s SPF 50 clear dry zinc mineral sunscreen because “it has all the benefits of a mineral sunscreen, but it doesn’t look very white”. (Mineral sunscreens are known to be less irritating to sensitive skin and safer to coral reefs in the oceans.)
She can thank her mom for this tip: “My mom taught me very early [wearing sunscreen] it was necessary because we had fair skin, and she also taught me that a complete skin care regimen, including sunscreen, would do my skin favors later in life. “
7. She prioritizes sleep.
Bell said R29 that a good night’s sleep makes a big difference. “If I don’t sleep, my skin looks awful,” she said. To reduce her chances of fine lines or split ends, she prefers to take a nap in a silk pillowcase.
“I always thought that sleeping on a silk pillowcase was just a commodity bill. It is not, ”she said Form. “I have less flyaways and split ends. It’s incredible. Sleep in a silk pillowcase, and I guarantee you will notice the difference. “
