Here’s everything Bell shared about her skincare routine, plus other healthy habits she prefers to make her face look its best.
1. She always removes her makeup before going to bed.
The first rule? “I never go to bed with makeup on,” Bell said. Form. She likes to double cleanse by first removing the day’s face with a wipe or coconut oil for especially stubborn eye makeup. Then she will use a more thorough cleanser.

As for her cleanser, Bell has praised the Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser in the past. (Nothing worthwhile: she’s a brand ambassador.) “I do not put harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, petroleum or dyes on my skin, but I get the same results as everyone else,” she said. ELLE.
2. But she cleans her morning.
Since Bell goes to bed with very clean skin, she avoids another cleanser in the morning. “I believe in washing off all the dirt from your face at night, and I always like clean skin, but the oils that my skin produces during the night are important to maintain my moisture balance during the day,” he said. she said. ELLE.
‘When I have to wake up my face, I sometimes put a warm towel on it for a minute or two. It just feels so, so nice, ”she added. ‘It feels like you’re in a spa for a moment. It draws all the blood flow to my face and wakes me up like that. I definitely do this before I put on makeup. ”
Heavier moisturizers are the most important for her skin type.
“As I get older, I realize how important moisture is to my skin,” Bell said. ELLE. She’s a big fan of Neutrogena’s cult favorite Hydro Boost Gel Cream, a rich but lightweight choice that is packed with hyaluronic acid.

“She likes the thickness and the heavier texture of it, so we really put it on and it works as a primer, if you will,” Siegl said. ‘Then we start her make-up. But the base is the most important part, and honestly, it’s nothing more than what she’s doing on her own. Kristen takes very good care of her skin. ”

4. She applies a face oil if necessary.
Because Bell has a dry complexion, her makeup artist said the actress will apply a face oil if necessary (usually over her serum).
“I like the True Botanicals True Radiance Oil, which I found when Kristen told me she’s trying to be more organic with her skincare routine,” Siegl said. Raffinadery29. “It’s amazing because Kristen’s skin is dry and very light in tone, and I think adding this oil is the most important key to keeping it dewy and youthful.”

5. She pampers her skin with face masks.
Bell tells HelloGiggles she skips facial peels because her skin is sensitive, and instead wears a face mask for a boost of hydration.
“We use the Hydrating Floral one from Tata Harper,” Siegl said. ‘As Kristen got older, she became a little more of an ingredient and preferred her clean products if she could. So, I use the Tata Harper on her and any other clients who want the most natural option. ”
Bell also likes to apply a DIY face mask: a floating manuka honey, she said StyleCaster, known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The actress leaves the honey on for about 10 minutes and then simply rinses it off with water.

6. Sunscreen is a must.
‘The most practical beauty ritual that gives me the best results is wearing sunscreen. “I think that’s why I was able to maintain a youthful appearance,” said Bell. ELLE. “I love the sun, but it’s not my friend. So it’s the most practical part of my beauty routine to apply sunscreen every morning.”
The actress likes to have the Neutrogena UltraSheer Face & Body Stick SPF 70 on hand. ‘I keep it in my wallet because I apply it again during the day, either under my eyes, or if I drive and the California sun desperately tries to give me as many liver spots on my hand as possible, I will apply for mine again whole hand, and it is very useful, ”she said.
Bell also told W that she likes Neutrogena’s Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 because “it has all the benefits of a mineral sunscreen, but does not look too white.” (Mineral sunscreens are known to be less irritating to sensitive complexions and safer to the coral reefs of the oceans.)
She can thank her mother for this tip: ‘My mother taught me very early [wearing sunscreen] was necessary because we had clear skin, and she also taught me that a complete skin care program with sunscreen would benefit my skin later in life. ‘
7. She prioritizes sleep.
Bell tells R29 that a good night’s sleep makes a big difference. “When I’m sleepless, my skin looks awful,” she said. To reduce her chance of fine lines or split ends, she prefers to slumber on a side cushion loop.
