For her, a beauty routine is fundamental and supported by proper nutrition and hydration. We also know that she uses creams and beauty devices in combination with home treatments. “I use coconut oil as a moisturizer and I combine yogurt and sea salt to exfoliate. If I’m going out and looking tired and puffy, I dip my face into a bucket of ice water,” she explained during an interview for The Violet Files done by one of her best friends and confidants, Violet Grey.
Want to get more details about the keys to her success? We’ve made you a list of Eva Mendes’ seven essentials for skin like you were still 20.
Moisturizing serum
Regarding her beauty routine, the star confessed on a social media: “basically I have a quick routine that I stick to daily. I don’t overcomplicate with a ton of products.”
As she was a brand ambassador for Estée Lauder, some of their products are now on her list of beauty essentials, such as the New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum ($103.70), which helps moisturize skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Night repair
There are certainly cosmetic products that help to maintain skin’s elasticity, firmness, and youthful appearance. They are tried-and-true allies of celebrities like Mendes—who, at 46 years old, looks as if she were 20. She’s able to do this thanks to a healthy lifestyle, as well as consistent use of products like Advanced Night Repair ($103/Estee Lauder), a complete night repair product that—according to the brand—contributes to younger-looking skin in just four weeks.
A flood of collagen
Estée Lauder’s New Dimension Liquid tape is the celebrity’s best kept secret to tone and firm areas like the upper part of cheeks and the eye area. It should be used with clean skin and the result—according to the brand—is an “instant feeling of firmness.” You can find it on Amazon for $13.75.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is one of the actress’ must-haves and everyone knows it. In interviews with Byrdie and Redbook, she admitted that she loves using it to moisturize her hands, different parts of her body, including her face—preferably at night—and even on hair as a mask. If you’d like to follow her lead, try the Shea Moisture ($8.97) face oil for all skin types with 100% virgin coconut oil, mixed with Shea oil and coconut milk.
Microcurrents
When it comes to beauty, extra help is always welcome and Eva knows it. That’s why she takes advantage of technology. “I love the ZIPP beauty tool for my face. A device with electrical currents that you can use at home,” she explained to Glamour.
This dynamic beauty devices syncs with an app to configure a microcurrent treatment specific to each skin type. (ZIPP Beauty $495).
Homemade products
Eva Mendes is versatile when it comes to devising her beauty routine. She loves variety and that’s why she also uses homemade recipes that she prepares with ingredients from her kitchen, like plain yogurt with sea salt, to easily create an effective homemade exfoliant.
Face roller
Cold face rolling is another trick she has up her sleeve to always look dazzling, as she explained in a post on social media. She uses it to bring down the swelling in her skin whenever she needs to. You can get one similar to what the actress uses—Ice Roller Stacked Skincare ($30)—at Sephora.
Now that you know some of the beauty tricks that help this celebrity look like a 20-year-old, you don‘t have any excuse to not use them for your skin!
