Nothing is better than a youthful, hydrated, and glowing complexion. This is why so many of us make it a priority to keep our skin healthy and radiant. But sometimes, it can be difficult to know what works and what doesn’t. Thankfully, there are some tried-and-true celebrity skin tips you can use to get the dewy, hydrated look you’ve always wanted.
Preparing the Skin
One of the keys to a hydrated complexion is to properly prepare your skin. Celebrity skin care expert Kate Somerville recommends a double cleansing routine – using an oil-based cleanser first, then following with a gentle foam cleanser to remove any excess impurities. She also suggests exfoliating at least once a week to slough away any dead skin cells that can cause your skin to look dull.

After cleansing and exfoliating, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Doris Day recommends reaching for a serum packed with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins to quench thirsty skin and boost the effectiveness of your anti-aging products.
Drinking Water
Hydration doesn’t just come from the outside – it starts from within. Hollywood’s go-to nutritionist, Kelly LeVeque, recommends drinking half your body weight in ounces of water daily to keep your cells hydrated. Staying hydrated also helps flushes out toxins from the body, leaving you with a healthy, glowing complexion.
Adding Natural Ingredients to Your Routine
Nature has the power to give us natural alternatives to all sorts of skin woes, and hydrated skin is no exception. Celebrity facialist and aesthetician Tracie Martyn swears by her natural line of products, but she also recommends incorporating some of nature’s best hydrating ingredients into your routine on a weekly basis.
Avocado is a great source of healthy fats and vitamins which help to promote a healthy glow. While you can apply it directly to the skin, you can also mix it with other natural ingredients like honey to make a soothing mask that won’t irritate sensitive skin.

Another great, natural hydrator is honey. Its natural sugars help to lock in moisture and, according to Martyn, its healing properties can help reduce inflammation, redness, and scarring. She suggests mixing it with tea tree oil and applying it to the affected area for a soothing, hydrating mask.
Moisturizing the Skin
Skincare isn’t complete without a good moisturizer. Celebrity makeup artist and skin guru Violet Makes recommends using a lightweight, moisturizer that packs plenty of antioxidants and other skin-nourishing ingredients. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to help draw moisture into the skin and keep it looking hydrated and glowing.
Daily SPF Protection
Celebrities might have access to some of the best skin care products on the market, but when it comes to protecting the skin, there’s only one source of protection that’s widely accepted: sunscreen. Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman recommends applying an SPF 30 or higher daily, or even a minimum of SPF 15 when indoors. Applying a daily SPF will protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays that can cause lasting damage and prematurely age the skin.
