Ageing is unavoidable, but looking older than your age may have less to do with natural ageing process and more to do with what you repeatedly do every day.
In the beauty world, Hailey Bieber is inescapable. Whether it’s for her mega-viral skin care line, minimalist manicure inspiration, or effortlessly dewy makeup looks, the multi-hyphenate is constantly dominating headlines and starting new trends. It seems like everyone wants to exude her uncomplicated, confident aura by copying her beauty routines. Well, everyone except for maybe me.
I’ve never been one to follow the trends — I march to the beat of my own beauty drum — and similarly, I haven’t caught onto the hype behind Bieber’s brand Rhode. As a beauty editor, I tend to be skeptical of celebrity-founded brands and gravitate toward products with heavy research and clinical results behind them. That said, I am a fan of testing out celebrities’ skin care routines — many of which include high-end, clinically-tested formulas — to see how they can change my complexion. So when my editor suggested I try Bieber’s modest morning routine, which she’s spoken about in her Vogue Beauty Secrets video, I was up for the test.
For two weeks, I ditched my 10-step skin care ritual in favor of Bieber’s relaxed three-step skin and simple morning makeup regimen. Did it change my life? Maybe in some ways. Keep reading for my honest review of Hailey Bieber’s morning routine.
Price: ~$200. This may sound steep, but many of these products will last a very long time, and you don’t necessarily need to use the same items if you want to replicate her look. Bieber’s exact regimen includes Rhode Glazing Mist ($30), Rhode Glazing Milk ($32), Make Beauty Skin Mimetic Concealer ($28), Kosas Revealer Extra Bright Color Corrector ($32), Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel ($24), Rhode Pocket Blush ($25), Tarte Go With The Faux Freckle Stamp ($26), and the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape ($24).
Who this is best for: Anyone who is constantly running late (ha, me), or who wants to pare back their routine to save time and keep things simple.
What I like: The bare-bones routine made me feel fresh with minimal effort.
What I don’t like: There are some items that are totally unnecessary — I’m looking at you, freckle pen.
My rating: 3.5/5.
The first nonnegotiable step in Bieber’s morning routine is the trusty facial spray from her brand Rhode. Her regimen is already pretty simple, but she says some mornings she’ll only spray this and “walk out the door.”
First impressions: I’ve tried many face mists over the years and honestly, this one did nothing for me. The mister was too fine to feel anything, and it seemed to immediately evaporate into thin air.
How to apply: Close your eyes and liberally mist all over your face.
The results: Personally, I don’t think this did much. I take very good care of my skin and it lives in a constant state of radiance, so this kept me at baseline. I didn’t notice any difference in softness, hydration, or luminosity when I spritzed this on.
This might be the most popular skin care product Bieber makes, and it’s incredibly refreshing to know that she “could not live without it.” After using a face mist, she gently rubs a bit of this milky essence-serum hybrid into her skin to moisturize and strengthen her skin barrier. “It gives your skin this really beautiful, luminous, second-skin kind of look,” she says.
First impressions: I understand the hype behind this viral product. This milk acts as a three-in-one essence, toner, and serum to deeply hydrate skin and boost glowiness. I love how it immediately sank into my complexion and left it feeling pillowy soft.
How to apply: Dab a small dollop onto your hands then smooth it all over your face and neck.
The results: Guess who decided to completely ditch moisturizer — even during my nighttime routine — after using this for a few days. (It’s me.) My skin feels so healthy, bouncy, and soft the moment it melts into my skin, and it imparts a subtle radiance that truly makes me look like I’m glowing from within.
Nothing made me happier while watching Bieber’s video than when she whipped out sunscreen. SPF is the most important part of any skin care routine (seriously, ask any dermatologist) because it’s the best defense against sun-induced skin damage, which can lead to skin cancer and premature signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. The sunscreen Bieber uses — Isdin Fusion Water Urban SPF 30 — isn’t available in the U.S., but there are plenty of milky formulas that have a similar texture and finish. During this little experiment, I opted for Tatcha The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50.
Once Bieber is done with skin care, she moves onto her minimal makeup routine, which begins with just a touch of concealer. She bypasses foundation altogether and only applies concealer on areas she feels could use some brightening, like under her eyes, on her forehead, and in the crevices of her nose.
First impressions: A woman after my own heart! Similar to Bieber, I don’t ever wear foundation, and simply opt for a tiny bit of concealer to hide any blemishes and brighten my under-eyes. Her go-to concealer from Make Beauty feels like air and beautifully blends into skin with minimal effort.
How to apply: Dab a small amount of concealer where you need it — like under the eyes, on the sides of your nose, and along your chin — and blend in with either a brush or your hands. Most days, Bieber prefers her fingers. “I’ve yet to find something that’s a better applicator for makeup than your finger,” she says.
The results: This concealing method effortlessly masked any imperfections without completely covering my face. I love that my skin can still breathe while wearing concealer — something that’s appreciated during boiling summer days.
To look even more awake, alive, and glowy, Bieber adds a little bit of a pale pink color corrector to the corners of her eyes over her concealer. “It gives luminosity to my skin and face,” she says.
First impressions: Not gonna lie, I questioned Bieber’s method with this one. I’ve interviewed dozens of makeup artists over the years, and all of them have recommended applying color correctors or brighteners under your concealer. But for the sake of this experiment, I placed a dab of the pink brightener under my eyes and blended away.
How to apply: Dab a small amount near the inner corners of your eyes and blend using a brush or your finger.
The results: I struggle with very pronounced dark circles that are difficult to cover with concealer alone. The missing piece was this color corrector. The tiniest dab offset the shadows under my eyes to make me look well-rested and bright-eyed. Sorry I ever doubted you with this one, Hails!
I had to do a double-take for this step because Bieber blew past her brow routine in seconds. A quick swipe of a clear brow gel is enough for her.
First impressions: This step feels pointless for someone like me who doesn’t have many brow hairs to be tamed. I have those naturally thin ‘90s brows that don’t benefit from any sort of gel.
How to apply: Simply swipe the spoolie through your eyebrows for a brushed-out, fluffy look.
The results: This didn’t do much for me. I also rewatched Bieber’s video about 10 times to see if it changed her eyebrows, and I genuinely couldn’t see a difference. I think this step is skippable unless you have extra thick brows that could use a little zhuzhing.
To add a little life to her cheeks, Bieber swipes on her very own Rhode Pocket Blush and skillfully blends it in using her fingers. This seems to be the ultimate busy-girl step because it takes mere seconds to get a flush of color that makes an instantaneous difference in terms of looking more alive.
First impressions: This blush stick blends like a dream. The Sleepy Girl color imparted the perfect flush on my cheeks and completely enlivened my complexion so I looked more awake.
How to apply: Swipe the blush stick directly onto your cheekbones, then blend it with your fingertips.
The results: While this isn’t the most pigmented blush I’ve ever used, it’s one of the most blendable and gave me a perfect sun-kissed look. I love how easy the stick is to pop in my bag and how it feels like nothing on my skin. No doubt I’ll continue reaching for it for the rest of summer.
Not to be dramatic, but I almost threw my laptop when I saw Bieber pull out the freckle pen. As a very freckled person (hi, I’m a redhead) who used to get bullied for having them, I hate that freckles are now seen as trendy. Bieber has natural freckles, and she mentions that after makeup artists began enhancing what she already has with this pen, she incorporated the step into her routine. To each their own, but this is a step I skipped.
Bieber’s final step isn’t mascara — she skips that altogether — or another spritz of her face mist. She completes her easy-breezy routine by defining her lips with another product she created: the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape. Bieber outlines her lips to give them “more fullness and volume” and then goes about her day being a mom, and, you know, running a multi-million-dollar company.
First impressions: As a relative newbie to lip liners, this is one of the smoothest I’ve ever used. It’s nearly impossible to create harsh lines with the rounded tip, and it effortlessly glides to give my pout more definition.
How to apply: Glide the pencil along the outline of your mouth to boost volume and definition. Then, use the angled silicone smudger on the other side to diffuse everything.
The results: I don’t look like I got lip injections, per se, but my lips look much more voluminous with a simple swipe of this lip liner. Also, I find so many formulas to be drying (gloss is a requirement over top!). With this, I’m fine to wear it as is because it feels so soft and comfortable.
Mary Honkus
Overall, Bieber’s routine is pretty uncomplicated, and that’s coming from a maximalist who has about 18 steps combined in my morning and evening routines. Following her protocol cut down on my getting-ready time by about 20 minutes, which allowed me to actually be on time for things (score!).
I still think there were quite a few unnecessary details, namely adding faux freckles. I’m covered in real freckles, so I didn’t see a point in painting any more. Also, while brow gel may work for some people, those with thinner arches (like moi) won’t see much benefit from swiping that on.
My suggestion is to take elements of Bieber’s regimen — like the simplistic three-step skin care routine, as well as the minimal makeup steps — and make it your own. That’s what I did. With a few tweaks, like adding some bronzer and mascara, I’ll be sticking to this pared-back routine for the rest of summer.
As a beauty writer with nearly a decade of experience, I spend my days testing the latest and greatest beauty products. My skin is pretty chill — aside from occasional hormonal breakouts, it is clear and glowing, no matter what I slather on. My typical skin care routine is lengthy (I’m talking eight to 10 steps), including multiple products and devices, like red light masks and microcurrent.

If someone handed me a bowl of this chocolate pudding and asked me to guess the secret ingredient, hard-boiled eggs wouldn’t even make the list.
Once everything gets whirled together in a blender, the eggs somehow “disappear” into an incredibly smooth, rich chocolate pudding that my whole family loves.
It’s not “surprisingly good considering there are eggs in it” – it’s ACTUALLY good . . . possibly the best chocolate pudding I’ve ever made.
There’s no eggy flavor and no complicated technique. Just silky, chocolatey goodness . . . with a lot of bonus protein. 🙂
I realize hard-boiled eggs and chocolate pudding sound like two foods that should stay very far away from each other, but there’s actually a lot to love about this combination.
Traditional homemade pudding usually involves heating milk, sugar, and cocoa on the stove, then using cornstarch (or arrowroot), egg yolks, or another thickener to create a creamy texture.
This version is so much easier.
Hard-boiled eggs provide the structure and creaminess, while cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup provide the sweet chocolatey goodness.
Everything goes straight into the blender, so there’s no tempering eggs and no whisking over the stove.
And because the base is made with whole eggs instead of milk and sugar, it’s naturally higher in protein than most traditional chocolate pudding recipes. (You know how much I love that.)
I know, “trust me” is doing a lot of heavy lifting with this recipe, but I served this to everyone in my family and none of them could tell it contained eggs.
That said, I do have a couple of tips for you.
First, use a high-speed blender if you have one. You want the hard-boiled eggs blended so thoroughly that there aren’t any tiny bits left behind.
Second, for the silkiest pudding, let your blender run longer than you think it needs to.
You’re not just combining the ingredients – you’re trying to completely emulsify the eggs into the mixture.
If your pudding seems too thick, add milk a tablespoon or two at a time. If it seems a little thin, keep in mind that it will firm up in the refrigerator.
And if you can detect even a hint of egg flavor while it’s still warm from blending, chill it before making any adjustments. The chocolate flavor comes through much more clearly once everything is cold.
Quick interruption before we get back to chocolate pudding. 🙂

Now, back to the recipe. 🙂
Hard-boiled eggs – You’ll need six peeled eggs. Use fully cooked hard-boiled eggs rather than soft-boiled eggs because you want the yolks completely set before blending.
Milk – I usually use whole milk, but if you’re dairy-free you can use coconut milk or another non-dairy milk.
Unsweetened cacao powder or cocoa powder – I use whichever one I have on hand at the moment.
Maple Syrup – Adds sweetness while blending in completely, so the pudding stays smooth and silky.
Vanilla extract – To round out the flavor.
A pinch of salt – Optional, but recommended. A little salt helps the chocolate and vanilla really “pop.”
Yes. This pudding keeps well for 3–4 days in the fridge, so I often make a double batch and scoop it into individual glass jars for my family to grab when they need a snack.
This silky, rich recipe is very possibly the best chocolate pudding I’ve ever made. It’s easy, rich in protein, and can be made in advance for quick snacks throughout the week.
Keyword gluten-free, dairy optional
Prep Time 5 minutes Chilling time 1 hour
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste and add an extra tablespoon or two of sweetener if desired.
Transfer to individual serving jars, a large mason jar, or a covered container.
Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. (At least one hour, but preferably longer.)
Serve plain or topped with whipped cream, berries or shaved chocolate.
The total volume of the finished pudding can vary from about 2 to 2.5 cups, depending on how much air is incorporated during blending. For the nutrition information below, one serving is ¼ of the finished batch, regardless of its total volume.
Nutrition calculation is based on whole milk (instead of non-dairy milk) and cacao powder (instead of cocoa powder).

Dullness rarely shows up overnight. It
builds slowly, from sun exposure, pollution, and dead cells that don’t shed the
way they should, until one day your skin just looks flat and tired. A detan
face wash is usually the easiest fix to start with, since it works right at
the surface where tan and buildup collect first. The detan face wash with papaya and Vitamin C combines a gentle
enzyme cleanse with brightening actives in one step.
Cleansing sets the stage, but it isn’t
the whole routine. Skin also needs help with tone and pigmentation over time,
which is where a vitamin c moisturizer comes in, clearing
what’s already on the skin while preventing new dullness from settling in.
Understanding why my face looks dull
explains a lot about how to fix it. Dead skin cells naturally sit on the
surface for a few days before shedding, but inconsistent or harsh cleansing
lets that layer build up faster than skin can clear it on its own. Add daily
sun exposure without protection, and pigmentation starts forming underneath,
while pollution and dehydration slow cell turnover further. The result is skin
that scatters light unevenly instead of reflecting it, which is what dullness
looks like at the surface level.
Because papain works enzymatically rather
than through abrasion, it clears tan and dulling buildup without the redness or
micro-tears that physical scrubs can cause. This matters for sensitive skin
especially, since it often can’t tolerate daily exfoliation but still needs
regular buildup removal.
A well-formulated brightening face
wash doesn’t just clean, it actively lifts dullness with each use. Vitamin
C in the formula helps fade the look of dark spots and evens out skin tone
gradually, so the benefit compounds with regular use rather than showing up
after a single wash, a slower but more lasting kind of brightening.
Harsh detan products often rely on heavy
exfoliants that leave skin dry and reactive. A gentler, enzyme-based vitamin
c face wash cleans thoroughly while keeping the skin barrier intact, since
a damaged barrier tends to make dullness and sensitivity worse, not better.
Skin that stays barrier-healthy also absorbs the actives applied afterward more
effectively.
Repeated sun exposure creates patches of
pigmentation that aren’t always obvious day to day but add up to an uneven
complexion. Regular use of a Vitamin C-based cleanser chips away at this
unevenness, which is part of why vitamin c face wash benefits come up so
often in long-term skin tone discussions rather than quick fixes.
Because the base formula is usually
lightweight and non-comedogenic, this cleanser tends to work well across skin
types, including for anyone dealing with vitamin c face wash for oily skin,
since the gel or foaming texture clears excess oil without over-drying.
Clean, de-tanned skin absorbs serums and
moisturizers more effectively than skin covered in dead cells. This is an
underrated reason a detan wash matters, since it isn’t just about looking
brighter immediately, it’s about setting up the rest of your routine, including
a Vitamin C moisturizer, to actually work.
Dullness treatment doesn’t need five
extra steps or constant product switching. A dull skin treatment built
around a twice-daily Vitamin C cleanse, followed by a brightening moisturizer,
covers most of what skin needs without overcomplicating things.
Not every cleanser tackles dullness the
same way, and the two ingredients that matter most here work differently. Papaya
contains papain, a natural enzyme that gently breaks down dead skin cells
without the friction of a physical scrub, making it useful for lifting tan and
rough texture without irritation. Vitamin C works at a slightly deeper
level, as an antioxidant that helps interrupt the process behind pigmentation,
which is why it plays such a direct role in even skin tone over time.
Papain clears the surface while Vitamin C works on the tone underneath, and
that combination largely drives the glow-boosting effect people notice with
consistent use.
Wet your face with lukewarm water, since hot water strips natural
oils and dries out skin further.
Take a
coin-sized amount of the face wash and work it into a gentle lather
between your palms.
Massage onto
your face and neck in circular motions for thirty to forty-five seconds,
giving the enzymes time to work.
Rinse
thoroughly and pat your skin dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing it.
Follow up with a Vitamin C moisturizer while skin is still
slightly damp, to lock in hydration.
Twice a day, once in the morning and once
before bed, is generally enough for most skin types. Using it more often
doesn’t speed up results and can leave skin dry or sensitive, since even gentle
enzymes have their limits. Consistency over weeks matters more than frequency
within a single day.
A detan face wash built around
Vitamin C and papaya does more than freshen up skin for a day. Paired with a
Vitamin C moisturizer, it addresses both the buildup causing dullness and the
pigmentation underneath it, a far more sustainable approach than relying on one
product for a quick fix.

We’ve all spent way too much time staring at K-drama stars, wondering how their skin looks so impossibly flawless. That luminous, poreless, almost translucent complexion—famously dubbed ‘glass skin’—has taken the global beauty world by storm. But if you think achieving it is just about good genetics or buying one expensive cream, think again. The Korean approach to beauty is basically a lifestyle.
It completely ditches the idea of harsh, overnight fixes. Instead, the focus shifts entirely to consistency, barrier protection, and deep hydration. You don’t have to overhaul your entire bathroom cabinet to get in on the action, though. You just need to change how you treat your skin on a daily basis. Here are six core habits Koreans do differently to get that perfect glow.
Developed specifically for sensitive skin, the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cream combine hyaluronic acid and skin-essential lipids to strengthen the skin barrier while delivering clinically proven glow.
Builds on the successful launch of the Cetaphil Nourishing Oil-to-Foam facial Cleanser, extending the Nourishing Line to body care.
Supported by clinical and consumer testing of the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion, 92% of users reported their skin felt softer, smoother, and more radiant after just one use.
MIAMI, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Galderma today announced that Cetaphil, the dermatologist-recommended brand trusted by millions with sensitive skin, is expanding its science-backed Nourishing line with the launch of the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Nourishing & Hydrating Cream. Developed specifically for sensitive skin, these new body care innovations are powered by advanced hydration and barrier science to replenish essential skin lipids, help support and restore the skin barrier, and deliver proven glow as a visible sign of healthier-looking skin.
Sensitive skin is more prone to lipid deficiency, which can weaken the skin barrier and lead to moisture loss, dryness, roughness, and increased susceptibility to irritation. Aging and everyday environmental stressors can further deplete these essential lipids, making replenishment critical to maintaining healthy, resilient skin. Consumers are increasingly seeking healthy, glowing skin across face and body, and Cetaphil is meeting that need through clinically developed barrier science that nourishes the skin beyond the surface.
The new Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cream represent the next evolution of Cetaphil’s Nourishing line, bringing the same technology-driven approach to body care formulations. Backed by clinical and consumer testing, the Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion delivers visible results from the very first use.
“The success of our Nourishing Oil-to-Foam facial Cleanser reinforced the consumer demand for body care rooted in skin barrier science. As we developed the next evolution of the Cetaphil’s Nourishing line, we focused on addressing one of the underlying contributors to dry, sensitive skin—surface lipid depletion. By combining ingredients like hyaluronic acid, lipids, flaxseed oil, and vitamin E in targeted formulations, we created products that not only provide long-lasting hydration, but also help replenish essential skin lipids, strengthen the skin barrier and support healthier-looking skin.”
JP YORK, PHD DIRECTOR, U.S. MEDICAL AFFAIRS, DERMATOLOGICAL SKINCARE, GALDERMA
Rather than simply moisturizing the skin’s surface, the Nourishing line delivers targeted nourishment through advanced ingredient technology tailored to different hydration needs. In consumer assessment results, 79% agreed their skin looked more glowy after just one use. Specifically, for the cream, 98% agreed their skin felt and looked less dry and more hydrated with consistent use*.
“Our goal was to formulate body moisturizers that go beyond surface-level hydration. For people with sensitive skin, the ability to nourish while maintaining the skin barrier is critical, making these formulas with carefully selected ingredients is an important advancement over traditional body moisturizers.”
DR. AARON FARBERG DERMATOLOGIST AND MOHS SURGEON, BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE HEALTH (U.S.)
A new approach to nourishing body care for sensitive skin Cetaphil’s Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Nourishing & Hydrating Cream were developed to deliver targeted nourishment for different hydration needs while supporting the skin barrier with science-backed ingredients:
Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion instantly replenishes surface skin lipids for clinically proven glow, healthier-looking skin while providing up to 48-hours of hydration. Powered by Hyaluronic Acid, Lipids, and Flaxseed Oil, the lightweight, oil-infused formula helps retain moisture, soothe skin, and support the skin barrier for lasting hydration and visible radiance.
Nourishing & Hydrating Cream provides rich, long-lasting nourishment for normal to very dry skin with 72-hour hydration and proven glow. Formulated with Lipids and Vitamin E, the fast-absorbing cream deeply replenishes moisture while helping support and restore the skin barrier, leaving skin healthier-looking, smoother, and deeply hydrated. Both the lotion and the cream are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and developed specifically for sensitive skin.
The Cetaphil Nourishing & Hydrating Lotion and Cetaphil Nourishing & Hydrating Cream are available now at major retailers nationwide and online at Cetaphil.com.
