The Top 5 Celebrity Skin Routines Ranked By Popularity With An Unexpected Blowout Winner

admin 0 Comments

Celebrity skincare routines have officially taken over the beauty world.

Fans have been dissecting every product and every step in the hopes of recreating that red carpet–ready skin at home.

The skincare brand Skinara set out to rank the most in-demand celebrity skincare routines. They found that millions of people are obsessively searching for the secret behind the flawless-looking skin that stars like Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber have.

But when the results came in, the top spot for the most searched celebrity skincare routine went to someone unexpected.

The Skinara May 2026 report analyzed 25 different celebrities known for high-interest skincare routines.

The “total online interest” was defined as the combined level of public curiosity and media attention around each celebrity’s skincare routine. 

It includes two metrics: the estimated monthly Google search count for each celebrity’s skincare routine and the number of times media outlets covered that celebrity’s skincare or skincare routine.

Experts at Skinara explained that the data most likely shows the “curiosity” that social media users have about celebrity skincare routines and does not necessarily translate to “consistent behavior.”

“High search volume means people are interested in learning about a celebrity’s routine, but it does not prove that they are actually following it every day,” a representative for Skinara told Bored Panda.

“Many people may search because they admire the celebrity’s appearance, want product ideas, or are curious about expensive or unusual skincare habits,” they continued.

While these routines are racking up millions of searches, the skincare experts behind the study warned that they may be setting the bar a little too high for some people.

“Most people following these celebrities do not have the same lifestyle, budget, or access to estheticians, professional treatments, makeup artists, lighting, editing, and expensive skincare products,” they said. 

They also highlighted a noticeable gap between celebrity-endorsed routines and what dermatologists would typically recommend. 

Skinara explained that celebrity routines can include “good skincare habits, but they may also be more “generic” and sometimes “more expensive or product-heavy than what a dermatologist would usually recommend.”

“Dermatologists typically focus on routines that are tailored to a person’s skin profile and specific concerns,” they added. In contrast, celebrity routines may feature luxury products, sponsored items, or treatments that may not be suitable or accessible to other people.”

Here are the top 5 celebrity skincare routines ranked by total online interest:

Routine Style: Hydration + slugging glowTotal interest: 19KSkincare brand: CécredBrand’s Instagram followers: 554KBeyoncé has been building her own beauty empire, with over half a million people keeping tabs on her beauty brand Cécred.The Grammy winner’s personal skincare routine is based on her products and deep hydration. And let’s just say it’s not for the lazy.Her routine is slightly more complicated, in comparison to the celebrity who is number one on this list.It includes cleansing, exfoliating, toning, applying serums for specific concerns, eye creams, and daily application of sunscreen (SPF 30+).“It’s great to see sunscreen finally being recognized in the cosmetic industry and among celebrities,” Dermatology expert Ada Hathway at Skinara said.

Routine Style: Simple men’s grooming Total interest: 36.4KSkincare brand: Papatui Men’s groomingBrand’s Instagram followers: 128KDwayne “The Rock” Johnson stands out as the only male celebrity on the list, reflecting how few men are setting the bar in skincare. Nevertheless, his routine is pulling some serious interest online, with 36,400 searches every month and a growing fan base for his grooming brand, Papatui, which boasts over 128,000 Instagram followers.The actor and professional wrestler keeps his skincare routine simple and clear, starting with a deep wash of the face each day.

Routine Style: “Glazed donut” trendTotal interest: 11.4KSkincare brand: Rhode Skin Sold to e.l.f. for $1B Brand’s Instagram followers: 4.1MHailey Bieber’s influence online is undeniable, with her skincare routine ranking fifth on Skinara’s list.Her 9-minute skincare video for Vogue alone has racked up over 3 million views on YouTube. Moreover, her cosmetics brand, Rhode Skin, was so successful that she sold it for $1 billion to e.l.f . last year.Hailey described her current method as “no-nonsense beauty,” naming sunscreen, concealer, and minimal makeup as her go-to skincare approach. She had declared 2022 as the year of the “glazed skin,” promoting the concept for her then-upcoming line, Rhode Beauty. The unlikely source of inspiration for the concept was the glazed donut, and the aim is to achieve youthful, glazed-looking skin.

Routine Style: 9-step luxury system Total interest: 68.2KSkincare brand: SKKN by Kim Brand’s Instagram followers: 5.4MComing in second place, Kim Kardashian proves that when it comes to skincare, more is really more. With a massive 5.4 million followers keeping up with her brand SKKN, it’s clear people are invested in her signature glow.Unlike simpler routines, Kim’s regimen is a full 9-step process. Think cleanser, toner, oil drops, eye cream, and more, thus being both meticulous and high-maintenance.Of course, that level of luxury comes at an expensive price. Using only SKKN products, her routine can cost more than $600. But for those not ready to spend that kind of cash, there are budget-friendly ways to recreate her glow for closer to $100, Skinara said.

Routine Style: SPF-first, anti-aging glowTotal interest: 2.2MSkincare brand: TotyBrand’s Instagram followers: 158KTaking the top spot on Skinara’s list, Sofía Vergara’s routine is all about minimal effort and maximum glow.While others pile on serums and complicated steps, the Modern Family star is keeping it refreshingly straightforward. And it has certainly paid off. Her skincare routine has generated a whopping 2.2 million searches online.As she pays attention to her face every day, thestar’s main secret is putting SPF first, which prevents premature aging caused by UV exposure. By putting sun protection front and center, she’s tackling one of the biggest causes of aging before it even starts.Her skincare brand, Toty, has a fan base of 158,000 followers on Instagram, who believe in her philosophy of skincare not having to be complicated, just smart.“Protecting the skin from UV damage is one of the most effective ways to prevent premature aging and preserve long-term skin health,” Ada Hathway said.“Many people skip this step because they use it only under scorching sun or when sunbathing,” she continued, “but it’s a perfect everyday tool for those who care about their skin.”

From Vanity Vans To Film Sets: The Rise Of Hydration-Focused Routines| Sakshe Agrawal Gupta, Founder at Eora Exclusive Interview With Filmibeat

From Vanity Vans To Film Sets: The Rise Of Hydration-Focused Routines| Sakshe Agrawal Gupta, Founder at Eora Exclusive Interview With Filmibeat

admin 0 Comments

Step inside any modern vanity van or film set today, and you’ll notice a quiet but powerful shift in beauty routines; hydration has taken center stage. Skincare is no longer just about quick fixes or heavy coverage; it’s about creating a healthy, resilient base.

At the heart of this evolution are formulations built around snow mushroom, a powerful natural hydrator known for helping the skin retain moisture and stay balanced. It keeps the skin looking plump, smooth, and fresh, even under demanding conditions like long shooting hours and constant makeup application.

This shift hasn’t happened overnight. For years, makeup-heavy routines dominated on-screen appearances, often prioritizing flawless finishes over skin health. However, long hours under harsh lighting and repeated touch-ups began to take a visible toll.

In response, makeup artists started focusing more on skin prep, placing hydration at the center to ensure makeup looks better and skin feels healthier underneath.

Hydration-focused routines are now more intentional than ever. Before any makeup is applied, skin is prepped with lightweight layers that help maintain moisture throughout the day. Snow mushroom has become a preferred ingredient in this process because it delivers deep hydration without feeling heavy, making it ideal for use under makeup. It helps the skin stay soft, comfortable, and naturally radiant for longer hours.

Actors and influencers have also played a key role in shaping this trend. Behind-the-scenes content now highlights skincare routines more than makeup transformations. The focus has shifted toward achieving a hydrated, dewy base that enhances natural features rather than covering them. This has encouraged audiences to rethink their own routines and prioritize skin health.

“The rise of high-definition cameras has further reinforced the importance of hydration. With every detail now visible on screen, well-hydrated skin appears smoother and more luminous, while dryness becomes more noticeable. This makes hydration an essential step in achieving a polished, camera-ready look. Beyond film sets, this approach is influencing everyday beauty habits. People are simplifying their routines and choosing products that support hydration rather than layering multiple products. The idea is simple: when your skin is well-hydrated, it naturally looks and feels better,” Sakshe Agrawal Gupta, Founder at Eora, exclusively told Filmibeat Chief Copy Editor Abhishek Ranjit.

Ultimately, the rise of hydration-focused routines reflects a broader shift in beauty. It’s no longer about covering imperfections but about caring for the skin from within. Whether in a vanity van or at home, hydration, led by ingredients like snow mushroom, has become the foundation of modern skincare.

Nearly half of Americans would rather go into debt than give up their beauty routines

Nearly half of Americans would rather go into debt than give up their beauty routines

Your briefing on the latest headlines from across the US

Losing a job wouldn’t stop almost half of American adults from trying to look and feel good.

Some 46 percent of consumers age 18 and older said they would go into debt to maintain their beauty and wellness routines if they lost their job, according to a March survey by beauty and wellness AI software platform Zenoti.

Respondents are ready to make other sacrifices for self-care, too, including a curtailed social life, delayed vacations, reduced funds for savings and debt repayment.

The survey’s analysis of spending trends found that people would most likely go into debt using credit cards to keep up appearances after a job loss.

Consumer habits indicate that being made unemployed might spur even more beauty spending, the study found. Some 33 percent of respondents said they increased their self-care routines because of workplace stress or burnout.

Loneliness, financial stress and major life transitions – all situations a job loss could create – are among the top reasons why people increase their beauty and wellness spending. But there was one concession: 45 percent of respondents said they would reduce the frequency of beauty appointments.

The study brings into focus the trade-offs that Americans are making as they negotiate rising costs. While many draw the line at self-care, there are other costs they’re willing to sacrifice to steady their finances.

Entertainment is on the consumer chopping block. Around 40 percent of Americans have dropped at least one streaming service over the past three months, according to a study from Deloitte. The average household spends an average of $69 a month on these services, Deloitte noted.

Another popular target for spending cuts in the past year is eating out. Some 61 percent of U.S. adults, over age 21, have lowered spending at restaurants, according to a May 2025 study from retail news and analysis firm Chain Store Age. And consumers are making sacrifices in their closets: Just over half (52 percent) say they’ve cut back on clothes and shoe spending.

The cost-cutting reflects a nationwide concern about household finances amid high gas prices and rising inflation.

Consumers are more pessimistic about their financial future today than they were during the Great Recession. Some 55 percent of consumers said their financial situation is getting worse, according to a Gallup poll published Tuesday, compared to 49 per cent in 2008.

Beauty’s Next Wave Sees Consumers Adding Aesthetic Procedures and Longevity Treatments to Regular Routines

admin 0 Comments

Subject: SVY

  • Report from BCG and WWD Highlights “Optimizer” Consumers Reshaping the Beauty Market
  • 80% Say Beauty Is About How They Feel Physically and Mentally, Not Just Appearance
  • 75% Use AI to Research Beauty, with 1 in 4 Relying on It as Their Primary Source

BOSTON, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beauty is expanding beyond traditional categories as consumers increasingly layer aesthetic procedures and performance and longevity treatments on top of their foundational routines. At the center of this shift is the beauty “optimizer,” a consumer turning to a wider range of solutions to meet their needs. About 70% are open to non-traditional beauty solutions, and roughly 80% say beauty is about mental and physical wellbeing, not just appearance.

The “optimizer”?now representing 6% of US adults, or approximately 15 million people?spent $3,000 on average in the past year across traditional beauty, aesthetic procedures, and performance and longevity categories. If this segment were to double, it could unlock more than $30 billion across the broader beauty market.

These are among the findings of a new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), titled Consumers Are Shaping a New Age of Optimization in Beauty, based on an April survey of 5,000 US beauty consumers.

“Skin care, makeup, and hair care still anchor beauty routines, but consumers are increasingly layering aesthetic procedures, wellness, and longevity-driven solutions into the mix,” said Jenny B. Fine, Editor in Chief, Beauty Inc and Executive Editor, Beauty, WWD. “Today’s beauty consumer is highly informed, deeply results-oriented, and more willing than ever to move fluidly across categories in pursuit of optimization, efficacy, and long-term well-being.”

New Categories Deepen Engagement in Traditional Beauty

About 70% of optimizers say aesthetic procedures are a regular part of their routines. This drives greater engagement in traditional beauty categories, with 70% investing more in premium or medical-grade skin care, and 50% adding more steps or ingredients to their routines.

GLP-1s are also creating new beauty needs. Approximately 30% of optimizers report using them in the past 12 months. Of those who reported changes in facial volume, skin quality, dryness, or breakouts, about half are turning to more luxury or medical-grade skin care. Nearly 80% of those who reported sagging or loose skin have increased their use of fillers, injectables, skin tightening, contouring, or laser treatments.

Optimizers are also four times more likely than overall beauty consumers to use longevity and anti-aging supplements, and twice as likely to use beauty supplements.

How Consumers Research Beauty

About 75% of optimizers used AI in the last month to research beauty, wellness, or longevity, and 25% say it is their primary source. Among male optimizers, 40% use AI to build personalized beauty routines?2.6 times the rate of women.

Social media still plays a role in discovery, though trust is shifting. About 40% of optimizers discover products through influencer posts or social media ads, but only 1 in 20 cite social media as their most trusted source. Friends and family are the most common source of discovery, while medical professionals are the most trusted. Around 75% say they choose brands based on proven efficacy and scientific validation.

An Expanded Definition of Beauty

As optimizers engage with beauty differently than the average beauty consumer, brands and retailers should rethink how they attract this growing segment.

“Traditional beauty still anchors the category, but the definition is expanding,” said Pierre Dupreelle, a BCG managing director and senior partner, and global beauty sector leader. “Rather than rely on a few hero products, consumers are layering solutions across aesthetics, performance, and longevity categories to get the results they want. Brands need to pay attention to this shift as these consumers signal where beauty is going next.”

Overnight beauty routines for glowing skin

Overnight beauty routines for glowing skin

admin 0 Comments

PICTURE: PEXELS/ SKIN CARE

Glowing skin is often associated with expensive products and complicated skincare routines, but many beauty experts say some of the most effective habits actually happen overnight.

While the body rests, the skin naturally goes into repair mode, making nighttime one of the most important parts of any beauty routine.

Creating a simple and consistent overnight skincare ritual can help improve hydration, texture and overall skin appearance over time.

Double Cleansing Matters

One of the biggest mistakes people make before bed is sleeping with makeup, sunscreen or excess oil still on their skin. Overnight buildup can clog pores and contribute to breakouts, irritation and dullness.

Double cleansing has become one of the most popular beauty trends because it helps remove dirt more effectively. The process usually involves starting with an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to clean the skin itself.

Even people who do not wear makeup can benefit from properly cleansing the skin after a long day.

Hydration Is the Real Secret

Many skincare specialists agree that hydrated skin tends to appear healthier, smoother and more radiant. During winter especially, skin can lose moisture quickly, making overnight hydration essential.

Using a nourishing moisturiser before bed helps lock in moisture while supporting the skin barrier. Products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin and squalane are often recommended for overnight hydration.

Sleeping with dry skin can sometimes make fine lines, uneven texture and irritation appear more noticeable the next morning.

Silk Pillowcases Are Still Trending

Beauty lovers continue praising silk pillowcases for their potential skin and hair benefits. Unlike rougher fabrics, silk creates less friction while sleeping, which may help reduce irritation and prevent excessive moisture loss.

Some people also believe silk pillowcases can help reduce hair breakage and maintain hairstyles for longer.

While they are not miracle products, many skincare enthusiasts consider them a useful addition to a nighttime beauty routine.

Overnight Masks and Treatments

Overnight face masks have become increasingly popular because they allow ingredients to work for several hours while the skin is resting.

Hydrating masks are especially useful during colder months when skin tends to feel dry and tight. Some overnight treatments also target concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, acne, or dark spots.

However, experts often advise against overusing strong active ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids without proper guidance, as excessive use can irritate the skin barrier.

Beauty Sleep Is Real

Sleep itself plays a major role in skin health. Poor sleep habits are often linked to dark circles, puffiness, breakouts, and tired-looking skin.

During sleep, the body works to repair damage caused by stress, environmental exposure, and daily fatigue. Consistently getting enough rest can support healthier-looking skin over time.

Stress management is also becoming part of modern beauty conversations, as emotional stress can affect the skin through breakouts and inflammation.

Lip and Hand Care Are Often Forgotten

Many people focus only on facial skincare while ignoring other areas affected by dryness overnight.

Applying lip balm before bed can help prevent cracked lips, especially during winter. Hand creams are also important because colder weather and frequent washing can leave hands dry and irritated.

Small habits like these can make a noticeable difference in overall skin comfort and appearance.

Consistency Over Perfection

Beauty experts continue emphasising that consistency matters more than owning dozens of products. A simple routine followed regularly is often more effective than constantly changing skincare products or chasing viral beauty trends.

Healthy-looking skin usually develops gradually through consistent care, hydration, balanced habits, and patience.

Rather than aiming for unrealistic perfection, many modern beauty conversations are shifting toward maintaining skin that feels healthy, comfortable, and naturally radiant.

The Two-Minute Morning Skin Care Routine

Whether you wear makeup or not, skin care is one thing you might not want to skip. It can actually be the focal point of your getting-ready routine.

“We’re all about skin-first confidence, and your routine should work with you and your skin, not against it,” says Gaia Carminati, Head of Product Development at Indu Beauty. “Start with clean, calm skin and a few easy steps that let your natural skin be its best. Think cleanser, SPF, a multi-use tinted glow, brushed-up brows, and you are good to go.”

Rising Costs of ‘Natural Beauty’ Routines Prompt Shift Toward Long-Term Treatment Solutions

admin 0 Comments

Subject: SVY

GREAT NECK, N.Y., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the natural beauty trend continues to gain momentum, a growing number of consumers are reassessing the true cost of maintaining minimalist skincare and grooming routines. Laser by Aleya reports that clients are increasingly questioning whether “low-effort” beauty approaches are actually leading to higher long-term spend.

While natural beauty routines often emphasize fewer products and simplified regimens, many clients still rely on ongoing maintenance such as shaving, waxing, and frequent product replacement. Over time, these recurring costs can add up, prompting a shift toward more structured, long-term solutions.

“We’re seeing clients take a closer look at what they’re spending over time,” said Aleya Bamdad, Founder and CEO of Laser by Aleya. “What seems simple on the surface can become time-consuming and costly when it requires constant upkeep.”

The Hidden Cost of Ongoing Maintenance

Laser by Aleya notes that clients who follow natural beauty routines often aim to reduce product use, but still depend on regular grooming practices to maintain results. This includes recurring expenses related to razors, waxing appointments, and skincare products designed to manage irritation or ingrown hairs.

As awareness grows, more clients are exploring alternatives that can reduce the need for continuous maintenance.

A Shift Toward Long-Term Solutions

The clinic reports increased interest in treatments such as laser hair removal and electrolysis, particularly among clients looking to streamline their routines. These treatments are being viewed as part of a broader effort to reduce repetitive grooming while maintaining consistent results.

Consultations at Laser by Aleya focus on helping clients understand the long-term value of different options, rather than only short-term costs.

Balancing Simplicity and Efficiency

The natural beauty movement continues to influence how clients approach skincare and grooming. However, Laser by Aleya notes that simplicity does not always mean lower cost or less effort.

Clients are increasingly seeking solutions that align both with their lifestyle and their long-term goals, combining simplified routines with treatments that address concerns more directly.

“Natural beauty should feel manageable, not demanding,” Bamdad added. “For many clients, that means finding solutions that reduce daily effort rather than adding to it.”

A More Informed Approach to Beauty Spending

The conversation around natural beauty is evolving as consumers become more aware of how time, cost, and results intersect. Laser by Aleya’s experience reflects a broader shift toward more informed decision-making, where clients evaluate both immediate convenience and long-term outcomes.

As this trend continues, the focus is expected to remain on efficiency, consistency, and clarity in how beauty routines are structured.

About Laser by Aleya

Laser by Aleya is a leading provider of professional New York laser and electrolysis hair removal services based in Great Neck. Founded by Aleya Bamdad, the clinic delivers personalized treatments supported by advanced laser technology and carefully selected beauty supplies.

Three quarters of women are now skin confident and feel comfortable leaving the house make-up free thanks to a generational shift towards natural beauty, a major report has found. A study of 5,000 women revealed 65% of Gen Z and 52% of Millennials believe they feel more comfortable in their skin than they did five years ago.

But it comes after 66% admitted their skin had negatively affected their personal relationships in the past as 19% had skipped social events due to a bad skin day, while 22% had avoided going out at all. Two thirds said having a skincare routine helps them to feel more confident, with this highest among Gen Z (72%) and Millennials (69%).

The insights come from a Liz Earle Beauty Co. report, which polled women on their feelings on their skin, looking at everything from understanding ingredients to confidence, routines and rituals.

Liz Earle Beauty Co. facialist and lifestyle ambassador, Sarah Carr, said: “Our skin confidence has a big impact on how we feel generally. When we do feel good about our skin, it empowers us to be more present and engaged in everyday life.”

It emerged 63% claimed ‘good skin days’ can now entirely transform their mood for the day ahead.

The research also found women use three skincare products on average, and 70% described their routine as ‘simple and consistent’. While 15% confessed theirs contain lots of details and multiple steps, according to the OnePoll.com figures.

When it comes to buying products, price point (48%) reigns supreme as the decider, followed by natural ingredients (41%) and quality ingredient sourcing (30%).

Although scientific backing (27%), sustainability and ethics (17%) and brand heritage and reputation (13%) also influenced purchasing patterns.

However, 17% confessed to feeling overwhelmed and confused (16%) when buying products for their skin. And 41% admitted they don’t feel confident in their understanding of skincare ingredients and what they do.

While product overwhelm and fast beauty fatigue was rife as 78% think there are too many new skincare products constantly cycling onto the market to keep track of.

Sarah Carr from the beauty brand, added: “We’re seeing a shift towards embracing natural beauty and feeling comfortable going makeup free.

“Taking the time to invest in a skincare routine has become a form of self-care, helping women to ultimately nurture their skin and their wellbeing.

“People clearly benefit from these routines, but they’re steering away from buzz words and hundreds of ‘new’ products cycling onto the market, craving straightforward products with natural, quality ingredients with the scientific backing to produce the results they promise.”
