The skin care secrets your favourite celebrities swear by

"I can't live without [Augustinus Bader's The Eye Patches] ($36 from Augustinus Bader)," Dua Lipa told Vogue, as she divulged the contents of her Birkin in an episode of 'In The Bag'. "This is super important, especially with all my travels. When I'm on a plane, I pop these on and I'm like, 'Okay, maybe I'll wake up looking a little bit more refreshed'."

"So every morning, I use U Beauty’s The Barrier Bioactive Treatment ($318 from David Jones)—you can use it as a mask or a moisturizer, and the formula is inspired by the immortal jellyfish, and it basically reverses aging in your skin," Paris Hilton shared with Who What Wear in 2022. "It’s really, really amazing technology, so I love using that."

"I'm very into azelaic acid a few times a week. I struggle with using retinol. It's very, very hard on my skin. So azelaic acid has been a really good alternative for me personally with sensitive skin." Hailey Bieber shared with Glamour. "I use it for [calming] sensitivity and getting that little bit of skin cell turnover without it having to be with a harsh acid or a harsh retinol."

"[L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Clinical 12% Pure Vitamin C Tone Pore Line Serum] ($44.81 from Oz Hair & Beauty) makes my skin feel so smooth, so soft," Mary Fowler told Vogue Australia. "In security, you can't bring heaps of liquids with you, so I literally bring that and I just use that on the plane. I used to bring other lotions and stuff, but I'm a very simple person and that product works so well for me."

"I'm gonna do something a little different, and I am going to show you how I go to sleep at night, because there's no morning routine without my Dewtopia ($90 from Sephora)," Issa Rae shared in a Vogue Beauty Secrets segment where she broke down her skin care routine. "I have not had a pimple in a year and a half since using this. Not even period pimples. Period pimples used to p*ss me off. I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I love this product."

"Each morning I splash cold water on my face, but with all the travelling I do, I’ve found that it’s best to carry Thermal Water Spray ($9.99 from Chemist Warehouse). I wasn’t that educated on the way different waters around the world can affect my skin type, but every time I come to Paris – right before I start shooting – my skin rebels against me," Lily Collins dished in an interview with British Vogue. "I realised that sometimes the water is a shock to the system, so now when I splash my face with water from the tap, I make sure to follow it up with a thermal water spray, and then dab it with a tissue or cotton pad. It helps hydrate my skin, and eliminates any water impurities from the tap."

"My lip balm — I use Bepanthen ($12.99 from Chemist Warehouse), which is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies," Margot Robbie divulged to Elle UK. "I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms actually have additives in them to dry your lips out so you keep buying them, but because Bepanthen is just a cream for dry skin, it works. It's what I've used my whole life."

"Because I wash my hands so much and I use hand sanitiser, you have to have great hand cream, and [Weleda Skin Food] ($17.50 from Priceline) is just the best," Madelaine Petsch told Vogue France. "I want my hands to look young for as long as possible. I do use sunscreen every day, which helps, but I know that hands are one of the first places to show ageing."

"Gemma Chan coined them 'eyebrators'," Lily James joked as she flashed a Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar ($310.13 from Jillian Dempsey) in an episode of Harper's Bazaar's What's In My Bag?. "You put it along your eyes and it kind of gets the blood flowing. It's kind of like my meditation. It's really good. I think it's just meant to sort of like get movement in the skin, and it makes you feel more alive — it's great after using [Charlotte Tilbury] Magic Cream."

In an interview with GQ, Sydney Sweeney explained that she counts her Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($31 from Sephora) as a must-have item. "I have one in every bag, every vanity, every bathroom. Vanilla's my favourite," she dished. "I'm almost out, but I put it on when I sleep. But then I also put it on during the day, which I hope that's correct. Hope I don't get in trouble for that. It's pretty good."

"People think I fully f**ked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right?," Bella Hadid questioned in her 2022 cover interview with Vogue. It’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book." Although Hadid didn't share her go-to face tape, we have seen TikTok creators turn to Elastoplast Scar Reducer Sheets ($37.99 from Chemist Warehouse) to get the job done. They're made of silicone just like pricier anti-wrinkle patch options, but you can shop a box of 21 patches for less than $40 from your local chemist.

"I just could not believe how good my skin looked," Michaela Coel told The Cut after she tried a Hydrafacial ($249 from Clear Skin) for the second time. The actress and writer told the publication she'd committed to taking the time to book in regular treatments for the sake of her skin.
