How to Do Chrissy Teigen’s Skincare Routine

Her favourite products for “glowing, fresh skin.”

Chrissy Teigen rose to fame as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model with an unabashed love for junk food. But that’s not the only seemingly unfair aspect of her life. She’s also been blessed with a flawless complexion—and in her 20s, she did the bare minimum to maintain it. 

In 2015, she admitted: “When I come home after a long day, I’m not great about keeping everything up—the serums, the lotions, and the potions that I have. Sometimes, I don’t even wash my face.”1

But as she’s gotten older (she’s now 38), she’s been putting a little more effort in. “I will admit I am def proud [of] my skin lately and feeling myself,” she boasted on her Instagram.2 

Her main issue is dryness. “I’m very dry all the time, so anything that gets me moisture, I’m happy with. I like having glowing, fresh skin.”1 (Don’t we all?!) But on social media, she’s also documented her blackheads and the occasional pimple, all in the spirit of keeping it real. “I fully believe that if you show the good, you’ve got to show the bad. This is the bad,” she said in an Instagram story.

Not one for complicated routines, Chrissy relies on a rotation of products and treatments recommended by her trusted celebrity skin experts. She also has a wardrobe of face masks, pore strips and pimple patches to target every possible skin issue. 

Here’s a closer look at everything she uses on her skin, morning and night.
