How to Do Gwyneth Paltrow’s Skincare Routine

“I’m obsessed with exfoliating. It’s my thing.”

“I like my wrinkles, and I’m happy about that part of me that’s getting older, that’s lived a long time and has some wisdom. For me, I feel like I want to embrace it but also try to look and feel as good as possible while it’s happening.”1

That’s how Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow feels about the aging process these days, now that she’s 52.

The actress-turned-entrepreneur once admitted that she would “try anything” in pursuit of youthful-looking skin. “Except I won’t do Botox again, because I looked crazy. I looked like Joan Rivers!”2

Instead, she’s been relying on Xeomin anti-wrinkle injections (for which she’s a spokesperson), LYMA Laser treatments, and a daily routine featuring her own line of Goop Beauty clean skincare products.

Of course, we all know that Gwyneth believes in a holistic lifestyle, too. “One of the things that I’ve really learned... is how important it is to take good care of your skin from the inside out. And that means hydration, exercise, breathing fresh air, going for a walk, eating foods that are high in nutritional density. I really believe that as women, we should feel free to do whatever we want as we age in order to feel our best selves.”3

Read on to find out how she takes care of her skin—both inside and out.

Goop Beauty GOOPGLOW 20% Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Glow Serum: “If you use this vitamin C and hyaluronic serum every single morning for a week, I promise you, everybody’s going to say, ‘Oh my god, your skin looks incredible. What are you doing?’ It comes in two parts—a bottle of L-ascorbic acid... and a bottle of the ultimate weightless moisturizer, hyaluronic acid. We keep the two separate until you’re ready to use it so the product stays potent through the whole time you’
