How to Do Olivia Culpo’s Skincare Routine

A hydrating routine for “pretty normal” skin.

Olivia Culpo describes her skin as “pretty normal.” But it wasn’t always that way. “When I was modelling and competing in Miss Universe, I was using so much makeup and I started to really understand what it can do to your skin if you sleep in it and don’t let your skin breathe. I used to get cystic acne and I hated trying to cover it up—and it can hurt! Once I started being regimented about my skincare, that cleared up.”1

These days, the 30-year-old influencer, model and reality star maintains her complexion with an array of skincare products, some of which she has been using for years. (“Once I find a brand that I love, I’m very loyal.”2)

Her non-negotiables? “Hydration, sleep, and sun protection.” Then, she adjusts the rest of her routine according to “stress levels and hormones.” “I am always making changes depending on where my skin is at.”3

Lately, she’s been on a mission to support her skin barrier. “In my 20s, I feel like I was all about exfoliation and I would get this glow and I loved it so much. And I still love exfoliation, but I hadn’t realized how important it is to protect your skin barrier. I have actually realized that since I have changed my school of thought... I have less breakouts because my skin barrier is healthier, my pores aren’t stretching and they aren’t getting as clogged.”4

Read on for all the details on Olivia’s current routine.

Her Morning Skincare Routine

1. Cleansers

Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm

Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm: “Using a cleansing balm for me has been a complete game-changer. Cleansing balm with cold water wakes up the face, super hydrating, protects the skin barrier, and honestly I really do feel like it helps keep away breakouts.”

Shani Darden Cleansing Serum

Shani Darden Cleansing Serum: “I wash my face with Shani Darden Cleansing Serum.”

Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser

Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser: “Or sometimes, twice or three times a week, I’ll use the Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser.”

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser: “Plant-based cleanser by Sunday Riley. So I love this because I find it to be very hydrating.”

2. Eye Gel

Bioderma Sensibio Eye Soothing Moisturising Eye Contour Gel

Bioderma Sensibio Eye Soothing Moisturising Eye Contour Gel: “Next, I will wake myself up with this Bioderma Gel Contour, and I just put this right under my eyes. And I’ll usually just keep this on while I’m doing something around the house, like making my bed or a drink or something, coffee, because it really, really wakes up the eyes.”

3. Vitamin C Serums

iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance

iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+: “After that, I will use my iS Clinical Pro-Heal drops. I am obsessed with these. Basically a highly concentrated vitamin C, which is really important for protecting the skin throughout the day and also helping to rebuild collagen and whatnot. Vitamin C is something that I’m learning is very important for the skin.”
