“I wish I had worn more sunscreen as a kid. I was from the era of, you put baby oil [on] and you put tin foil around a record, and you hold it...and you just try to get all the sun that you can get — which is terrible for you,” she said.

Being a famous actress, Brooke Shields effortlessly afford luxurious facial treatments. However, she chose a facial roller to freshen up her skin in the morning. “The circulation that I feel when I roll...there’s like a pinker quality to my skin. And I feel like it’s waking up my face, waking up my skin,” she shared.

It is believed that we should apply moisturizers before sleeping because, at that time, the skin regenerates. The actress says she prefers a nourishing balm that she can wash off without using hot water. “It’s anti-inflammatory, it has a really great texture (and doesn’t need a soap to remove it), but my skin still feels moisturized after. I don’t do the vitamin C at night; I do the vitamin A little ampules,” she shares.
Her beauty routine is simple.

You don’t need to apply complicated skincare routines, but doing something simple daily can help you achieve a perfect complexion.
Brooke Shields said “We don’t really think of our skin as an organ, but it is the largest organ of the body,” She added “So as I got older, I started enjoying the ritual or the idea that it’s not a chore to take care of your skin...it’s a privilege. It doesn’t have to be 20 minutes. It can be seven minutes.”
