Skin Regimens and the Ageless Woman

Halle Berry once said that “beauty is not just physical.” Halle’s fountain of youth flows from a myriad of self care actions that she partakes in every day. Halle made skin care a priority ever since she was a teenager and as a result, 54 has her looking fabulous! Many have wondered what Halle does to maintain her youthful appearance. she took everyone by surprise when she revealed her regimen for a social media challenge during quarantine. Halle mentioned that she started doing at home facials at 16 years old and she continued the habit into her adult life. Her 4 step skin regimen includes cleansing, exfoliation, application of a hydration mask and moisturization.






She does this regimen religiously. Every day for twice a day!

Having a skincare regimen is extremely important for maintaining a youthful and glowing appearance! why do regimens work? well--regimens are like homeostasis for the skin. having a system of care is instrumental to maintaining equilibrium of the skin. equilibrium that results in skin suppleness and firmness. with a daily skin care regimen, the skin will always be nourished and replenished; key factors that prevent elastosis.

Surprisingly, Halle is not doing anything out of the ordinary. she simply has a regimen that she sticks to. this why she is able to maintain such a youthful look at 54.





Halle also became very conscious of what she puts into her body when she was diagnosed with diabetes over 30 years ago. She weaned herself off of insulin by being conscious of what she consumes.

“The way you treat your body and what you put in it is what shows on your face and that’s really, I think, the secret!” said Halle.
