Nicole Kidman reveals her secret to youthful skin
She only turned 50 this week, but Nicole Kidman’s flawless skin would make even people half her age envious. Now, in a new interview with Allure, the Aussie superstar has revealed the secret to her age-defying beauty, and it’s sitting somewhere in your house right now – sunscreen.
With her porcelain skin, ensuring it stays protected is a priority for the Lion star. “In the morning I smother, smother sunscreen on,” she says. “I’m outside a lot and love exercising outdoors, but I don't like the sun on my skin because it’s very fair.”
The Neutrogena ambassador says she’s been “passionate” about sunscreen since she was a kid, explaining she “didn’t want to get freckles”.
“My parents have also had skin cancer, so I have to be really, really careful – I use the SPF 100,” she reveals. “I know it sounds like a lot, but it isn’t. I use it on my kids. I use it on myself. I’ve always had to do that.”
She even passed on her obsession with healthy skin to her Big Little Lies co-stars while on set. “I was always the one saying, ‘Here, you need to use this sunscreen.’ At the end, when we’re on the beach, even though it was cloudy, there were still times when the sun was coming through. I was always like, ‘Hey, everyone. Wear a hat. Put your sunscreen on.’”
And with skin like that, who could argue?
