New Mom Kristen Bell Spills Her Skin Secrets
- On her glowing skin: “I’ve learned that less is more. It’s interesting, because my skin has never been as good as it was when I was pregnant. The minute I found out I was pregnant, I had, like a 10-year-old’s skin! So, really, all I do is cleanse and moisturize, with a little bit of exfoliation in there.”
- On her sunscreen obsession: “I use some kind of SPF every day, and I stayed out of the sun starting at a very young age. I remember laying out when I was an adolescent, and I remember going to tanning salons because I thought it was cool. Then I got my head on straight, because I realized that I did not want to look like the women who worked in that tanning salon when I got older!”
- On makeup and her daughter: “You know, I don’t think I’d share beauty advice with my daughter unless she asked, because I don’t want her narrative about beauty to be only about how she looks. I’d want her interest in beauty to come from an artistic, creative perspective, and not from a place of feeling bad about herself. I love makeup, and I think that it can be a really fun way for mothers and daughters to bond, I don’t think that makeup should ever be treated as a mask. It should be fun!”
