8 Drew Barrymore Has A 3-Step Skincare Routine

Nowadays, brands are marketing extremely complicated skincare routines, some even going up to ten or more steps. Drew Barrymore does not agree with the over-complication of a skincare regimine. Instead, Barrymore sticks to three consistent steps in her routine.

Barrymore starts with a gentle cleanser, and she particularly enjoys “a good Cetaphil,” which can be found at any drugstore. Next comes a toner, “anything from down and dirty witch hazel or I still love old-school Noxema or Sea Breeze.” The third and final step is a serum. “A brightening serum is a must” for Barrymore to keep her naturally glowing skin.

7 Barrymore Treats Her Neck And Chest

Even though skincare is not a new concept to the general public, many skincare fanatics still forget to take care of their necks and chests. Even Drew Barrymore, who loves skincare, has admitted to often forgetting to take care of these parts of her body.

Just like how Selena Gomez uses her social media to promote body positivity, Barrymore shares tips about skincare. She took to Instagram to talk about how important one’s neck and chest are, especially for those wanting to stay looking young. The neck and chest can develop lots of fine lines and wrinkles, so applying hydrating serums and moisturizer to these areas can significantly impact how young a person looks. Barrymore is very conscientious of taking care of these areas for this reason.

6 Drew Barrymore Loves Tinted Eye Creams

As many others do, Drew Barrymore struggles with dark circles under her eyes. Dark circles can be a product of thin skin, genetic discoloration, and a lack of sleep. Barrymore has essentially declared war on her dark circles and has tried nearly every product on the market to help them appear lighter.

Barrymore has found that while eye creams are effective, they really need to have a tint to really cover up her dark circles. She shared on Instagram that “white tinted and ones with a light pearl or pinky tone” tend to work best for her.

5 Barrymore Drinks Her Greens

While Drew Barrymore swears by her skincare routine, she is also aware that taking care of her gut and digestion is also important to keep a youthful glow. She focuses on her inner beauty by keeping a healthy diet and ensuring she has lots of dark green vegetables through supplements. Taking supplements has been a debate online, especially since the bad reaction to Kourtney Kardashian’s new supplement line.

Barrymore likes to drink her greens. She enjoys dissolvable tablets such as the 8G dissolvable greens. Chlorophyll specifically is something Barrymore swears by, and she loves drinking the supplement to increase her intake.

4 Drew Barrymore Swears By Aloe Vera

Whether using it for acne marks, bug bites, or even just a red flare up, Drew Barrymore swears by aloe vera. Many skincare brands have products that contain aloe vera, but Barrymore prefers to get it right from the source. The actress will cut open an aloe vera plant and spread its goo all over her face to help calm irritation.

Barrymore shared her experience with aloe vera on her Instagram. She admits to first being skeptical, wondering if this was just a myth. She was shocked by the results of her bug bite after leaving the meat of the plant on her skin for a couple of hours.

3 Enzyme Scrubs Give Drew Barrymore Her Youthful Glow

Exfoliating one’s face is extremely important whether one has acne or not. Removing dead skin cells and support the production of new cells is a great way to maintain a youthful glow, as long as one is not over-exfoliating their skin.

Drew Barrymore specifically loves enzyme scrubs, as they can be much gentler on the skin and really focus on cell reproduction. Barrymore previously struggled with large pores, but after trying the Juara Radiance Enzyme Scrub, her “pores shrank to zip. Zero. Tight.”

2 Drew Barrymore Prioritizes Sunscreen

As any devout skincare junkie knows, the entire skincare process is pointless without sunscreen. Sunscreen is the only way to truly protect your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, and pigmentation, which can all lead to pre-mature aging.

For these reasons, Drew Barrymore thinks sunscreen is the most important step in her routine. She has sensitive and acne-prone skin, however, so she initially struggled to find a sunscreen that worked for her. Instead of going with a celebrity sunscreen such as Kylie Jenner’s facial sunscreen, Barrymore found the Elta MD Broad-Spectrum SPF and is obsessed.

1 Drew Barrymore Embraces The Aging Process

While Drew Barrymore still does everything she can to maintain a youthful glow, she also embraces the aging process. She loves her laugh lines and is accepting that her skin and appearance is constantly changing as she gets older.

Barrymore has “never tried plastic surgery,” instead preferring to accept her natural beauty and her body. “Not messing with my face or chasing some unnatural beauty is a standard I live by.”
