"My facial care routine is based on having good products that suit my skin and on daily consistency", "My mother has always insisted that the most important thing to have beautiful skin is to clean it well", she reveals.

After so many years in the film industry, the actress confirms that she has learned a good amount of tricks, but her favorite when it comes to makeup is also a very unexpected one: "On top of foundation, my makeup artist takes a face cream that's pretty light, and she puts it on me by pressing it with the palms of her hands. That shimmer of the cream on top of the makeup looks super fresh and gives a glow that looks great."

08 Blanca Suárez

Actress Blanca Suárez has an illuminated skin, imperfection free and which shines with its own light. Blanca reveals that "having combination skin and depending on the month of the day, my skin asks for different things. That's why I've always been careful with oily textures, but now that I use Guerlain's new Abeille Royale Advanced Youth Aqueous Oil I apply it morning and night, it may seem that an oil is not a good idea as a 'primer' but I use this one even before I apply my makeup. Depending on how my skin is I use it as a serum and put cream after, but not much, and I usually use the mattifying line." "In my day to day I try to give myself a break from makeup", and she leaves us a beauty tip that she puts into practice in her day to day: "sometimes I mix a drop of makeup with the oil and create my own BB Cream".

09 Sarah Jessica Parker

The 58 years old actress from Sex in the City is an advocate for always going to bed with clean skin: "The thing I'm most diligent about is washing my face. I say to my husband, 'Oh, I'm so tired, Matthew! I don't want to wash my face.' He's like, 'Why do you need to?' He doesn't get it. I also always wear moisturizer and lip balm."

10 Sofia Vergara

The Colombian actress says that “When I hear anybody commenting that a product is good or beneficial, I buy it, I love trying everything. I love products… and I try to take care of myself as much as I can.”

Sofia is right and although not all products work for everyone, the best approach is to try a variety of products until you hit on the ones that works best for you. Of course, working with an expert can also help guide you on this journey.
