Sporting a colorful orange eyeliner, Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram on Monday to share her secret to glowing skin with her 30.5 million followers.
"For you kind folks asking me to drop the
"$$, I know I know but I gotta be honest," she wrote acknowledging how pricey many of her items are.
Every day, Teigen uses a cleanser, sun protection, two moisturizers, and more
Recommended by her dermatologist Shani Darden, she begins her routine by cleansing her face with iS Clinical Cleansing Complex (which retails at $44 for 6 fl oz). According to dermatologist Dr. Lela Lankerani, cleansing your skin at least once a day is crucial in removing a build-up of dirt and dead skin, preventing acne and premature aging, and keeping your skin properly hydrated.
Teigen also shared she has a supply of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare alpha beta peel pads which cost $88 for a 30-pack that she uses daily to exfoliate her skin, though she did not specify when in her routine they make an appearance. According to the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare website, you should apply the peel pad to your skin directly after cleansing.
While washing your face regularly can help maintain your skin's hydration levels, it isn't enough to get your skin the moisture it needs. Teigen follows it up by moisturizing with iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex ($89 for 1.7 fl oz).
Moisturizing your face can reduce your chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness, according to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. While it's a common misconception that people with acne shouldn't add more moisture to the equation, moisturizing your skin twice a day in the mornings and night after cleansing can actually reduce the overproduction of oil in your skin and decrease your acne.
Teigen then moves on to protecting her skin from sun damage with Control Corrective's SPF 30, which rings up to $38 for 2.5 fl oz. You might not burn in the sun, but it's important for everyone to wear sunscreen on their face especially every day. SPF can protect against sun damage, premature aging, fine lines, and even deadly cancer.
She tops it off with another moisturizer, La Mer's Crème de la Mer ($335 for 2 fl oz), and a skin serum, La Mer's The Concentrate ($370 per fl oz). You might scratch your head and wonder why there's a need for second moisturizer but the practice isn't entirely uncommon.
A second moisturizer can help you maintain moister throughout the day — especially in dryer climates like Southern California where Teigen lives. This can be especially helpful for people with more mature skin that are looking to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
She also shared some of her non-daily treatments
Teigen also keeps "a steady stream of @bioreus chin and nose strips," which retail for $7.49 for a 14-pack on Amazon. Nose and chin strips are small strips applied to the nose and chin areas and peeled off to extract blackheads and other blemishes by removing the top layer of skin.
Her other non-daily treatments include facials from Dr. Jason Diamond, Dr. Simon Ourian's firm and fade cream when her skin is "feeling icks." According to Ourian's website, the fade cream is meant to boost collagen in the skin, which helps it regenerate more quickly.
