Beauty secrets from Julia Roberts

Less Is More

In a 2015 interview, Roberts revealed that her beauty routine is rather simple. When asked ‘How would you treat yourself if you only had five minutes?’, she humorously replied: ‘If it was any shorter, I’d still be in bed!’ One of her best beauty tips, then, is a simple routine.

Regarding her grooming, she stated: “I brush my teeth. This is the main thing. When I have time, I use the Lancôme Mousse Radiance cleansing foam and the Hydra-Intense mask. But I usually brush my teeth, wash my face and put on sunscreen. I’m a busy mom and sometimes I just put sunscreen on my kids and go out and end up burning my nose. So I try to take better care of myself.”

Never without sunscreen

Roberts never skips applying sunscreen, finding it valuable in preventing skin damage. “As a responsible mom with three outdoor-loving kids, I rely on a good sunscreen,” she told People in 2017. She prefers Shade SPF 30 because “it works no matter how much we sweat or how long we spend in the water. It’s magical!”

Hand care

Roberts pays particular attention to the care of her hands, as hands are one of the first places to show signs of aging. “Absolue Hand is one of my favourites, it’s like butter,” she said in 2018. She also uses Weleda’s cream, stating: “I put the cream on my hands after washing the dishes and end up putting it on my elbows and my feet. Before I know it, the green tube is already empty!”

Priority to conscious nutrition

Avoiding the pitfalls of the diet industry, Roberts focuses on mindful eating. “We try to eat sensibly,” he explains. She advises her children saying: “You have to eat the good to get the good.” In this context, her advice is to stay calm, drink water, sleep well and be happy.

Finding your scent is everything

Roberts loves woody fragrances, avoiding too sweet. “I love perfumes with patchouli and earthy notes,” she says. “There is patchouli in La Vie Est Belle, and we tried many versions of the fragrance until we settled on it.” She has a funny perfume story: “I once wrote to my mom about a girl who was handing out perfume in a store and was chasing me with her spray bottle. Now I’m a “professional spritzer girl!”
