3 Skincare Rules Olivia Culpo Lives By
If there’s one person we’re always drooling over, it’s Olivia Culpo. She’s absolutely stunning, her skin is flawless, and her sense of style is so on point – we literally want everything she wears! Even though she’s constantly traveling, waking up for 4 am call times, photo shoots and filming, she still manages to glow her way through life. Which got us thinking, what’s her secret? We had to find out everything: from her ride-or-die products to her three life-changing beauty secrets. Here’s what she told us:
Olivia’s Top 3 Beauty Tips Of All Time:
1. Drink a lot of water
Olivia knows that the secret to gorgeous-looking skin is drinking plenty of water (you should aim for at least 2 liters a day). Without it, your skin can look dull, your fine lines will be more noticeable, and your pores will also appear more dilated. And to top it off, when your body is dehydrated to compensate for the lack of moisture, your body will try to retain any water, so you’re more likely to feel bloated, while your face will be puffy. So, the lesson here is: drink up.
2. Get plenty of sleep
No matter how many miracle creams you use, nothing has the same transformative powers as a good night’s sleep. According to the American Academy, one in three adults don’t get enough sleep. As a consequence of too little sleep, you’ll have dark under eyes, inflammation, and your skin won’t have the time it needs to fully repair. Check out this post to find out more on how to get the most out of your beauty sleep.
3. Always wear sunscreen
We realize that applying sunscreen every day may seem like a bit of a chore – especially on a cloudy day! But actually, 90% of how your skin ages is completely within your control, and it’s directly related to sun exposure. So, applying sunscreen every morning, with SPF 30 and 5-star UVA blockers is essential. Just make sure you apply it before your primer, and twenty minutes before you leave the house, as it takes this long to activate. Read this post for more tips on SPF.

The formula is simple, yet effective – it’ll replenish the moisture reservoirs in your skin, leaving it feeling soft and plump. If used regularly, it can even help to soften the appearance of fine lines.
