Hailey Bieber has undeniably glowing skin, even for a celebrity. Take a quick peek at her Instagram feed and you’ll find countless pictures of the 24-year-old model with minimal to no makeup looking insanely radiant. While her complexion can of course be credited to her access to the industry’s most coveted aestheticians and experts (and the fact that she can't yet rent a car), her personal secret to great skin is actually quite simple: go to the beach.
“My skin feels the best when I’ve been in the ocean,” the 24-year-old model tells BAZAAR.com. “Salt water is the best skin healer for me, and I’ve found that nature can be the most soothing for my sensitive skin.”
When she’s not oceanside, like during her Canadian quarantine with husband Justin Bieber in March, the model opts for nature-derived products that evoke the same feeling. “My beauty philosophy is finding clean and nourishing products with ingredients from the Earth that are backed by science,” she explains. “I’ve recently discovered this whole world of natural beauty that I love.”
While clean beauty is a priority for Bieber, she's also somewhat of a skincare aficionado. She knows the ins and outs of active ingredients like retinol and how important they can be for maintaining youthful skin. “I love the new bareMinerals AGELESS collection with plant-based phyto-retinol,” says Bieber. “It’s way more gentle on my skin. I love the face and neck duo."
Bieber's love for a nature-inspired lifestyle even touched her quarantine diet. “I tried a plant-based diet for two months during quarantine,” she explains. “I felt great and I had a lot of energy, but it was not for me. I don't eat a strictly plant-based diet and I do still eat meat. I just don't eat a lot of it. I’ve picked up more fish, greens, and lentils.”
Like so many of us, the model used her downtime in quarantine to discover new products and master the art of an at-home facial. "After the stay-at-home order took place, I started testing out different face masks and indulging in facial massage. I work with a massage therapist in L.A. who has taught me a lot about Gua Sha and I'm a big believer in facial massage to keep the skin looking fresh and young. It also feels so luxurious.”
Her other at-home self-care secret? A relaxing steam. “I love to be able to like sweat in a steam and then follow it with cold water, especially during the flu season or if you feel a cold coming on. It’s a good stress-relieving too," she adds.
While products can help you maintain great skin, diet and exercise play a huge role in your skin's radiance and texture. On that front, Bieber decided to take Zoom workout classes in quarantine (celebrities, they're just like us). “It was very jarring to go from a busy lifestyle where I’m constantly moving to complete standstill, so I gave myself a quarantine workout routine,” she says. “I used to be a dancer, so I love Pilates because it really elongates and strengthens my muscles. That’s probably my favorite workout. I also recently started to box for some cardio. I found that remembering the combinations and learning how move your body in boxing has been good for mental health.”
