At this stage in her life, actor Ashley Tisdale doesn't feel the need to rush her beauty rituals. “One of the things I've learned is that when I go to my dermatologist or get a facial, they really take the time to wash your face…It's so important to really take the time,” she says as she massages a Joanna Vargas cleanser into her skin, followed by an exfoliating pad to combat a rogue breakout.
The 36-year-old thanks her grandma for teaching her thoughtful skin-care practices. “One thing that I have always done is spend a lot more on my skin care than my makeup,” she says. Next, she massages a Nurse Jamie roller across her cheeks, subsequently soothing her tense jaw. “Self-care is super important to me, and skin care is a part of that. I'm very open about how I've struggled with mental health,” she says, attributing recent anxiety to being quarantined at home for so long and having a baby. Accordingly, Tisdale has created rituals that ground her—from opening up a window to burning a candle or doing her skin-care routine morning and night.
“Definitely being a mom has changed my beauty routine because I just don't got time to do stuff. It's become definitely quicker for sure,” she says while applying the Rose Inc concealer to her under-eye. She contours with Chanel bronzing cream and a Rose Inc brush before combatting oiliness with Laura Mercier's setting powder. Though she gets her brows laminated, she fills in sparse spots with a pencil. Her biggest makeup secret? Adding a sun-kissed glow across her face with the Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. To save time, she swipes the same powder bronzer over her eyelids and lower waterline, layered below a hint of shimmer.
She blends her blush upward and swipes Charlotte Tilbury's pillow talk lipstick across her lips—a product she'll keep in her purse for quick touch-ups. Then, with the application of a hand cream she's not quite ready to announce—“I have been developing something with Frenshe…and it smells very good,” she does reveal—and a spritz of the Chloé Eau de Parfum, she’s on her way.
