Gwyneth’s Dry-Skin Routine

Written by:the Editors of goopUpdated on:

You’d never know it, but Gwyneth has had dry skin for most of her life. “My skin tends to get really, really parched,” she says. “I’m one of those people who are constantly layering on face oil, then moisturizer—all the time.”

As it is for many people, this time of year is typically the worst time for her dry skin. Her strategy—a series of clean moisture-bomb essentials—works to keep her skin dewy-fresh, soft, hydrated, and remarkably youthful. And almost every step of her clean skin care routine for dry skin does double duty in terms of delivering major moisture and nourishment, along with long-term results like glow, firmness, and elasticity.

“Dry skin makes your crow’s-feet more pronounced. And I get puffy, too. If you’re at altitude—on a plane, in the mountains—it’s even more intense. So we made these eye masks super active, with a really potent, concentrated serum. I’ve never had an eye mask this good—10 minutes really changes the way your eyes look.”

    “I think everybody knows by now how in love I am with our face oil. I use it multiple times a day. Your skin looks firmer. Wrinkles look smoothed out. You glow. It’s the best.”

    “This cream—I could not live without. When people say, 'Your legs look so good,' I swear, this is the reason. The way it makes the light hit your legs is incredible: If you have an event to go to and you’re going to be showing your legs, this is it. It’s rich, it’s hydrating, and it's ultra, ultranourishing. It just gives you this beautiful, moisturized sheen, and it’s amazing.”

    “My skin looks plumper, smoother, more luminous—and I keep getting asked what I’ve done. It’s like an instant reset for tired, dull skin.”

    “This is a clean lip balm with this super moisturizing formula, really cushiony and nourishing. I have the clear balm in every pocket, every handbag, and in my car. I need lip balm every two minutes, basically.”
