Every Product Reese Witherspoon Uses In Her Skin Care Routine

We love a good Reese Witherspoon recommendation, like this Charlotte Tilbury lipstick dupe. And considering the actress has her own book club, we’d say we’re not the only ones.

But when it comes to her beauty routine, the 49-year-old doesn’t share all too much too often. Previously, we’ve had to rely on her makeup artist and glam squad to give us the details and rarely hear from Reese herself.

Case in point? Reese’s makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher recently broke down The Morning Show star’s skin prep with Allies Of Skin for the show’s season four premiere.

“For Reese’s premiere look, I wanted her skin to look fresh, firm, and glowing under the lights,” Kelsey shared in a press release. “I prepped her complexion using a selection of Allies of Skin essentials that hydrate, lift, and protect, giving me the perfect canvas for makeup. With this lineup, Reese’s skin was hydrated, firm, and glowing, allowing her makeup to enhance, rather than cover, her natural beauty.”

It’ll come as no surprise that Biossance features heavily in the brand ambassador’s trusted products list, but there are a few other gems to be found too. Here’s every detail we could find about Reese Witherspoon’s skin care routine.

Step 1: Cleanser
