Here’s How This 58-Year Old Oscar-Winner Keeps Her Skin Vibrant And Young!

"The predator wants your silence. It feeds their power, entitlement, and they want it to feed your shame."

Viola Davis is an accomplished actress known for movies like The Woman King, Fences, The Help, and many more. She is famous for being among the few people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony award in their careers. But what is even more amazing is that, even at 58, the actress still looks as youthful and vibrant as ever. Read on to find out the secrets to her radiant appearance.

The Hollywood icon’s beauty routine is sure to amaze many of her adoring fans. Davis loves using her favorite cosmetic products, such as certain kinds of lipstick or a specific eyeliner, to revamp her look for red carpet appearances or grand award show nights. “I’m completely into everything from undereye moisturizer to all shades of lipstick, which is surprising because I never used any products in my twenties,” Davis revealed in an interview with InStyle. “I feel more girlish and buoyant in my fifties than I ever have before.” She added. Undoubtedly, her open embrace of maximalism is yielding great results for the icon.

One of Davis’s lesser-known beauty secrets is her love for steaming her skin. In an interview with Hello Beautiful, she said, “I love steaming. We just bought a new house with a steam shower.” According to dermatologists, steaming can open up pores, flush out impurities, and make the skin much more receptive to products applied on the face afterward. In addition to steaming, Davis also prefers using acid peels occasionally to cleanse the pores of her skin.

Nevertheless, products and peels are not the only things that sustain and magnify Davis’s beauty as she ages. She prioritizes sleep like nothing else to maintain her health and well-being. Although getting good sleep is not always a given with her busy schedule, she told Yahoo! Lifestyle in an interview, “I go to sleep earlier at night” and “I’m asking for more time off which has helped me exponentially.” Sleep is a major component of looking good and, more importantly, feeling fresh when you rise early in the morning. In that sense, Viola Davis is setting the right example for her followers.

Besides steaming and getting sufficient sleep, the actress also takes adequate time to remove her makeup before bed every night. She told Real Simple, “I know that that’s really, really simple, but when I was younger, I had large pores and breakouts all over. And I never knew where they came from until I realized that mindlessly wiping my face for two seconds and jumping into bed wasn’t enough. Now, I make sure to steam, cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize—and it’s made all the difference.”
