The Secret to Renee Zellweger’s Glowing Skin Will Leave You Speechless!
"I believe in love, but I don't sit around waiting for it. I buy houses."
During her acting hiatus, Renée Zellweger made a rare red-carpet appearance at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards in 2014. The Bridget Jones Diary actor was 45 then and had been away from the limelight for a couple of years. To many, Zellweger looked too different, and speculations were rife about what happened. As she dealt with a very unwelcoming public examination of her looks, it made her prioritize what was really important.
The actor also put rumors to rest by attributing her transformation to being more content with life. She told PEOPLE, “I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.” Besides, the actor, in her 50s now, has been forthcoming about the aging process. She told The Sunday Times, “It [turning 50] felt like a whole new beginning without the nonsense, the point where you can stop listening to all those voices in your head…and become more authentically yourself.” She also told InStyle, “It’s not aging. It’s growing! It’s (the) acquisition of the most valuable things: experience and knowledge and grace and insight.”
While the two-time Academy Award winner may have gracefully accepted the aging process, there’s still a lot of curiosity regarding her glowing skin. Today, she looks as radiant as she did in one of her biggest roles opposite Tom Cruise in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire.
Her skincare routine is a well-kept secret. But celebrity makeup artist Dana Hamel may have let us in on a few things. Hamel has been credited with Zellweger’s flawless red-carpet makeup over the years. Her makeup routine is known to be rooted in best-in-class skin care. Hamel told Harper’s Bazaar, “There is no product that can simulate or replace a radiant inner glow.” That’s why when Hamel works with Zellweger, she told Harper’s Bazaar that she focuses “on creating healthy, clear skin as opposed to just slathering on shimmers and glow sticks”. So, before any red carpet appearance, Hamel ensures that Zellweger’s skin is hydrated, starting with a hydrating facial using products containing hyaluronic acid and skin-firming compounds. For this step, she uses tools like the Pause Fascia Stimulating Tool or the Ayurveda-based Kansa wand. According to Hamel, this helps improve blood flow and cell turnover, remove dead skin, boost collagen production, and optimize skin nutrition. Then, Hamel starts with makeup, often choosing a hydrating primer mixed with foundation.
Even when Zellweger is on her own, she ensures her skin is well-moisturized and has been known to use Skin Up’s Phil Pharma Hydrating Elixir. So, enough hydration, along with a healthy attitude toward aging, seem to be the secrets behind Zellweger’s signature fresh, dewy look.
