Emma Roberts Shared Her *Flawless* Skincare Routine With Us & It May Surprise You

We opened our convo with the nightly skincare routine she uses the most. I say “the most” because Emma has a two-and-a-half year old daughter, and well...you aren’t always getting your full skincare routine in as a mom. “I love Biologique Cleanser — which I just learned how to actually say the name of the cleanser, so that was big for me,” Roberts explained for step one. She noted that actually alternates between the Biologique Cleanser and the Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser due to its exfoliation properties.

She then grabs the classic Neutrogena Blue Makeup Remover Wipes that she's used since she was 14 — a universal product that most girls, including myself, had in their bathroom cabinets at one point or another. Roberts follows the makeup remover wipes with Dr. Diamond’s Plasma, describing it as a “real staple” in her routine that aids her *melasma. “It's really changed my skin over the last couple of months,” she claimed. To finish off her skincare steps, Roberts opts for a La Mer Eye Concentrate and a mist like the Georgia Louise Rose Water (because who wouldn’t want your face to smell like a rose before you hit your pillow case).

“My friends and I always are saying, 'If we find something you love, buy a few of them,' because they'll inevitably discontinue your favorite thing,” Roberts said of her beloved Amore Pacific Moisture Plumping Dewy Mist that she can’t seem to find on shelves anymore. Been there, felt that — stars really are just like us. (Although, Emma, if you’re reading this, we did in fact find it online for you!)

At this point in Roberts' nightly skincare routine, I asked if she uses toner — something that TikTok just can’t get enough of right now. “I've flirted with toner, but I don't have a go-to,” Roberts responded. That’s when I recommended (or sent an email to her team about, because I surely forgot the name of the product on the video call), the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Revitalizing Toner, which has completely improved my combination skin. And if the Emma Roberts told me I have nice skin, then something from my 8-step skincare routine must be working!

As we drove deeper into her daily habits, Emma got candid about her morning routine. “I feel like this is polarizing, but I don't necessarily wash my face every morning,” she said. “Sometimes if I'm just running out the door, I'll do the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and sunscreen and be out.”

Roberts loves a good under eye patch, in which her current favorites are from skyn and Chanel. “If I'm taking more time in the morning and going to put on makeup, I'll use the new and improved Finishing Touch Flawless face and it gets like all the peach fuzz off.” She'll likely then grab Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Hyaluronic Serum, some sunscreen, and go about her day.

Emma also travels — a lot. So, of course, I had to get the 4-1-1 on her must-have carry-on items: a U Beauty Plasma Lipand a good brow gel. Oh, and an under eye concealer for those pesky dark circles. “I've always had really dark under eyes my whole life, whether I get sleep or not,” Roberts said. “Sometimes I think it's chic,” she adds. “And then other times I look at photos and I think I need more concealer.” As I type this at midnight, I will most definitely be adding her go-to concealer stick from Clé de Peau to my cart. There is one item though that Roberts likely won’t have in her travel bag.

She explained the one beauty trend she could do without, and it circles back to the early 2000’s. “It was all about having really glossy lips to a point where the wind would blow and your hair would get stuck in your lip gloss,” Roberts said. “People always [ask], ‘Do you like gloss? Do you want to try some gloss?’ I'm like, ‘No.’ It's a matte lip for me, always.” *Insert her go-to lipstick and lip liner, Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow-Talk, here*

Roberts voiced, “But with beauty, you can also never say never. Because I feel like we all say we're not going to do certain things and then inevitably times change, trends change, and we end up trying it all.” As long as the skirt trend over jeans never comes back, that notion is A-O-K with me. And like the skirt over jeans trend that many of us regret, Roberts named the one beauty mistake she wishes she could take back — spray tanning.

She laughed, “I see photos, and it's just so hilarious that me and my friends have the biggest smile on our face with our orange spray tans, thinking we look so great, and we did not.” Roberts continued, “I'm now more about embracing my paleness or just using some bronzer. I don't need a full spray tan. Once a year, I'll think about getting one and have to talk myself out of it.” That feeling is one that we can all relate to—remember the thin eyebrow trend? Because I tried deeply to forget that phase.

Now the Aquamarine actress has the gift of being able to spot a spray tan from “a mile away,” and she can do it with flawless skin and a good book in her hand (with her most current read being Time’s Mouth)!
