Every time you watch a runway or a red carpet, there is always the striking flawless skin of the models and celebrities – a trend being dubbed millionaire skin.
Whether it’s Emma Watson, Kate Winslet, or any of the other A-listers that graced the stages at the Met Gala and Emmys, their skin is always as stunning as their outfits or hair. And in an increasing number of cases, such celebrities have shown off this skin by stepping out without an inch of makeup.
Of course, these celebrities have the money and the resources to buy any and all skincare products going, but it doesn’t actually cost that much to get your own millionaire skin. You only need the skincare secrets of these millionaires to achieve similar results.

Skin becomes tired and looks dull after accumulating makeup and other pollutants during the day. Cleansing the skin helps keep it clear and brings back its natural glow.
To get the best results, cleanse every night using a gentle cleanser to avoid clogging the skin pores. In particular, the best cleansers are those labelled as non-comedogenic.
If you have the type of skin that loses moisture easily – you can see which skin type you have here – then top off the cleanser with a moisturiser containing humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerine.
At the same time, if you are low on cash, petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline can do a fantastic job as a moisturizer. Just avoid applying too much of it due to the risk of acne when the skin pores get blocked.

Therefore, you should always wear sunscreen, whether you’re being exposed to the sun for a long, or short time. You can read more about this in our What is SPF and why is it so important? guide.
Skin exposure to the sun also, of course, comes with the risk of skin cancer, dark spots and can even make the existing spots darker. This damages your skin, robbing it of the millionaire glow and clarity. To keep the skin in perfect shape, opt for a waterproof sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 and that guards against UV rays.

The other way to attain millionaire skin is by approaching skincare from the inside out. Your body needs the right nutrients to help the skin form and repair itself. Therefore you need to eat a diet full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources such as legumes, eggs and fish.
You also need to top these with healthful fats like avocado, olive oil and nuts.
At the same time, you need to avoid various foods that can affect your skin like processed foods, sugar-filled foods, and too much alcohol.
If you suffer from any skin condition then consult a dermatologist on the best foods for your condition. We explain more about this in our skin food guide.

Also, once you become complacent in keeping your skincare routine it’s harder to get back on schedule. By keeping to the routine and not switching products in and out too often, you will get the results you are looking for.

A session of LED light treatment is another way to attain ageless, millionaire skin. It helps the skin deal with various conditions like cystic acne and other topical skin issues. The LED treatment is akin to taking daily vitamins for the body and you can get various LED masks and treatments for a wide range of conditions.
Clinical studies have shown that:
The bottom line is that you don’t need super genes or millions in the bank to attain flawless millionaire skin. You just need to stick to a skincare routine and eat properly – sorry that’s boring but it works!
