Shay Mitchell Shares Her Secrets For Flawless Skin

Bella Breakdown

Fans of the cult series, Pretty Little Liars, watch the show with awe for a variety of reasons. One, the drama. Teenage schemes, secrets and sexy encounters are enough to make you drool with your eyes glued to the television. And let’s be real, it makes us grateful that our own lives aren’t quite that interesting. Two, the fashion.

These girls are our adolescent idols, and while we were all wearing Forever 21 until age 18, these fashionistas are pulling couture out of their backpacks like nobody’s business. Three, the eye candy. The clothes, the men, the women, the beauty! It’s honestly insane that any one show could be filled with such beautiful people.

One of the show’s stunning actresses, Shay Mitchell, is an icon in her own right. She’s an actress, fashionista, beauty ambassador, and most recently, the founder of her own brand of stylish travel gear. One of the things Mitchell is constantly asked about though, is her flawless skin and what she does to stay looking so fresh.

In an interview with Glamour, the star revealed some her beauty hacks. Her first tip is all about travel. When you’re traveling as much as Mitchell, skin care while mid-air is vital.

“No makeup on the plane. When you’re flying, the air isn’t as clean and it’s dehydrating, so I keep my cleanser in my bag and take my makeup off right before I get on-board. I’ll usually put it back on before we land—I’ll set up a little mirror situation—or I’ll just wait until I get to where I’m going.”

And when it comes to those days when you’re stuck on the ground, Mitchell recommends sticking to a consistent routine.

“Having a routine is key. Be sure to wash your face off—all your makeup, gone—completely every night. I love the Bioré Charcoal Cleanser. It’s my go-to. And then I make sure to exfoliate at least once a week. It doesn’t matter how much makeup you have on top, you need to start with a good clean canvas. Oh, and wear sunscreen all the time. You need it whether you’re inside or outside!”

Looking like a celebrity may have just gotten a little bit easier, it’s all about that self care!
