Have you ever noticed how oh-so-flawless Zendaya’s skin always looks?

From red carpet events to the stunning selfies she shares on her social media, Zendaya’s skin constantly makes us envious.

We’re often led to believe that celebrity skincare routines cost thousands each month thanks to top-notch facialists, luxury skincare product and exclusive cosmedic procedures. As it turns out, Zendaya’s skincare and beauty routine is as easy as 1,2,3.

In an interview with Seventeen, Zendaya did us a huge favour and revealed the simple beauty and skin routine she follows to achieve ultimate skin goals. The singer only uses a few drugstore products so they’re super affordable!

Firstly, Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes, then Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and last but definitely not least, Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm.

“Less is more when it comes to taking care of your skin. I use makeup-removing wipes, a really good, lightweight moisturiser, and Carmex for my lips. You can’t have chapped lips!” Z shared.

Zendaya swears by products that avoid harsh ingredients that might dry out the skin or cause long term damage. “I use anything that’s easy on the skin. I don’t like things that are too harsh or too strong,” she revealed.

The star admits that clear skin is not an overnight sensation, however; a regular routine with soothing products and a lil bit of patience and persistence is definitely the way to go.

As for Zendaya’s stance on makeup? Natural looks all the way!

“I was encouraged by my fans to not wear so much makeup,” Zendaya said. “You know, especially being a teenager, we like to think that we need makeup every day, even for going to school—like, ‘I can’t go outside without my eyeliner.’ It’s weird! I don’t know why we do that. So, I enforced this whole natural thing.”

So there we have it. Maybe it’s time to ditch the harsh treatments, put down the dodgy home remedies and get back to basics? It’s definitely working for our girl Z, so it might just be a hit for you too! And when the routine is so cheap, you’ve got nothing to lose.
