The best beauty advice is passed down from mother to daughter. Proving our point is Kaia Gerber and her mother/twin/clone Cindy Crawford. Gerber is a superstar on and off the runway, and it’s no surprise that the 19-year-old listens to her mom, not only for professional modeling tips but also for skincare and beauty advice, as well. In a recent video, the model shared a cardinal point Crawford passed down to her: Whatever skincare you’re putting on your face, put it on your neck and chest, too.
“My mom has always taken such good care of her skin, and so I’ve kind of picked up things from her,” Gerber told viewers. “She’s always just been very conscious about what she’s putting on her skin, and one of the things she taught me is to handle your décolleté and don’t forget about your chest, especially with sunscreen.”
As a model, Gerber emphasizes the importance of a good skincare routine — particularly after the constant process of makeup application-removal-application during Fashion Month. She begins her routine washing her face with Youth To The People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser, next following up with Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, stating her preference for a chemical exfoliant over physical ones.
Gerber loves niacinamide, calling it one of her favorite ingredients of all time. She applies Paula’s Choice CLINICAL Niacinamide 20% Treatment all over her face to combat redness. One of the most interesting parts of Gerber’s routine is her use of the Glycelene Eye Repair Oil, which she loves because it’s good at disguising her naturally dark under eyes—yet another thing passed down from her mother, albeit not… quite the same.
Before moisturizing with Youth To The People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi , Gerber uses both a rose quartz gua sha tool and a jade face roller (she is very into crystals, so it’s no shock she’s into crystal-infused skincare, too).
Gerber concludes her skincare routine with Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++), and, as influenced by mom, she applies it on her face and chest—yes, even when it’s cloudy. Lastly, she finishes by applying Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and adding an additional blast of moisture with an essential oil-infused facial mist,Caudalie Beauty Elixir. Have you been taking notes?
