How Ashley Tisdale Eases Her Anxiety Through Skin Care

At this stage in her life, actor Ashley Tisdale doesn t feel the need to rush her beauty rituals. “One of the things I ve learned is that when I go to my dermatologist or get a facial, they really take the time to wash your face…It s so important to really take the time,” she says as she massages a Joanna Vargas cleanser into her skin, followed by an exfoliating pad to combat a rogue breakout. 

The 36-year-old thanks her grandma for teaching her thoughtful skin-care practices. “One thing that I have always done is spend a lot more on my skin care than my makeup,” she says. Next, she massages a Nurse Jamie roller across her cheeks, subsequently soothing her tense jaw. “Self-care is super important to me, and skin care is a part of that. I m very open about how I ve struggled with mental health,” she says, attributing recent anxiety to being quarantined at home for so long and having a baby. Accordingly, Tisdale has created rituals that ground her—from opening up a window to burning a candle or doing her skin-care routine morning and night.

“Definitely being a mom has changed my beauty routine because I just don t got time to do stuff. It s become definitely quicker for sure,” she says while applying the Rose Inc concealer to her under-eye. She contours with Chanel bronzing cream and a Rose Inc brush before combatting oiliness with Laura Mercier s setting powder. Though she gets her brows laminated, she fills in sparse spots with a pencil. Her biggest makeup secret? Adding a sun-kissed glow across her face with the Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. To save time, she swipes the same powder bronzer over her eyelids and lower waterline, layered below a hint of shimmer.

She blends her blush upward and swipes Charlotte Tilbury s pillow talk lipstick across her lips—a product she ll keep in her purse for quick touch-ups. Then, with the application of a hand cream she s not quite ready to announce—“I have been developing something with Frenshe…and it smells very good,” she does reveal—and a spritz of the Chloé Eau de Parfum, she’s on her way.
