Ester Expósito’s Skin Care Tip From Her Madre and Weekend Makeup

Welcome to Ester Expósito’s bathroom. Once the Spanish actress pulls back her hair, she gets down to business, starting with her easy skin care routine. First up, a genius trick her madre taught her: adding coffee grounds to her gentle cleanser for an exfoliating boost to help with teenage acne. 

Her skin care routine is simple—but for makeup, there are a few more steps involved. “Years ago, when I used to do my terrible makeup” she teases in a self-deprecating way “I would take hours.” For the sake of Vogue’s iconic Beauty Secrets video series, Expósito is giving us a quick glowy weekend look in eight minutes flat. 

The final result is all about complementing her features—making makeup her friend, not her enemy. “In the end, I believe that makeup should enhance what you already have.”
