High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens took to her Instagram stories to share a little bit of her night routine with her 33.3 million followers. In this new no-makeup selfie, she kept it real (like, really real) by showing her face covered in dots from her anti-pimple cream. Somehow, I do not look nearly as cute when I'm doing this-weird!
Vanessa has opened up to Women's Health in the past about being a big skin care fanatic. Ive fallen in love with taking care of my skin, she told Women's Health . It feels like a form of self-love every time I put on some Billie Holiday, light a candle, and apply my face mask and my serums and use my lights. (Shes referring to her LightStim kits , which emit multiple wavelengths of light to reduce signs of aging and prevent breakouts.) I look at that as self-care.
As for that pimple cream, it's likely a sulfur-based treatment. They tend to look chalkier than say a salicylic acid treatment but are great at purifying the skin and drawing out impurities. This Mario Badescu one is a cult-favorite amongst celebrities and aestheticians. To use it, you insert a cotton swab into the bottle to pick up the pink product and then tap it directly onto your blemishes.
After sleeping in her anti-pimple medication, and getting a facial, Vanessa posted another no-makeup selfie marveling at how glowy her skin looks. Guess all that self care is really working!
