The foundation of our beauty regimes often come from our mothers who start us off with the basics at a young age, and these 5 stars have opened up on how their moms influenced the products they use or how they take care of their skin to this day. Some picked up a beauty secret or trick from their mother that they love so much they’ve used it for themselves, while others were just taught how to keep their skin looking young and fresh from an early age. Here is what they’ve said about their Mothers Rings and their beauty regime.
Kristen’s mom influenced her to use a good moisturizer and eye cream always: “One thing my mom did tell me when I was like 16, that her mother had told her, is that to prevent wrinkles you need to start your skincare regimen really early. So she had me using the right kind of moisturizer and an eye cream by the time I was 18, because she was all about preventive care for young-looking skin. Which I think has helped!”

Michelle loves witch hazel as a toner which is something she picked up from her mother: “My mom uses witch hazel as a toner, since she was a kid. And I think that is probably the best tip I picked up from her. Because it’s so easy. It’s so convenient. It’s in a drug store. I’m big on convenience because I don’t have time to do much else with my shooting schedule and it really does wonders for your skin.”
Nicky’s mom started her on an anti-aging regime from a young age: “My mom taught me from a young age to take care of my skin. She always said it’s never too early to start using anti-aging products. I’ve been really good at using them since the age of 17.”

Sophie’s mother taught her how to take care of her skin: “I think my mum always tried to impress on me quite a good beauty regime when it comes to things like taking make up off or whatever but actually I’m quite lazy, quite often I just go to sleep, especially if I’ve got amazing eye make up on, I’ll just sleep in it until the next morning.”
Thandie uses the same favourite product that her mother has always used: “I think a great moisturizer is a must, especially if you’re in sun or wind. My mother used Oil of Olay when I was a kid and now I use it.”
