Nikki Reed, who recently married actor Ian Somerhalder, has shared some of her top beauty secrets, revealing that she loves using oils on her skin. The actress comments that she often mixes as many as five different oils together and uses it on her skin, while she also likes to make her own body lotions. She explained:
”With my skin, I like to start from scratch and really take care of it. I’m all about oils – I use a mixture of five and make my own lotions and things like that.”
When it comes to attending a big event, Nikki opts for natural but polished makeup, and makes sure her skin looks great by using one of her homemade skin oils all over. She even comments that she regularly applies olive oil to her face and loves how hydrating the oils are, while also being natural and inexpensive:
”I do my own eyebrows, so I’ll double check that there are no crazy hairs or anything, things like that. If I’m going out for an event, then I’ll put on more of a full face – I’ll put on lashes, do my brows, and put on some actual foundation. But on a regular night out that’s not for work, I am all about skin oils. I’m really into that process with my skin, I use like five different kinds of oils. I make all my body lotions by just mixing oils. I wash my face with soap and then use olive oil on my face.”
Nikki says that she realised how great oils can be for your skin after her mother passed down a budget-friendly beauty trick:
”We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, so my mum taught me to put oil in water, shake it up, and when I got out of the shower, I would spray it over my entire body. It’s the only true beauty ritual I have.”
