GAL GADOT may be recognized primarily for her acting prowess, but she’s equally celebrated for her effortless approach to beauty. While she gained prominence as the face of Gucci’s Bamboo fragrance, she has since become a Revlon ambassador, embracing a signature makeup style characterized by natural-looking skin paired with a bold cheek and red lip. Whether gracing the red carpet or enjoying downtime with her daughters, Gadot prioritizes beauty from within and isn’t afraid to explore different approaches to enhance her appearance.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, Gadot revealed her penchant for beauty products, expressing her love for testing various creams and serums. Her bathroom cabinet boasts an array of brands, reflecting her commitment to finding the most effective skincare regimen.

For those seeking to streamline their beauty routine with simple yet impactful products and practices, Gadot’s insights offer valuable guidance.

Staying hydrated is her number one beauty tip

“First and foremost is to drink lots of water, because it doesn’t matter how much moisturiser you put on your skin; if you’re dehydrated from within, nothing will help,” she told Byrdie.

When it comes to skincare though, for Gadot, water isn’t just for drinking. “I take Evian water spray with me,” she previously explained. “If you feel like your make-up has dried out during the day, it gives a boost of hydration.”

Her nighttime routine is all about self-care and skincare

For this mother of three, self-care dominates the hour or so Gadot gets to herself after putting her children to sleep. It all starts and ends in the bathroom, Gadot’s very own sacred space for pampering. “I’ll take a long shower, and I’ll meditate,” she told Self recently. “I will do my whole beauty routine of all the different things that I wear before I go to bed, serums and stuff like that.”

What’s particularly smart is that she does all of this before unwinding on the sofa with her husband. That way, when she starts feeling sleepy, her skin’s already ready for slumber. Post-shower, she doesn’t forget about hydrating the rest of her body either and actually loves an affordable lotion for this step. “I use lots of different body lotions, but my favourite is Nivea Rich and Nourishing Body Moisturiser — it’s cheap but it’s so good,” Gadot told Harper’s Bazaar Singapore.

She goes light on make-up in-between jobs

Though Gadot’s a former pageant girl and used to a full face, she’s not a fan of all the heavy make-up that comes with being on the stage and the screen. In fact, to offset all of the cosmetics she uses while working, she keeps it simple when she’s not on the job. “In my day-to-day life, I like to keep my make-up very light, so what I do is I mix my moisturiser with just a touch of my foundation and I just apply it with my fingers,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “So easy and natural.”

Part of her light touch might lie in her Israeli roots. When asked about the difference between American and Israeli beauty, she cited the heat in her homeland as the biggest factor for any difference in make-up trends. “Because the weather in Israel is so hot, the Israelis would wear… lots of sunscreen and less make-up,” she said.

Regardless of how much make-up she’s wearing on any given day though, Gal told E!News she always makes a point to thoroughly remove all products — no matter how tired she is at the end of the day. For your best skin, it’s important to remember this step, even if like Gadot, you adopt a less is more philosophy when it comes to your make-up.

She keeps her skin guessing by switching up her products

“I mix my skin and beauty products, and change them — just like my gym and workout routines — because you always have to change,” Gadot told Self. “Now I’m using Augustinus Bader.” While this may work for her, it’s important to note that a lot of dermatologists don’t recommend constantly changing products — especially if you have sensitive skin.

She’s also open to rotating in more bespoke skincare solutions, too. “I also use products from a woman named Karen Barto, who’s a facialist from Israel,” she said in that same interview above. “She has these amazing products for the face that I bring with me from Israel every time I go there. It’s a whole routine. She numbered everything from her products, so I put six products on my face before I go to bed.”

She nurtures her skin from the inside out with her diet

Although Gadot doesn’t endorse fad diets or adhere to overly restrictive eating regimens, she recognizes the importance of nourishing her body with wholesome foods. She acknowledges that her dietary choices can influence both her physical appearance and overall well-being. Therefore, she prioritizes balance by incorporating nutrient-rich foods into her meals.
