Alicia Keys has undeniably left her mark on both the music and beauty industries. As the visionary behind Keys Soulcare, her skin care brand is celebrated for its nourishing ingredients and its emphasis on wellness and self care. This commitment extends to her personal life, where she embraces a (mostly makeup-free) lifestyle, challenging outdated beauty norms. Instead of an elaborate glam routine, Keys prioritizes her skin care regimen, evidenced by her newly published beauty breakdown with E! News.
Naturally, she’s a bit biased when it comes to skin care since she has her own brand, but she stands by it because it works for her. “I had a really tough time with my skin growing up and I never thought those issues were going to end,” she told the outlet. “I finally realized that in order to change my skin, I needed to change the energy around me.” That’s where Keys Soulcare came in. Her brand not only delivers skin care results but also inspires positivity with affirmations written on its packaging and its emphasis on beauty rituals.
Below, we break down the key points from her interview, starting with her biggest skin care tips, followed by her go-to skin care products from her line.
Her biggest skin care tip…
“Water water water water!! It’s the most natural and easy secret. And also, if I’m wearing makeup then I can’t go to bed without washing my face! No matter how tired I am! [I] need to be able to wash the day off and go to bed with clean and hydrated skin.”
Her favorite Keys Soulcare products…
Keys Soulcare Golden Face Cleanser
“I like to use our Golden Face Cleanser to remove any dirt, makeup, and impurities at the end of the day. I love the affirmation, ‘I’m devoted to this moment!’ It brings me right back to my center!
Keys Soulcare Be Luminous Exfoliating Powder
“The Be Luminous Exfoliating Powder does a beautiful job buffing away dullness for an immediate glow. You pour the dry powder into your hand and add to water to get a smoother consistency. I love massaging it into my skin in upward, circular motions, and I always look more radiant after using it.”
Keys Soulcare Reviving Aura Mist
“It’s great for every skin type, but really beneficial if you have oily/combination skin and use it as a toner; it’s a must-have in my ritual. It helps keep my skin under control and restores it to a state of balance and alignment.”
Keys Soulcare Skin Transformation Cream
“I also like using our Skin Transformation Cream after cleansing, it’s a game-changer! This formula is next-level and seeing the level of transformation in my skin changed my attitude about moisturizers.”
Keys Soulcare Let Me Glow Illuminating Serum & Makeup Primer
“It gives your skin a gorgeous glow, and you can either wear it alone or use it as a primer for your makeup. The ingredients are great for the skin for the skin too with rose water and niacinamide.”
Keys Soulcare Protect Your Light Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen
“I love that it blends on my skin completely clear and doesn’t leave a white cast even on the deepest of skin tones! It’s also lightweight and non-greasy.”
