It's easy to look at flawless celebrity skin and chalk it up to top-tier genetics and Hollywood voodoo. But we know it also takes serious dedication to skin care. Here, gawk at these famous glowing faces for all the inspo you'll ever need to stay committed to a super-ambitious skincare regimen.

Jennifer Lopez
Sigh—J.Lo manages to look airbrushed at ALL times. (And it's not just photos—trust us, she looks this way in person, too. Literally like an angel.) It's been widely reported that the secret behind her bronzed glow is applyingLa Mer Moisturizing Cream head-to-toe. For a less costly option, look to a drugstore favorite like Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream.
Miranda Kerr
Yes, it's common knowledge that Kerr is #blessed beyond belief in the genetics department. However, she's so dedicated to all-natural skincare that she has her own line of products, KORA Organics. We swear by a midday skin refresh with her Calming Lavender Mist.
Olivia Wilde
Wilde is a staunch believer that the key is staying hydrated and getting beauty sleep (because that's a real thing!). "I never rely fully on a product to make me magically look perfect," she told PopSugar. "I think it's about sleep and water and taking care of yourself." And maybe having the genes of a Greek goddess. Just saying.
Rihanna
RiRi likes to have herself a good time, but never at the cost of her luminescent skin. "When I feel like my skin has had it, I cut all the alcohol completely and overdo the water," she told Elle. You can never get enough H2O, but The Institute of Medicine recommends about 9 cups (2.2 liters) for women a day.
Kim Kardashian
There's one man behind Kardashian's hasn't-aged-a-day appearance and that's her go-to dermatologist, Dr. Harold Lancer. You can steal her secrets by making his book Younger: The Breakthrough Anti-Aging Method for Radiant Skin your bible.
Lupita Nyong'o
Of course the elixirs that have a hand in Nyong'o's constant radiance are organic. "I use lots of natural oils—like avocado oil and Hawaiin kukui oil—and try to drink lots of water," she told Access Hollywood. We love rehydrating our skin with NOW Solutions Avocado Oil.
Katy Perry
We all saw the Proactiv commercials and know that Perry suffered from acne once upon a time—but you'd never know it by the looks of her. She told Marie Claire UK that she's also incorporated one of Madonna's favorite products, Shu Uemura Anti/Oxi Cleansing Oil, into her routine. "Whatever she does I'm going to do," she proclaimed.
Beyoncé
That glow...need we say more? Bey's makeup artist Francesca Tolot told Into The Gloss that the singer achieves it with good old-fashioned baby oil.
Gwen Stefani
Stefani's skin is ageless to the point of being logic-defying. She notoriously swears by Johnson's Baby Lotion—so ladies, it's time to get slathering because time's a-wastin'.
Halle Berry
Two of the secrets behind Berry's unrivaled complexion? She tells Marie Claire UK she never skips a facialist appointment. Plus, as a diabetic, she avoids sugar and reaps the anti-aging benefits. For those with a sweet tooth, she recommends using Xylitol as a sugar substitute.
Lauren is the former beauty editor at Marie Claire. She love to while away the hours at coffee shops, hunt for vintage clothes, and bask in the rough-and-tumble beauty of NYC. She firmly believes that solitude can be a luxury if you’ve got the right soundtrack—that being the Rolling Stones, of course.
