Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts recently shared her straightforward three-step skincare routine, which includes an unexpected product for facial care. Nicola, currently starring in the musical Hadestown on the West End stage, disclosed how her skin has been affected by heavy makeup application during performances.
In a discussion at Aveeno’s Aging Gratefully event, the 39-year-old singer mentioned her aversion to complex skincare regimens, stating her preference for simplicity. She highlighted her routine of cleansing with beef tallow, followed by moisturizing with Aveeno’s age renewal face cream and applying SPF.
While beef dripping is commonly associated with wartime food conservation and cooking, it has become a budget-friendly skincare option, priced at £10 and easily accessible at retailers like Ocado and Holland & Barrett. Nicola also emphasized the importance of self-care, mentioning that she dedicates her Mondays to rest and relaxation.
Reflecting on her journey to self-acceptance in her late 30s, Nicola acknowledged feeling disconnected from beauty standards portrayed in fashion magazines during her youth. She expressed regret for trying to conform to those ideals, including the use of fake tan.
Despite rumors linking her to Strictly Come Dancing, Nicola emphasized her passion for singing and her current role in Hadestown, describing the production as a “true masterpiece” based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. She shared her excitement and admiration for the show, emphasizing its exceptional quality.
Nicola’s story serves as a reminder to embrace individuality and prioritize self-acceptance, encouraging younger generations to appreciate their unique journey towards self-confidence and inner peace.
