December 18, 2025
By: Truly Beauty
Lily Collins skincare routine consists of thermal mist, toner, hydrating serums and creams, and of course SPF.
New season, new city, same iconic glow. Season 5 of Emily in Paris is here, and we’re already binging for the beauty inspo alone.
Her skincare routine? Surprisingly simple—but with just the right touch of je ne sais quoi to keep us obsessed. Let’s peek inside Lily’s beauty cabinet, shall we?
Lily Collins Skincare Routine
Here’s everything the 36-year-old actress does to keep her skin looking crystal clear and impeccably smooth.
Step 1: Water + Thermal Mist
Every morning, Lily starts her skincare routine by splashing cold water on her face to wake up her skin. Because of how different types of tap water affect her sensitive skin (especially while traveling), she always follows it up with a thermal water spray. Then, she dabs it gently with a tissue or cotton pad to remove impurities and lock in hydration.
“I wasn’t that educated on the way different waters around the world can affect my skin type,” she told Vogue. “Now when I splash my face with water from the tap, I make sure to follow it up with a thermal water spray,” she told Vogue.
Step 2: Gentle Cleanser
Lily Collins sticks to gentle, hydrating cleansers that remove makeup without stripping the skin. Inspired by French skincare, she prioritizes soothing formulas that keep her sensitive skin feeling soft, balanced, and comfortable. When she wants a deeper clean, she’ll occasionally use a cleansing brush—without sacrificing hydration.
Our Recommended Cleanser
Rooted in a skin-first philosophy, Truly’s Skin Smoothie Gentle Facial Cleanser is carefully crafted with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to deliver a soft, cushiony cleanse that leaves skin calm, hydrated, and refined.
Step 3: Witch Hazel Toner
Lily Collins loves a good toner. After cleansing, she wipes her favorite alcohol-free witch hazel toner all over her face to shrink the look of pores, improve skin tone, boost glow, and increase moisture.
Step 4: Hydrating Serum
After cleansing, Lily loves adding hydration with a serum or a quick sheet mask. Especially when she’s traveling, she leans into moisture-rich treatments to keep her skin looking dewy and fresh. Her skin tends to dry out on planes and in new climates, so this step keeps it plump and glowing.
To apply her serum, she’ll sometimes use a refrigerated jade roller and roll it outwards to reduce puffiness, boost glow, and firm her skin.
Our Recommended Serum
If you want a fresh dewy glow, we recommend Truly's The Hydrating Face Serum. Infused with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it delivers multi-layer hydration for visibly softer, more supple skin. Dermatologist-tested and fragrance-free, so it's perfect for sensitive skin types.
Step 5: Luxe Face Cream
Next, Lily Collins applies a luxe face cream to lock in all that hydration and keep her skin soft and smooth. It is her way of prepping her skin for long days on set or makeup-heavy moments on the red carpet. Moisturizing helps keep her skin firm, glowing, and makeup-ready—aka red carpet perfection.
Our Recommended Face Cream
You'll get all the moisture you need from Truly's Cloud Cream Pro-Peptide Facial Moisturizer. A striking innovation of hexapeptide, AHAs, and soybean extract for gentle exfoliation and hydration all sealed in with lasting moisture.
Step 6: SPF–Always
Though she’s confessed she used to forget sunscreen, Lily now makes SPF a daily habit—even when it’s cloudy or she’s filming indoors. She opts for SPF 50 and applies it every morning to preserve her precious porcelain skin.
Lily Collins Skincare Tips
Alongside her daily skincare routine, Lily Collins swears by these skincare secrets for maintaining her radiant complexion.
Coconut Oil is Her DIY Dry Skin Fix
Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, coconut oil nourishes, moisturizes, heals, and supports skin health. It’ll leave your skin feeling smoother than ever. Lily Collins swears by coconut oil for its moisturizing abilities.
“If I’m feeling dry, I’ll also put liquid coconut oil on my body,” Lily told The New York Times. “I just get it at Whole Foods.”
LED Therapy
Fans may have spotted Lily wearing the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask in an episode of Emily in Paris. While we can’t confirm if she uses it off-set, it’s a beauty-tech favorite among celebs like Chrissy Teigen and Kourtney Kardashian.
LED masks use targeted wavelengths of light to help boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and bring out that lit-from-within glow—all from the comfort of your couch.
She Always Removes Her Makeup
Lily never, ever goes to bed without removing her makeup—no matter how tired she is. Whether it’s after a long day on set or a night out, she commits to a full cleanse to clear away foundation, SPF, and grime. Sometimes she even uses a soft facial brush for a deeper clean.
“No matter how tired I am I take off all of my makeup, because if I don’t I know I’ll regret it in the middle of the night or the next morning,” she told Vogue.
She Re-Applies Hand Cream Throughout the Day
Besides making them feel super soft all day long, keeping hands moisturized protects them from drying out and showing signs of aging. Since the skin on the hands is super delicate, they’re one of the first places to show signs of aging. Nobody knows this better than Collins herself, which is why she's constantly re-applying hand cream.
“I’m really big on soft hands,” she told Elle Canada. “My grandmother always used to say, make sure that your hands feel soft.”
