When it comes to gorgeous, glowing skin these stars are the Academy Award-winners of it!

From Cate Blanchett’s flawless complexion to Cindy Crawford’s timeless skin – have you ever wondered how these stunning ladies achieve their picture-perfect looks?

Cindy’s biggest and perhaps most unexpected beauty tip? Don’t forget to look after your neck, just as you would your face.

Not only does the 50-year-old supermodel recommend lathering your décolletage with a nourishing moisturiser, she also suggests neck and facial exercises to keep your skin toned and taut (more on that as you click through the gallery!).

L’Oreal Revitalift is another incredible way to achieve firm, wrinkle-free skin. You’ll notice an instant change.

There’s a reason she’s a Dame and Helen Mirren’s beauty philosophy is just as impressive as her official title. “I have always used moisturiser at night and in the morning – it makes me feel better and to me that’s what I want from it. My biggest beauty advice is just to make sure you clean your skin really well. I also have to have my eight hours of sleep a night,” the 75-year-old wisely revealed.

Susan Sarandon, who is the face of L’Oréal Paris, is all about a balanced approach. “It’s simple: don’t smoke cigarettes. Tobacco is the worst. The sun is also terrible and so is too much alcohol, it ruins your skin. Being happy, eating well, getting exercise is key,” the 69-year-old has shared.

With her doll-like features and porcelain skin, Cate Blanchett is a classic beauty. The 46-year-old’s fail-safe products include Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant, Diptyque Precious Oil for Body and Bath and SK-II R.N.A. Power Radical New Age Essence.

Is there anyone more radiant in Hollywood than Halle Berry? The talented actress credits consistency. “My routine of taking care of my skin is always the same. I use a cleanser, toner, moisturise, then use eye cream,” the 49-year-old mused. The mother-of-two also spritzes her face with a rosewater mist before layering on the make-up.

Julianne Moore, 55, is all about facial oils. “I love them and I switch around what I use, L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Facial Oil, L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Golden Serum, Sunday Riley face oil and Rodin face oil.”

“I wear broad-spectrum SPF daily. La Roche-Posay makes good sunscreens, and I also like Invisible Zinc, which is a physical sunscreen. And I wear a cowboy hat whenever I’m at the beach,” Elle Macpherson, 51, has said.

With decades of experience as one of the world’s top models, when Cindy Crawford talks beauty hacks we listen! The 50-year-old highly recommends neck exercises to “help preserve the line of your jaw.” She adds: “They’re simple to do – just lay flat on your back with your chin pointed up, and lift your whole head about an inch off the ground. Without putting your head back down on the floor, bring your chin to your chest. I do three sets of 10 repetitions, but you can build up to that! I alternate the chin-to-chest one with a side-to-side movement.”
