Pore Decisions
The author and comedian chats with Bustle about all things beauty.
We all want what Chelsea Handleris having.
The comedian just turned 50, and shes certain she looks and feels the best she ever has.
Is it the wisdom and perspective she achieved from getting older thats contributing to her confidence?
I know that sounds corny, but Ive lived it, she tells Bustle.
I know that when Im happy and in a good place, Im at my best.
Through this collaboration, she and the brand have been spreading the gospel of skin hydration.
Well, its all about Gold Bond, baby.
I have incredibly soft skin Ill be the first to say it and my sisters have always been envious.
But once I got into skiing, I realized how important it is to protect your skin.
When you’re constantly outside, its all about that base layer.
Gold Bond has a bevy of products, but thedaily moisturizing lotionfor your face is a game-changer.
And body care is just as important.
There is nothing that icks me out more than dry skin.
And the bottom of their feet too.
You have tomoisturize your feetevery single night before bed.
Obviously, you cant do it in the morning and then walk out the door youll go flying.
Pro tip: Moisturize your feet and put socks on it traps the moisture.
Oh, Im so done with heels.
I cant even express how done I am with them.
For me, its a two-step process.
Im not a big skin care person I sometimes dont even wash my face at night.
And by sometimes, I mean most times.
I dont do a lot of upkeep I focus more on maintenance.
And to me, hydration is the key to aging gracefully.
Oh, this ones embarrassing.
I remember shaving my legs before I knew you needed soap, water, or shaving cream.
I was about 11, and it was a disaster.
But I did it anyway dry.
That was my first interaction with skin care, and lets just say I learned my lesson real quick.
I do my whole face pretty regularly.
Theres this myth that shaving makes hair grow back thicker its not true, at least not for blondes.
And Im not even naturally blonde.
But you need a serum or lotion to avoid cutting yourself that part is important.
As soon as I started aging.
Hydration minimizes fine lines and wrinkles its everything.
I cant stand having dry hands on a plane.
I always bring Gold Bond with me and constantly reapply, especially on long flights.
You have to catch dry skin before it gets away from you.
No, I dont wash my face.
Im not a face-washer.
I wash my hands a lot, but my face?
Ive been doing my birthday ski videos where I ski in a bathing suit, sometimes less for years.
Skiing is my number one passion.
I was already a fan of their products because I spend so much time outside.
Their creams act as a buffer a next-level layer of protection.
Its the perfect partnership.
And people always ask, “How do you do it?
How do you ski in the cold like that?”
The adrenaline takes over.
The energy was just too high.
Oh, Ive done so many.Morpheus, for one.
You cant be seen in public for 10 days after that.
I think its worth it within reason.
I have fair skin, so I have to be careful with lasers.
Too much can thin your skin.
Sleep and drink water.
But honestly, I think we drink too much water.
When I was growing up, no one carried around gallon jugs of water.
I had orange juice, milk, and if it was a really good day, a Capri Sun.
And I turned out fine.
Is that a beauty treatment?
Because I dont get it.
Find a few products you love and stick with them.
Natural beauty is confidence its about feeling good in yourself.
Yes, some days you look rough, but real beauty comes from within.
