OlderYara Shahidi Shares Her Skin-Care Routine & One Product She Can't Live Without
With all the makeup Yara Shahidi and her Black-ish co-stars have to wear on camera, she has spent a lot of time figuring out a great skin-care regimen!
Plus, the actress and face of Clean & Clear is still in her teen years, so she can’t avoid getting breakouts sometimes.

“We have HD makeup on set to make us look poreless and non-human,” Yara told People. “But that means it’s really thick foundation and that’s all day every day five days a week from the end of July to beginning of March, which is a lot on one’s skin.”
“Especially whenever there is a mark that pops up, then you treat it by putting on more foundation,” she continued. “Isn’t that great? Not the greatest solution. I think that’s why it’s important for me to have that cleansing routine, otherwise I have had to deal with three seasons of continuous breakouts from the makeup.”

“My go to is the makeup wipes because after a day on set it takes a solid 30 minutes to get home and another 30 minutes to even process what is happening in your world, which means that I usually like to keep those in my bed or my bedside table because it’ll get the first layer of makeup off pretty easily and it doesn’t irritate my skin,” she explained.
“I usually like to exfoliate maybe two days a week,” Yara added. “And the rest I usually like to use one of the foam cleansers too because they’re soft – and because of the bubbles. I’m a sucker for bubbles.”
Yara said that when she gets a pimple, she uses a spot treatment cream that has benzoyl peroxide in it.
The one beauty item she says is most important, though, is water! “I mean DJ Khaled says to hydrate so I take that pretty seriously. Asahd Khaled also said it,” Yara shared. “So finding things that don’t deplete your skin of moisture, that’s really important.”
