I’ve been doing this so long that I can’t represent something I don’t actually use or believe in.”

glamor: Please tell us about your recent beauty habits. Low-maintenance, high-maintenance, or somewhere in between?
Sarah Michelle Gellar: I hate saying things are high maintenance or low maintenance. It’s simple in the sense that I believe you just need three or four really good products. We get these TikToks and Instagrams sent to us. [think we] There are things we need, but we don’t need them. What matters is a product that works and consistency. But I’m loyal to my routine. No matter how late you get home or how tired you are, your makeup will be removed, your skin will be cleansed, and your products will continue to be used. Because you have to take care of your skin.
Do you always pay attention to your beauty habits? buffy For example, what day?
Before that, I did a show when I was a teenager and the makeup artist said, “I’ll show you how to take care of your skin.” I think I got my first facial when I was 16, and the experience has stayed with me ever since. I’m the person who moisturizes and sprays my face on airplanes. That too [part of] my job.
There’s another lesson that always sticks with me, and costume designers always comment on it. They always had teenagers on and off set, leaving everything a mess. And they said, “If you don’t dry your clothes, they won’t be clean.” So when I get ready at the end of the night, I always hang my clothes out to dry, no matter how tired I am. And a lot of actors don’t do that.
I’m sure the crew will be grateful for that as well. What products are part of your core routine at the moment?
Now, something new that I really appreciate is the Olay Face and Neck Roller. It flies a lot, so everything needs to be stored [lymph] It’s moving. Even before they were cool, I was always the one who had gua sha, rollers. I used to do them all the time. So when Olay came out with a new product that lifts the neck and eyes and they put it in there, for me it was a game changer for so many reasons. I love 2-on-1. I’m a bargain girl. Save space and time.

However, I have always believed that one must maintain, especially when it comes to this [decolletage] Because I like wearing low-cut things. As I get older, I don’t want to be that woman who only wears turtlenecks. And makeup artist David de Leon used to always say to me when I was younger. “Your skin care doesn’t end here. It ends here.” [points to chest].
And I like that they added NAD as well. I am a strong believer in NAD. And Olay does it [Face & Neck] Treatment has also been a game changer for me.
I feel like I’ve been talking about NAD every day lately. I haven’t set foot there yet.
Let me tell you, this is the secret to how I manage my schedule and how beautiful my skin looks. I truly believe in NAD.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done for beauty?
I mean, we’re getting cum in our faces right now. I think that’s a little weird, right? But I’m not interested in big trends. I had to try it, but I’m definitely the type of girl who can experiment, so I’ve never done that much. Next, tweeze your eyebrows. Oh, and dye your eyebrows, I did it in the ’90s, but bleached eyebrows are making a comeback. I’m not doing that.
You have two children, Charlotte, 16, and Rocky, 13. What lessons have you tried to teach your children about beauty and self-care?
Interestingly, girls and boys are different. And everyone always says, “Oh, good luck getting your teenage son to wash his face and use deodorant and cologne and all that.” But a lot of it is modeled by you. And thankfully my husband [Freddie Prinze Jr.] Since he is an actor, he washes his face twice a day and applies moisturizer. So my son understands it and has a product that he likes and is quite fond of about it. I hear other moms are struggling too.
My daughter is struggling to make a comeback. My daughter wants to see every product under the sun. She saw it on TikTok and we have to drive to the store. And I’m trying to teach her to cut back on that and find what really works for her skin and what people she respects are promoting on social media this week.
When you were announced as the new face of Olay a few months ago, I was at the announcement event and you said that everyone always shows you pictures of yourself from the ’90s and early 2000s.
And now this trend is spreading everywhere. I refuse to make that TikTok. If one more person comes into my feed and says, “Mom, what were you like in the 1990s?”, I can’t see that anymore.
That probably answers my question of how you feel about it…
I don’t like that trend on TikTok. By the way, AF was cool in the 90s. thank god love story Bring back the slip dress. I never stopped wearing it. I think I said it at that event, but there are two things I don’t want back in the ’90s. That means you don’t want to get your eyebrows back if you plucked them out too much. We all look better with eyebrows. And I don’t know about the choker. It just cuts off the neck. It looks like a weird bobblehead. I’m not a choker girl. Those are my two.
I’m with you on those too. So do you have mixed feelings when someone shows you old photos of yourself?
In fact, I think it looks better now. I have great memories, but I’m much happier now. I feel more confident now. I feel better. But my favorite thing is when someone shows me an old photo or an old video that they don’t remember. Right now, people around me are talking about why it’s okay to have blood and gore in horror movies. And people keep sending it to me. I’m sure it is scream Junket is my guess. So it will come out again scream 7 And I don’t remember it. So those always excite me.
