Gwyneth Paltrow has long been a resource of beauty advice and recommendations, but thanks to her longtime lifestyle platform and now shopping beauty brand Goop, we are excited whenever we can get a glimpse into the products the brand’s founders and wellness gurus are using behind the scenes. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Paltrow has become a bit cheeky with things, revealing her go-to night scent, the key to a sensual shower experience, and the skincare products she has long loved.
Gwyneth Paltrow plates her sexy (and not so sexy) beauty secret
As part of Marie Claire’s mood franchise, Paltrow sat down to talk about everything, but with a sexy spin she devotes Diet to the plate on how she incorporates romance into her daily routine, which begins with a “sensual shower” experience. “I like putting essential oils in the shower and using body scrubs,” she says. “I like to dry the brush beforehand, activate the skin, exfoliate and move the lymph vessels. Then I use double exfoliating agents in a shower with essential oils.”
She pointed out that shaving her legs is the least sexy task she feels she is most confident in, but Paltrow also revealed to the outlet that her daytime night scent to get things up is nothing more than a vilao mamaje au au de parfum ($220). “It smells warm and spicy but not spicy,” she told the outlet. “It has a very rustic and warm feeling.” Paltrow, faithful to her goop formula, also opened up about skincare products that she can’t live without, flagging face oil as her longest position beauty love. “I used it for decades, partly because I was always on the dry side,” she explained. “I naturally massaged my face with oil. Long before the gua sha tool became what it is now. I feel like I naturally did it with face oil. And I think keeping my skin really beautiful with the combination of oils and massage is the tip of great beauty.”
