I often say I feel my best when my skin is in good shape. And that’s true: I feel most confident—most me—when I’m barefaced. But that doesn’t mean I strive for perfect skin. That would be a very disappointing way to live. What I strive for is really to feel beauty: connected to all the wisdom that came with my crow’s-feet, channeling a sort of Maine-woman-in-the-summer free spirit. I want to look in the mirror and see skin that looks taken care of; I want it to feel hydrated and nourished. I want it to look like the best skin I can have today, not 10 years ago. I want it to look how I feel: exactly my age and better than ever.
But being ruthlessly honest: Part of the reason I don’t obsess over my skin is because I have the unique privilege of obsessing over our goop Beauty formulas. I know that when I stick to my routine, my skin will get as close to perfect as it can.
Love, Gwyneth
