The True Cost Of Celebrity Skincare Routines

We have analysed YouTube skincare routine videos showing products that 12 celebrity skincare lovers use, to find out how much each spends on skincare products alone. Skincare is not just something that women champion, many male celebrities have created video content around how they keep their skin clear and why it is so important to them.

So which celebrities have the highest priced skincare routine, and which products are raking up the pounds?

Following Serena is singer songwriter Sam Smith, whose skincare routine costs £614. Singer-songwriter Sam Smith spends over half of that of Serena Williams on skincare products. The products they use include hydrating gels and cleansers from SkinCeuticals, daily moisturiser from Orveda and antioxidant skin protection cream from Heliocare.

The celebrity with the third most expensive skincare routine is model Hailey Beiber whose skincare products cost £478.03. Hailey Beiber’s most expensive product is the Furtuna Skin Due Alberi Biphase moisturizing oil, which alone costs £192.

Singer-songwriter Troye Sivan is the celeb with the cheapest skincare routine from our analysis, totalling just £94.55. His favourite products consists of Glossier face mist and mango balm, Fabric Integrity face moisturiser, Trilogy organic rosehip oil, Kiehl's oil cleanser, face cleansing wipes and shaving gel.

Singer Sam Smith and model Ellie Goldstein have the easiest skincare routines, with both only using five products each. Despite Sam Smith’s routine coming in as the second most expensive, it is also one of the easiest. Ellie Goldstein uses a mixture of face wash and creams, notably the Avant Deluxe Hyaluronic Acid Vivifying Face & Eye Night Cream.

Following these two celebrities are singers Pharrell Williams and Alicia Keys, who use just 6 products in their skincare routine. Pharrell is a huge fan of skincare, which is why many of the products he uses are from his own skincare range Humanrace, including an exfoliator, cleanser, and humidifying cream. He also uses Chanel Rouge Coco Baume and two products from ISDIN.

Alicia Keys is certainly a fan of rose flavoured products. She uses Smith's rosebud salve lip balm; Epicuren rosemary lave and rose water body mist. She also uses a detox cleanser; anti-blemish lotion and eye roll on.

A brand that makes a regular appearance in her collection is C’est Moi. In fact, seven of the 10 products are from this brand, including a face mask, lotions, cleansing water and wipes, and pads. Other products in her collection include Biossance Squalane + vitamin C rose oil, Dr. Bronner's 4-In-1 lavender soap and Sara Happ lip scrub.

Each of these celebrities has shared their routine on YouTube, but when it comes to popularity, which videos are seeing the highest number of views?

The most popular skincare video is from makeup artist Hyram, whose video has had 3.2 million views. Following closely behind is businesswoman and reality star Kourtney Kardashian. Her video has had 3.1 million views. The third most popular skincare routine is from model Hailey Beiber, who’s YouTube video has had 1.8 million views.

Getting into a good skincare routine is a great way to relax and unwind after a busy day, after a bath or cool shower. Skincare goes hand in hand with relaxing and showering is a really important part of your routine that, not only helps you to relax but, is also good for your skin too.
