The Ingenious Serum-Applying Hack We’re Stealing From Olivia Wilde

Having struggled with unpredictable stress and hormonal acne for over a decade, Wilde's natural radiance did not come without work. A healthy, sustainable solution that would both remedy inflamation and nourish her skin was exactly what she was looking for. True Botanicals uses "pure, potent, and proven" ingredients to catalyze long-term change and reduce signs of aging.

In addition to that, she has a truly ingenious serum-applying hack that we're stealing today. She divides her face into top and bottom halves, applying a wrinkle-reducing serum to the top of her face and a breakout-preventing oil on the bottom half (particularly around the chin, which is an area that's prone to hormonal breakouts). Scroll down for the five True Botanicals products that Olivia Wilde previously told us that she can't live without (including the serums).

1. True Botanicals Nourishing Cleanser, $48

To start with, Wilde uses the brand's award-winning Nourishing Cleanser. Naturally scented with grapefruit and lavender, the formula cleans, conditions, and refreshes the skin. It feels like a spa day for your face, and is great for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin.

5. True Botanicals Pre Cleanse Oil, $48

Wilde uses the same routine in the morning as in the evening, except for this one product. To rinse off the day, she uses the brand's Pre Cleanse Oil to loosen dirt, sunscreen, and stubborn makeup, before carrying on with the rest of her routine. The oil leaves the skin feeling hydrated and looking dewy.
