PAMELA ANDERSON IS OUR SKIN-SPIRATION

Pamela Anderson is a legend for many reasons: her slow-motion running skills on Baywatch, her inimitable 90s up-do (still recreated the world-over), and most recently her fresh take on beauty. Having blessed us with some of the most iconic makeup looks in her early career, Pam has reversed the rulebook with a bare-faced approach.

 

After the tragic passing of her beloved makeup artist Alexis Vogel in 2019, the actress told Elle she just felt 'better' foregoing full glam. '[The new look] is freeing, fun, and a little rebellious too.' But while stepping out on red carpets wearing nothing more than great skincare routine looks fab on the queen herself, it can be hard to shun a full beat when you’re not feeling confident in the complexion department. Good thing we’ve compiled a list of fail-safe products to have you glowing inside and out – just like Pam. Keep scrolling.

When it comes to flawless skin, everything lies in the preparation. And despite what you might think, this doesn’t have to be a laborious task. In fact, prepping the skin is a great excuse for some self-indulgence. After sloughing away dead skin and debris with the Dr Dennis Gross Peel Pads, simply pop on some eye patches, nourish skin with a hydrating mist, and settle down with a good book. Bliss.

For skin as immaculate as Pam’s, treatments are your heroes. Not only do they deliver instant results, but they’ll keep your complexion in check for the long haul. These four products deliver in their own way, but focus on hydrating and calming the skin. From moisture-hugging hyaluronic acid to brightening vitamin C and the ever-famous LED mask, your skin is in for a real treat with this lineup.

The secret to Pam’s supple, plump complexion? Hydration. Locking in all of those treatments is key if you want them to really work their magic. Opt for water-based creams or rich balms to keep skin youthful and fresh. Finishing with an oil on the lips and face is an extra barrier against dry and tired-looking skin.

The final step (and perhaps the most vital) in achieving Pamela Anderson’s glow? The glow, of course. Sunday Riley’s Auto Correct eye cream is a double hitter – treating the delicate eye area whilst brightening shadows with a pearlescent finish. Opt for a skin tint with SPF for protective complexion-boosting, and don’t forget about the rest of the body! Sol de Janeiro’s bronze oil is the perfect final step before you head out the door. If you’re still yearning for a little bit of coverage, Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter will never do you wrong.
