WE'VE GOT THE SECRET TO LEIGHTON MEESTER’S GLOWING SKIN

By Flo Bellinger, 19 September 2025

September is a time for reinvention and reflection, which usually means updating our daily routines with some well-deserved indulgence. And arguably the best way to fill your cold-weather cup? A nourishing skincare routine. It's no surprise that our favourite A-listers are the first port of call for skin-based inspiration. With flawless faces and a wealth of products at their disposal, you can always trust their insights in the derm department.

Our latest complexion crush is Leighton Meester, whose glowing skin seems to defy ageing. If, like us, you’ve been angling for her secrets, we’ve got fantastic news. Not only is her routine free from unnecessary bells and whistles (always important on tired weeknights), but it’s affordable and (clearly) effective. Her simple routine is packed with performance-backed ingredients, courtesy of Bubble skincare, that don’t take themselves too seriously. Keep scrolling for all the scoop on Leighton’s joy-filled skincare routine.

STEP 1: CLEANSER

With cooler evenings and shorter days drying out our complexions, autumn calls for simple and effective products that still conjure up some sink-side luxury. Leighton’s go-to cleanser, the Bubble Soft Launch Cream Cleanser, promises to retain skin moisture when removing dirt and debris. Infused with avocado oil and ceramides, the gentle formula protects against external aggressors for a plumped-up appearance – all wrapped in an eye-catching bottle. Proof that the best products can be both premium and playful.

STEP 2: TONER

Toner is the unsung hero of autumnal skin, packing a serious punch of hydration to support any ingredients you layer on top. The Bubble Cosmic Silk is a deliciously milky toner designed to smooth, plump and hydrate – the ultimate skincare triple threat. A welcome bonus is that the lavender bottle looks incredibly cute next to the rest of the Bubble lineup, so consider your bathroom cabinet glow-up pending.

STEP 3: MOISTURISER

Finally, you've got to lock in all that hydrated deliciousness. And Bubble certainly provides the goods to do so. It has moisturisers to suit all skin types, but Leighton's choice is the Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturiser. Its cream texture is non-greasy and lightweight, making it perfect for day and night use. As Leighton herself so aptly put it, ‘Bubble proves skincare can be powerful without being overly complicated.’ And with such effective formulations, beautiful bottles and easily digestible steps, we can see this brand bringing major joy to our daily routine.
