Emilia Clarke Explains Why Listening to your Mum is good for your skin & Hair

Emilia Clarke gives away her beauty tips to fans, here read to know the deets inside

Emilia Clarke known for her legendary work in the most popular tv show Game Of Thrones has recently shared travel beauty tips for fans, and you definitely can’t miss them. In an interview with Marie Claire, the actress explained why it is important to listen to your mum and how it is good for skin and hair.

Talking about why skincare is so important she said, ‘I feel like skincare is the first step to finding the aesthetic side of confidence. When you have bad skin it fucks with your confidence and makes you feel 13 again. You go through that stage of thinking I should put more make-up on – that will help. But it looks worse and you’re hiding from the world. But if you have good skin, you walk around more confidently.’

She added on how her skincare routine has changed from the 20s to 30s, ‘It has and it hasn’t. It hasn’t with the whole cleanse, tone, moisturise thing. I’ve been doing that forever, since day dot, because my mum told me to. My mother taught me well. She used to work at Revlon, so she knew what was up. She taught me to cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night. And because I’ve been doing that now for 21 years, I could be black out drunk and I would still cleanse, tone and moisturise. It happens without me realising it. But what I have added in the Smart Clinical Repair (whisper it) Wrinkle Correcting Serum. It is absolutely brilliant. My mum always said it’s all about prevention. She said if you start thinking about wrinkles and lines in your 30s, it’s going to be much less of an issue when you get older. You know when you bump into a friend you haven’t seen in ages, and they just look amazing. That’s what this serum does. It has retinoid in it, which I’ve always been petrified of putting on my skin, because it’s really sensitive. But it’s totally fine. What it does is it stops your skin looking sallow at the end of the day and prevents any make-up from getting lodged in creases. It’s smoother and replumps.’

She also gave a beauty tip saying, ‘It sounds very bougie, but sleeping on a silk pillowcase. I only have one! But it helps with creasing and lines, and it stops frizz. Oh also, my mum taught me how to put eyeliner on so that it doesn’t look like you’re wearing any. You apply it to the upper water line. I’ve been doing that forever and ever.’
