Gillian Anderson admits she only recently started skincare routine
Gillian Anderson, who started teaming up with L'Oreal Paris in February 2025, has only started her own skincare routine over the last year.
Gillian Anderson only recently developed her own skincare routine.
The 56-year-old actress teamed up with L'Oreal Paris earlier this year as a global spokeswoman and is set to make her runway debut with the brand at the annual Le Defile fashion show for Paris Fashion Week.
She told PEOPLE magazine: “I spent most of my life not really paying that much attention to any kind of a routine.
“I would be very lazy and wear the same makeup for a few days — not washing it off and adding to the layers of the mascara.
"Since becoming an ambassador and really talking about routine, I have [created one].”
The Sex Education star is glad that she's able to be open about her beauty journey, which has led to her using Age Perfect Serum Le Duo for the daytime and Age Perfect Collagen Night Moisturizer in the evening.
She added: “What's great about the brand is that they're not asking me to pretend.
“It's perfectly fine to be able to say, ‘You know what? I've been doing this for a year, and that's it.’”
Gillian had been speaking to L'Oreal "over a long period of time" about the partnership, and there was a "surreal" feeling when it finally became reality.
She said: "I found myself almost ignoring it just in case it didn't happen. And when it did, and I was at my first photo shoot, I think I was slightly stunned because it just felt so surreal.
“I mean, my first many years were in London, and then we moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and so felt like a small-town girl in the Midwest in a way.
"And I think as [the partnership] has gone on and I've been having more conversations as an ambassador and embracing and taking ownership of the role, it's the same as what I think potentially happens when you start to take ownership of the slogan [‘Worth It’], you start to believe it a little bit more.”
