It goes without saying Sarah Jessica Parker has inspired the girlsand the gaysfor decades.

Parker’s skincare routine is not reminiscent of the 10-step regimens on TikTok.

Her Skin Focuses

“I probably don’t focus a huge amount on it.

I, in my own life, don’t wear a base or foundationever.

I wouldn’t even feel like myself if I walked out the door in it.

I like my skin to be exposed, even if that means exposing an imperfection.

“I care a lot about moisturizing.

I have a pretty efficient and economical nighttime routine, and an equally efficient one in the morning.

I’m not someone that would understand more than three steps.

I don’t want to spend more than 10 minutes.

I can brush my teeth and maybe learn lines at the same time.”

I like things that don’t feel too heavy.

It has to be pretty hospitable and not too complex.

I grew up not really using sunscreen.

We were all running around swimming all summer long; I don’t recall ever using sunscreen.

But as I got older, I understood that it was no longer funny to not.

Especially once you’re slathering kids with sunscreen, it seems foolish to not do it yourself.

“In terms of other changes, I think I understand more of the science.

I’m more inclined to actually read things, [to] care.

I still wouldn’t want to spend 30 minutes doing something morning or night.

I don’t have time, and I’d rather spend it doing something else.”

The Skincare Step She Never Skips

“Moisturizer.

I think it just makes me feel better.

I mean, even my daughters will say, “Oh wow, my skin is so dry.

Can I have some moisturizer?”

If I left the house every day and didn’t use moisturizer, it just doesn’t feel great.

That’s it, and of course, lip balm.”

Her Morning vs.

I use it, you know, just like a jade roller.

For Nighttime

“For my night routine, there’s a serum involved.

There might even be three layers and something with more viscosity.

I use RoC Skincare’sRetinol Correxion Max Hydration Creamall the time.

“I’ve not ever done something with skincare that’s been radically bad.

I’ve had things that have definitely left me with, you know, an allergic reaction.

But then I was like, okay, I won’t use that again.

But then, you know, you give it to somebody else, and it suits them.”

It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

But, [the Retinol Correxion Max Hydration Cream] is actually also quite [important] to me.

I think it’s the one that could travel anywhere with me.

It could be day or night.

It’s very adaptable for my life and my skin.

On Products That Don’t Leave Her Purse

“Laura MercierCaviar Stick Eye Shadow.

I take a shower every single day of my lifeunless I’m in circumstances where there is none.

But, I shave my legs every two or three days.

You know good old-fashionedBuff Puff?

you could still buy it, with the blue on one side and white on the other.

One side’s a little rougher, and one side is a bit [softer].

I always have that.

I’ve had that for as long as I could afford to live on my own.
