Nara Smith has established herself as a prominent influencer, renowned for creating elaborate meals from scratch for her husband, model Lucky Blue Smith, and their three children. However, when it comes to her skincare routine, Smith opts for simplicity.
The 23-year-old shared her evolution from a complex, multi-step skincare regimen to a more streamlined approach. “I used to try everything and anything, and think that I needed a 13-step skin care routine because that’s what the Internet kept telling me. But now I’ve realised the simpler I keep it, the better,” she explained.
Smith’s nighttime routine includes a single cleanser, while her morning regimen typically involves a face oil and a moisturiser. “If I’m feeling fancy, I’m going to put on a sunscreen, but that’s not guaranteed,” she admitted.
For her face oil, Smith has relied on True Botanicals Radiance Oil, priced at $198 from Cult Beauty, for several years. This lightweight formula combines a blend of fourteen fast-absorbing seed oils that help smooth skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, making it an ideal base for her moisturiser.
While Smith has not publicly disclosed her preferred cleanser, she has demonstrated her skincare practices in TikTok videos, where she often uses a damp cloth, suggesting she favors gentle formulations. “I’ve been dealing with eczema my entire life, but it’s gotten really bad over the last three years,” she revealed. “I need products that are super hydrating and soothing, and [Biossance Squalane + Ectoin Overnight Rescue Ultra-Rich Cream] ($117 from Sephora) [is] exactly that.”
Smith appreciates the rich cream’s hydrating properties, stating, “It also doesn’t have fragrance, so that’s always a plus for me, and a little definitely goes a long way.” This cream features a blend of moisture-replenishing squalane, bio-fermented ectoin, magnesium, and reparative peptides.
In addition to her essential oils and creams, Smith occasionally layers a serum when her skin requires extra care. Her husband, Lucky, noted on TikTok that she uses Clarins Double Serum ($130 from Adore Beauty) twice daily. “This is liquid gold that’s like a multivitamin for her skin,” he said. The serum targets fine lines, enhances firmness, and provides long-lasting hydration.
When it comes to sun protection, Smith recommends the SUMMER FRIDAYS ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen ($57.02 from Cult Beauty). “This sunscreen—I cannot talk about it enough. It’s so good,” she enthused. The formula contains a blend of squalane and vitamin E, offering a sheer, luminous finish that complements her makeup.
Smith’s makeup routine mirrors her minimalist skincare philosophy. “When it comes to makeup, I cover up my dark circles because I’m a mum—I don’t sleep—so they need to go in the morning. And a good blush moment. Those are my two key things: concealer and blush,” she explained. For her lips, she prefers a darker liner with hints of red in the middle, topped off with a gloss.
With her simple yet effective skincare and makeup routines, Nara Smith continues to inspire her followers to embrace the beauty of minimalism amid the demands of family life and a flourishing career.
