To maintain her age-less complexion, Elizabeth Hurley admits to doing this 10 times a day

You can say she is committed to the cause.

It is hard to believe, but Elizabeth Hurley has celebrated her 53rd birthday, and yet continues to look just as flawless and glamourous as she did back in the day (remember THAT dress??).

As for how she does it? Well, according to a recent interview with UK magazine Woman & Home, Hurley admitted she moisturizes her face six times a day and her neck 10 times.

The one thing I swear by is moisturizer, and lots of it,” Hurley said. Presumably, she’s using an Estée Lauder moisturizer, considering she’s been a spokesperson for the brand for years. “I’ll moisturize my face about six times a day and my neck about 10 times a day.”

Yes, really.

Seems like alot? Yep, we think so too. Not to mention time-consuming. But then again – it might just work, at least judging by Hurley’s still very youthful complexion.

This is what celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau had to say to MyDomaine.com about Hurley’s intense beauty habit:

“Depending on how a moisturizer is formulated, some can be short-lasting in their ability to hold moisture into the skin,” she explains. “Combine that with having a damaged moisture barrier (tiny, invisible cracks in the skin often due to retinoids or over-exfoliation) and moisture can easily evaporate out of the skin within hours.” As a result, adding a few more applications into the mix could improve your skin’s natural moisturizing factor.

However, you might also be wasting a lot of expensive product: “It’s important to understand that the skin can only absorb so much,” Rouleau says. “When Elizabeth keeps reapplying, it may not be offering any more benefit after a few applications even though it may feel like it.”
