We’ll be incorporating this into our routine.

There is no denying that Nicole Kidman (and mum-of-four) has the flawless, dewy complexion of women only half her age.

Apparently, Kidman is a fan of keeping things simple when it comes to her skincare routine, and recently revealed in an interview with Vogue just how she keeps her skin so ageless and glowing. Her brilliant trick?

“I think I do that because when I was young, I would swim in the ocean in Australia,” she says. “So there’s something connected to starting the day with cold water. There’s something about the ocean—the salt—that feels so good for you.”

And while Kidman’s skin should be enough to want you to test this method out for yourself, you might also be interested to know that science is also backing up the theory that cold water is great for promoting good blood flow in your skin.
