Hint: You might want to stock up on SPF and sheet masks — and maybe even umbrellas.

Hathaway takes her sunscreen seriously. She told the Sun in 2012 that her mom taught her to wear “factor 30 sun cream” on the daily, adding, “I even carry an umbrella if I walk in the sunshine and use spray tan if I need to look as if I’ve been sunbathing.”

While she once name-dropped an Actinica sunscreen similar to the ISDIN formula above in an Allure interview, she’s also been rumored to use La Roche-Posay.

Exfoliate and hydrate

“Anne is incredibly disciplined when it comes to her skin,” Hathaway’s longtime facialist, Su-Man, told Net-a-Porter in 2022. The celebrity beauty pro recommends applying toner, such as the Omorovicza Queen Essence Toner ($110), and a serum like this Dr. Barbara Sturm favorite.

“To brighten and renew skin, use an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells, and apply toner and serum before sealing them in with a hydrating sheet mask,” Su-Man advised, adding that eye cream and moisturizer should follow.

Make masks a morning thing

As for Hathaway’s mask must-haves? Su-Man told Net-a-Porter she recommends applying them in the morning rather than before bedtime.

“You want to glow and go out, not glow and go to bed,” she explained, adding that she recommends combining the masks “with a facial massage to wake up lethargic skin and reduce puffiness.”

While her recommendations included La Mer’s The Hydrating Facial ($250) and the Chantecaille Bio Lifting Mask ($165), the latter brand also comes backed by Hathaway herself; the actress touted these gold eye masks in a 2019 Allure interview, calling them “so expensive but truly, deeply brilliant.”

Go for makeup products with skincare benefits

Hathaway’s long worked with makeup artist Gucci Westman, who used products including her own Vital Skin Foundation Stick ($68) and Face Trace Contour Stick ($48) to get her glammed up for her Interview magazine shoot in 2022. The former’s made with vegetable-derived squalane and camellia seed and coconut oils for a nourishing boost, while the latter’s got antioxidant-rich vitamin E and jojoba oil.

“Anne’s [look] can be really ingenue and pure… but she can also be quite sexy and juicy in a way that you don’t expect,” Westman — who also used her Eye Pods Eyeshadows ($88) and celeb-loved Eye Love You Mascara ($58) on Hathaway — wrote on her blog at the time.
