Minnie Mills, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Beauty Interview
Minnie Mills Shares How "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Impacted Her Confidence

Given that skin care was her first introduction to the beauty space, you might think that Mill's daily regimen is quite stacked, but she prefers to keep it simple. She uses just four steps: a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the mornings. "I don't wash my face with face wash in the mornings," she says. "I just rinse it with water and then apply a toner."
At night, her routine is a bit more involved. "I am very picky about how I remove my makeup," Mills says "[It's] really, really important to get everything broken down and clean, especially because of my job — I wear so much makeup when I do events or [am] on set."
She loves to use the Tatcha The Camellia Oil 2-in-1 Makeup Remover & Cleanser ($50) and then wipes everything away with a cleansing cloth. As the last step, she'll use a sleeping mask to really hydrate her dry skin. One of her favorites is the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane ($29).
When people think of self-care, taking a long bath or getting a massage often comes to mind. For Mills, the ultimate form of self-care is doing her makeup with her sister — especially now that they're both so busy and living far away from each other. "When she's home and I'm home, we can just sit in the bathroom and do our makeup and just catch up on life."
