Lupita Nyong'o: "I Use Beauty Products as a Celebration of Just Naked Me"

What she puts on her skin when she goes makeup-free:

"I put on a light, natural oil, like an argan oil or avocado oil. And then I use Lancome Energie de Vie — it has a day and a night cream. And I really like that. I just use that first thing in the morning and the night cream at night. It's a little thicker and really hydrates the skin."

Travel skincare advice for dealing with dehydration:

"On flights, it's especially so hard to hydrate because you can't get up, so every time you have to call the flight attendant and all that. I use the Lancome Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Serum. It's great because you can use it with or without makeup. So that's a good hydrator.

I also use humidifiers to restore [the air]. That's very, very helpful. It's also good for jet lag. With jet lag, your body is totally disoriented, so it uses up its store of moisture. So when you rehydrate in all matters — you drink water, you put moisturizer on your face — you also allow for the pore to directly absorb moisture. That's very, very helpful."
