Watch: Thandie Newton Spills Beauty Secrets

It's no secret celebs have access to the best—and most expensive!—beauty products on the market, so we're always pleasantly surprised when they reach for drugstore goods.

As it turns out, that's exactly what Thandie Newton does!

When we recently caught up with the Brit babe at the Los Angeles premiere of Rogue, we just had to get her to share her tips for maintaining her absolutely flawless complexion. Like many women, the radiant star relies on a good go-to lotion, but she isn't stocking her medicine cabinet with a pricey formula. 

"I think a great moisturizer is a must, especially if you're in sun or wind," the actress told us. "My mother used Oil of Olay when I was a kid and now I use it."

Of course, now the brand is simply known as Olay, but not much else has changed about the brand's classic facial lotion—and that's just the way Newton likes it.  

It's tried and tested and affordable," she gushes. "I love it!"

Wow, stunning and down to earth. Now, that's true beauty!
