You can't get Mandy Moore-status skin in a day.
But using face serums regularly helps!
While applying a cream or moisturizer works, there are still many who skip on hydrating serums or face oils, which not only adds luminosity to a red carpet visage but helps slow down the signs of aging with continual use. During award season, it's a step celeb makeup artists make sure to not miss.

"I also use this on myself and it's a great trick for men to look sun-kissed without using a foundation or powder bronzer."
