Selena Gomez Says This Plumping Moisturizer Is So ‘Yummy’ & Shoppers Couldn’t Agree More

If I had to take skincare advice from anybody, Jennifer Aniston and Meghan Markle would be at the top of the list. These two seem to glow anytime, anywhere—and for good reason. They both swear by the same scientist-backed skincare line that consists of products made with traditional Japanese botanicals and clinical ingredients. And it seems like Selena Gomez is taking a page out of their books.

The award-winning actress, singer and beauty founder told Vogue UK that she relies on Tatcha moisturizers and cleansers to keep her skin as healthy as possible.

“I love Tatcha,” she said. “I think a lot of their moisturizers and face washes are gentle, but also extract all the nasty stuff.”

Now, specifically for her combination dry and oily skin, Gomez reaches for the brand’s coveted Dewy Skin Cream, a plumping moisturizer that’s known for its noticeable anti-aging benefits. This isn’t a new item in her skincare arsenal, though. In fact, she’s been using the product for years. She told Vogue back in 2020 that she uses the Dewy Skin Cream before putting on a full face of makeup, and added that “it’s so thick and yummy that you actually don’t have to use that much of it.”

There are a few major players in this moisturizer that, combined, make up a seriously beneficial skin treatment (specifically for mature skin): Japanese purple rice, Okinawa algae, hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts.

Rice? In a moisturizer? You bet, babe. Purple rice is packed to the brim with rich nutrients and antioxidants that can actually help your skin protect itself against pollution. This makes sense since the ingredient itself has to survive (and thrive) in harsh environments. Okinawa algae and hyaluronic acid combine together to create the moisturizing duo of your dreams. Rich in ceramides that build back your skin barrier, this combo is also an impressive plumping agent.

As for botanicals, ingredients like ginseng and thyme combine to moisturize your skin so deeply that they can actually help it retain and release moisture, creating a dewy glow. Thus, the name!

More than 3,000 shoppers have given this skin-saver an average 4.8-star rating, which, in the skincare world, is unheard of. They credit the nourishing product for diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while also combating dry and flaky skin at the same time.

“Before, my skin [was] extremely dehydrated, dull. Due to my working outside in the elements in all its glory, you can see my wrinkles from miles away,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “But as soon as I use this product, my skin is plump, hydrated without being greasy. It doesn’t clog my pores. Also, my skin is glowing AND my wrinkles aren’t nearly as visible!”

Starting at $22, you can shop the Dewy Skin Cream in three sizes ranging from a 10 mL travel one to a 75 mL bulk one. If, like Gomez, you want to improve your skincare routine and give your face some love, this is the item for you.

“When I was younger, I didn’t really take care of my skin,” Selena admitted in her Vogue video. Now, however, her outlook is all-encompassing.  “When you are taking care of your skin, you’re taking care of your mind and your body and your soul,” she said.

I don’t know about you, but my mind, body and soul could use a good Dewy Skin Cream.

Cindy Crawford’s Anti-Aging Skin & Haircare Brand Is Now at Amazon


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

Hair thinning, dullness, dehydration, breakage and dryness can happen for a variety of reasons, like hot tools and environmental stressors. But sometimes it’s just age. And that’s OK! Aging is great! But when you want your hair to look full, voluminous and a little more like it did before, look no further than Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty. The supermodel knows a thing or two about hair, especially since everyone tried to copy her look in the ’80s and ’90s.

Crawford co-developed the line to help with the signs of aging she was noticing. The key ingredients in the collection are the brand’s melon leaf stem cell technology and melon super antioxidants, which promise to moisturize the scalp, while silk proteins, castor oil, peptides and plant-based keratin work to strengthen hair and help reduce breakage.

The beauty icon’s ’90s blowout is even popular now, with the look currently trending on TikTok. “The glam blowout really never goes away!” says Crawford’s longtime hairstylist and brand ambassador, Richard Marin. “Although now it seems to be having a resurgence because so much of fashion is ’90s influenced. We are also seeing a return to very layered hair, which looks good air dried, but blown out has an even bigger effect.” 

It’s not just haircare, either. Crawford has a skincare line that contains that same melon leaf stem cell technology but with additional must-haves like retinol. You can pick them all up now officially at Amazon.

Learning to Brush Off the Arrows and Set an Example

set an example

We’ve lived six decades plus to know we can’t escape unexpected surprises, good and bad.

Several weeks ago, I wrote some thoughts about a phenomenon I’ve witnessed throughout my 40 years in behavioral health. I embedded a familiar story, which I thought most people knew. My mistake fueled some to send a few arrows my way. Ouch.

One of them really stung. The commenter excoriated the overall article, with the entire world to see. I read and reread the sentence that set the bow and arrows in motion, and agreed about one word, which replaced, would have better served the article.

Other than that, I stand by my writing.

Even with Other Successes It Stings

A traditional publisher took on my book.

I’ve written article upon article on a variety of themes, and I received supportive comments on this article, including one standout.

Yet, the sting lingered.

The good news? Nothing pierced, so what to do? Brush off the arrows, consider the critique, chisel my craft, keep writing, and lead by inspiring those who wish to succumb after harsh comments.

My message? Don’t retreat.

Why raise this topic?

Young People Are at Greater Risk

We can help the 21st century younger generation, who cry at anything resembling criticism. More than ever, many suffer from a malaise infecting their spirit.

With a bright future ahead, young people are becoming more disillusioned. They’re unable to replace cloudy lenses with clear ones. No sunlight permeates the fog before their eyes. Inertia dominates.

A myriad of issues plagues the youth, including the pandemic effects of isolation, and we shouldn’t minimize the harm from bullying via physical and modern-day internet forms, contributing to the bleak outlook on life.

Many loving parents are zealous to protect their children from suffering adversity.

A worthy cause, of course, and often a necessary one.

Young People Must Develop Resilience and Tenacity

What’s the downside to shielding children from the unavoidable, the rocky trajectory referred to as life?

This well-intentioned overprotection prevents children from developing tenacity and resilience and doesn’t ward off life’s obstacles placed in front of them.

One lesson doesn’t do it.

Practice and repetition, like sculpting a muscle, will help them develop those necessary attributes.

Young people need to endure disappointments to understand there’s life beyond the heavy fog, with a majestic rainbow waiting, ushering in sunshine. Life includes sun and fog.

Is this anything new?

No, but youth bleakness dominates our 21st century landscape.

With everything attainable in our immediate gratification society, depression and anxiety rose even pre-pandemic. The adolescents weren’t prepared for it.

Advances in innovation haven’t prevented these increased maladies and might’ve even exacerbated them.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok provide a venue for both younger and older people to connect, learn, and aspire. But a dark side ensues.

Eating Disorders and Suicide Are on the Rise

More young people have developed eating disorders, and on September 14, 2021, the Wall Street Journal published an article, Facebook Knows Instagram Is Toxic for Teen Girls, Company Documents Show. Facebook played down the impact on teen’s mental health, but most therapists understand the harm that’s been unfolding for years.

Suicide has also increased among all age groups, including the youth. Outlined in an article published by UCLA Health on March 15, 2021, the National Alliance on Mental Illness revealed 20 percent of high school students report serious thoughts, and nine percent have attempted to take their lives. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people age 15 to 24 in the U.S.

Boomers, How Can We Help?

How does this relate to Boomers?

First, whether a grandparent, teacher, therapist, or anyone else encountering a troubled young person, we must set an example. Share narratives about challenging situations of your own or about others who’ve endured the worst of situations.

Second, we need to emphasize their uniqueness and strengths. Don’t exaggerate but use some of their language. For example, years ago, I saw a lovely woman who couldn’t describe anything positive about herself. When I explored how others see her, she said, they referred to her as their rock.

How did I help her augment that symbol?

Being a hypnotherapist, I used her loved ones’ words, stating that not only was she a rock, but she rocked.

Third, young people don’t like lectures, so provide your information with pizazz, as if you told them a story. Invite questions to engage them. Use facial expressions and body gestures, and I promise, you’ll rivet them.

The most significant issue is hope. Offer it to them in language that works for you and the young person, conveying, “this too shall pass.”

As for Me

For me, the day after the arrows came at me, I saw a post from Write or Left that said it all:

Writers are weird. We won’t believe 100 people who tell us our work is good, but we’ll believe that one person who says it’s garbage.

How fortuitous for me to read this accurate statement. It helped the sting from those comments disappear, and I ready myself for what will come.

Your thoughts? I invite you to share.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Do you think a negative comment sting more than 10 positive ones? How do you brush off the arrows that come flying at you? Have you noticed that adolescents and younger people don’t take criticism very well?

Unfortunately, I finally just started spelling Katsanevas correctly—75% of the time anyways—and things are about to wrap up. And without further ado, here are the details on the dresses and shoes, while I continue to practice my shopping spelling.
