In light of the quarantine and lockdowns all over, we’ve all laid off the makeup and focused purely on our skincare routines. Something we would have never done if there was no lockdowns 😂😂

However, we all know of a beauty queen who laid off makeup for quite some time now and has been appearing to shows, events and concerts with her natural face. It is no other than the only and only, Alicia Keys! 😍

To be able to pull-off a no-makeup look requires a lot of confidence. However, it turns out that the Girl On Fire singer was not always confident in her own skin. She even wrote a piece fo Lenny Letter a couple years back talking about the daily insecurities a women faces when trying to look perfect. She wrote:

“Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn’t put on makeup: What if someone wanted a picture? What is the POSTED the picture? These were the insecure, superficial, but also honest thoughts I was thinking. And all of it, one way or another, was based too much on what people thought of me”.

But now, Alicia has moved on from that perception and is in a completely different place with her skin. She is super comfortable going bare faced and this has a lot to do with her new strict skincare routine. The singer did a bathroom tutorial for Vogue recently, and she listed the five products she uses diligently to get her skin looking so flawless. Here it is:

In my feelings today

A post shared by Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) on

Her skincare routine are as follows:

Osmosis +MD Deep Clean Detox Cleanser

Price: $25.00

Where to buy: Ebay Singapore

Alicia uses this when she feels sweaty after a workout or when her skin needs an oomph of strength when cleansing. What she does is, she swathers it up on her damp skin, and in upward stroking motions, she reaches her neck. She then rinses the residue off with water and pats her face dry with a flannel. What’s really special about this product is that it contains coconut surfactants that offer a deep clean without stripping your skin.

Epicuren Bulgaricum Probiotic Mask Powder

Price: US $42.00

Where to buy: Epicuren Discovery

Also, she uses a simple Aloe Vera gel as a base for her two-ingredient calming mask. She then gently massages the mixture into her skin in circular motions as you would when applying an exfoliating scrub. She waits about 5 to 20 minutes before washing it off.

Sacred Rose Water Spray Body Mist & Aromatherapy

Price: US $25.00

Where to buy: Amazon

Alicia uses this specific rose water, but any rose water would do for that matter. She mists her face and upper body with this spray and goes on to explain what she loves about this. Also, in technical terms, rose water is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that helps balance the pH of our skin.

Lancer Skincare Eye Contour Lifting Cream

Price: $140.00

Where to buy: lookfantastic.com.sg

Alicia loves this product because it comes in a day and night version. She jokes “My mother never put anything under her eyes for a hundred years, and I feel like, let’s start now!”

X-Treme Cream Propolis Sunscreen SPF 45+

Price: $67.90

Where to buy: OZ Cosmetics

When you see a celeb’s skin looking all flawless, you just know that have a good SPF on their hands. Alicia uses this sunscreen in place of a normal moisturiser, which is totally okay if you feel your SPF offers sufficient hydration for your skin. The main reason she loves this sunscreen is because it is so lightweight.
