We already know what Mindy Kaling's favorite DIY face mask is. We also know she has no shame in her zit-cream-selfie game. The multi-hyphenated star even let us in on her favorite makeup products for brown women. Now, Kaling is revealing even more about her beauty must-haves.
"I have oily skin. People keep telling me that will help me age, but ehhh, I feel like I look my age so when does that kick in, huh?" Kaling writes on the website li.st (the same place you can find her brown-beauty buys). She then goes on to list her favorite oily skin-friendly products that she is using at the moment. "My products change depending on the time of year, but here's what I'm using now! (I don't use them all at once, this is just my rotation)," she says.
We'll take anything with Kaling's seal of approval, so… Ahead, we present you with her current skin-care gems. Witty commentary from Mindy included, of course.
"No added extra-bad chemical stuff in this guy, so I use it to loosen my makeup," Kaling says about this "old faithful" cleanser. Not going to lie — it's up there on our fave list, too.
Cetaphil Daily Face Cleanser $7.99, available at Ulta Beauty.
"Add water to this, and it becomes a gentle exfoliating face wash," Kaling recommends. "Takes every bit of makeup off. Even eye makeup!"
Babor Baborganic Biological Enzyme Cleanser, $28.50, available at Amazon.
Kaling lists Cate Blanchett as the person who turned her on to SK-II's "clean and uncomplicated" anti-aging starter kit. "I heard Cate Blanchett uses it so I was like, SIGN ME UP," she writes. "Even though she is an alabaster statue and I'm an oil slick, it works well for both of us! Weird!"
SK-II Pitera Starter Kit, $69, available at SK-II.
Kaling lists this eye mask as her savior for early morning calls.
Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask, $63, available at Sephora.
This bad boy is for those on the clumsy side. "Miracle product for nicks and cuts," Kaling says. "I start using this the instant I get any kind of abrasion, to avoid a scab becoming a scar."
bioCorneum Advanced Scar Supervision, $65, available at Amazon.
"SPF that is truly mattifying but also not chalky on my dark skin," Kaling says about this oil-free sunscreen. She notes that it's great to use as a primer before makeup.
Dr. Denese SPF 30 Defense Day Cream, $75, available at QVC.
As we know from her no-shame selfie, yes, even actresses still get pimples. "Nothing like a good old whitehead on dark brown skin," Kaling says. Her savior: Tria's acne-clearing light. "This little device has helped me many times before I go on a talk show. I don't need no James Corden staring at a pimple on my forehead."
Tria Acne Clearing Blue Light, $299, available at Sephora.
