Actress Hannah Waddingham has addressed speculation from fans regarding her skin's appearance during the press tour for the fourth season of "Ted Lasso." Some viewers suggested her flawless complexion was a result of digital alteration, a claim Waddingham refuted.
Her makeup artist, Stephen Sollitto, shared insights into Waddingham's skincare regimen, emphasizing the importance of exfoliation and hydration. He highlighted Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant as a key product for unclogging pores and controlling oil, contributing to a glowing complexion. Sollitto also noted the use of Paula's Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Pumping Moisturizer for hydration and the Peptide Eye Serum.
Waddingham, who is 52, has previously expressed a preference for skincare products with effective ingredients, avoiding those she deems unsuitable. Her approach includes a mix of high-end and accessible items.
Among her favored budget-friendly finds is Rimmel's Sunshimmer Instant Self Tan, which provides an immediate glow and can be washed off. Waddingham also relies on Weleda's Skin Food Light, a cream containing rosemary, calendula, and chamomile extracts, which she uses as part of her nighttime routine for its calming and moisturizing properties.
Further demonstrating her commitment to affordable yet effective products, Waddingham uses La Roche Posay's Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ for sun protection, crediting it with maintaining her youthful appearance. The SPF is noted for being sweat and waterproof and suitable for wear under foundation. She also favors La Roche Posay's Toleriane Ultra Eyes. For everyday freshness, Waddingham uses Mitchum's Powder Fresh Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant.
In terms of makeup, Waddingham achieves her signature look with MAC Eye Kohl Pencil Liner for smoky eyes and uses Iconic's Lip Plumping Gloss for her lips, as seen at the 2024 Golden Globes.
