“When I get stressed or tired, my body reacts and it’s super-sensitive. I just embrace it and try to be kind to it, and myself, because I think stressing about it doesn’t do anything,” says actor Peyton List on treating acne. She begins her beauty routine with a hydrating formula by CeraVe—a product she discovered through TikTok—followed by a facial mist, the iS Clinical Active Serum, and Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright Eye Crème. For lips, hot water on a washcloth and a bit of Lucas Papaw Ointment provides gentle exfoliation and nourishment.
The Cobra Kai star has been interested in skin care since she was young, crediting her mom, who worked for Bobbi Brown, for introducing her to new products. “I like to keep it simple with my skin-care routine. I think I used to be a 30 to 40 step person, but then I realized it made my skin worse and was breaking me out more,” she says, applying a Mario Badescu moisturizer with SPF.
Starting in on makeup, the 23-year-old mixes Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk and Shiseido’s Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation. “It covers up acne and makes my skin look glowy and still look like skin,” she notes of the combination. Now that List has found a beauty routine that works for her, she reflects on growing up in the industry and some of her more cringe-worthy makeup looks of appearances past. (List got her start at age 10, acting as Young Jane in the movie 27 Dresses.) According to List, being a young actor also meant learning how to stick up for herself and the importance of having a thoughtful team, even while in the hair and makeup chair. “I realized it’s okay to protect yourself. I realized there’s no one there to do it. And at the end of the day, I’m going home and I’m the only one left with me…I had to learn how to defend myself and realize I’m not being difficult or hard to work with.”
When it comes to getting a brushed-up brow, List turns to Anastasia Beverly Hills’s Perfect Brow Pencil spoolie. Her advice? “Brush them up as much as you can, and then while they’re brushed up fill in the spots [with pencil] then brush them back down.” Next, she adds some color to her look, reaching for eyeshadow palettes from her newly introduced beauty line, Pley. “Beauty to me has just created so many characters. I like to have fun with color and express myself through makeup,” List says. It’s a marked contrast to the years when she would hide behind full-coverage makeup. “In my teenage years I wanted to be older, to be perceived differently,” List reflects. “It’s so funny looking back and thinking about how insecure I would get. I was one of those people who wouldn’t leave the house without my makeup.”
