Known for her rock star brunette waves, killer cheekbones and sun-kissed skin, it’s no wonder that Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge is the debut face of Jason Wu’s eponymous first fragrance. Along with her effortlessly natural look, the Californian beauty keeps a pretty simple beauty routine to match. From her minimal skincare habits (along with SPF of course) to travel-friendly rose water products, Aldridge proves that healthy skin is the ultimate beauty look on its own. Here, the model breaks down her exercise obsession, her beauty product must-haves, and her love for sheet masks.
