If you ever wondered how to get gorgeous skin like Karrueche Tran, your prayers have been heard and answered. The personal shopper turned Claws actress is known for her effortless "I woke up like this" beauty and for skin that always looks as poppin' as it does radiant. Karrueche will be turning 30 this coming year however her fabulous skin is at least 10 years behind.

Who needs a ton of makeup when your face is already the perfect canvas? Ms. Karrueche is no stranger to taking no makeup up selfies just as quickly as she rocks the "no makeup" makeup look, and her naturally flawless skin is the reason why she can pull off both looks so easily. Karrueche, who is currently serving as a spokesperson for Curve Men Fragrances, sat down with The Cut and dished on some of her best kept secrets to her flawless fabulous skin. Get ready to take a few notes -- Karrueche obviously has the keys to skin success.

While most people's version of working up a sweat is in reference to getting their bodies in tip-top shape, Karrueche reveals that sweat, more specifically sweating out toxins, is a major key in her skincare routine.

"I do Sweatheory, it's a place in L.A. where they have small, heated saunas that go up to 130 degrees. You can sit in it. When I want to clear my face or if I'm feeling sick and want to get toxins out of my body, I'll sit in there for around an hour. I step out at certain times when it gets too hot. I've been doing a lot of hot yoga too, where I sweat a lot...I feel like [sweat] is a really good way to clear out your pores without having to do too much picking. It all comes out."

While many of us on the road to flawless skin incorporate water into our diets to help boost the health of our skin, Karrueche takes it up a notch by adding steam into the equation. Karrueche notes that steaming her face before applying a mask has helped her skin tremendously. When it comes to finding the right mask for her skin needs, Karrueche doesn't mind splurging but one of her favorites comes from none other than Target.

"I do a lot of masks. I recently invested in a facial steamer that you put water into. I wash my face, steam it, and put on a mask right after because the steam opens up your pores. I put the mask on for ten minutes, wash it off, and then melt an ice cube all over my face because that tightens your pores. Then if it's nighttime, I do a night cream or serum or an oil, something to keep your skin moisturized. Glamglow, Peter Thomas Roth, Origins, La Mer all have good masks… they're more expensive, but they're great. Even Target, there's a brand called Que Bella that has very affordable masks. Those work very well too. I get really puffy eyes so I'm all about a good puffy eye mask."

Speaking of oil, as an added bonus, Karrueche also briefly shares how she is getting her tresses healthy again after dying her hair platinum blonde over two years ago. While she admits that going blonde from black may have been a big mistake, she is finding ways to get her hair's health back together.

"My scalp has been very dry lately with the weather, so I bought Moroccan oil scalp treatment. It comes with a little squeeze-y thing. You squeeze the oil into your hands and just massage it into your hair, it's so easy. Sometimes I'll leave it in for a day or two if I don't have a hairstyle that I need to do. Just keeping that moisture in my hair is important.

With being on set and in the spotlight for long periods of time, Karrueche is very particular about the kind of foundation and other makeup products that she uses. She revealed some of the holy grail products that she keeps in her arsenal that don't disrupt her skin's overall health.

"Right now I'm using a Bobbi Brown foundation stick. It's the perfect tone and it's not too heavy or oily. Nars' Velvet Matte foundation is really good because I have oily skin. For concealer, I use Nars. I have like, three or four different concealers. Sometimes our shades change so I mix shades if I'm a little darker or lighter or if I'll be in certain types of lighting. I'm not really big on highlighter at all. I'm not really into shiny. But, Laura Mercier has an illuminating highlighter that's really good. It's a finishing powder that has a little bit of shimmer in it."

Of course, proper makeup removal is another thing that Karrueche lives by and, to our surprise, one of her favorite products to remove makeup is Burt Bee's facial wipes (the pink or orange pack depending on her mood that day).

Why A Solo Trip To Aruba Was The Nervous System Reset I Needed This Winter

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I host every year, from intimate dinner parties to holiday movie nights and even bigger holiday parties for my business. I’m also always the person who encourages others this time of year who are navigating grief, but this year I found myself holding more than I could carry.

2025 was a beautiful year, one marked by growth, travel, and wins I worked hard for, but it also carried profound grief. The day before Thanksgiving, my godfather, who helped raise me and had been a second father to me my entire life, passed away. On the day of his funeral, my grandfather was admitted to the hospital as he began treatment.
