Turning 50 is an exciting and major accomplishment—half a century of life experiences, memories and advice. There are quite a few leading ladies who turn 50 this year, including Reese Witherspoon, Melissa Joan Hart, Candace Cameron Bure and others. With all those years of knowledge, what we’re really curious about is the beauty advice they’ve listened to and doled out over the years and what beauty products they rely on most. Ahead, some of NewBeauty’s favorite celebs turning 50 this year and what to know about their tried-and-true beauty routines.
9 Celebrities Turning 50 in 2026
Reese Witherspoon
The actress turned 50 on March 22, and over the years, she’s sung the praises of several serums, including Biossance’s Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum ($68) and Révive’s Intensité Volumizing Serum Ultime ($620). “It’s not just what you put on your skin, which is really important, but it’s also how things are made, and this company combines all the nerdy parts of science with the charm and the fun of skin care and beauty,” Witherspoon said in a 2021 Instagram video.
Melissa Joan Hart
Turning 50 on April 18, Hart was a major part of ‘90s TV thanks to her iconic roles on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Clarissa Explains It All. She’s leaned into a simple, straightforward skin-care routine as the years have gone on and she balances motherhood with self-care time. Hart previously told NewBeauty: “I’ve always been terrible at hydrating, but now I’ve got that big Stanley Cup thing, and I feel like I’m finally properly hydrated. Those have been the biggest changes, but it’s also funny how I do things now, like sleep on my back because I don’t want chest wrinkles.But really, my skin-care routine has gone from being extremely complicated to a much simpler version," she continued. "I think that’s also because I had late-onset adult acne in my thirties, and I was trying to navigate that while I was doing Melissa and Joey. I was wearing a lot of makeup and breaking out, and then [makeup and breakouts] are just a back-and-forth system. But I feel like I’ve simplified my whole health and beauty routine in a way. I try to make sure I moisturize, though.”
Candace Cameron Bure
This Aries actress turns 50 on April 6. Best known for her role as D.J. Tanner on Full House and Fuller House, you’ve also likely spotted her more recently in a slew of Hallmark and mystery movies as well. She’s chosen to embrace aging naturally and has spoken out about her relationship with cosmetic treatments in the past. In a 2020 interview with NewBeauty, she revealed that at that time she was not a regular Botox user, but she does get it about once a year to “lessen my angry lines.”“I’ve never had any other injectables or fillers in my face,” she said at the time. “I haven’t had any body treatments either, but I am curious about fat-melters for stubborn areas like my lower back love handles." In that same interview, she also shared some of her go-to beauty products, including the Lancer 3-Step Method Polish, Cleanse & Nourish ($75), Shiseido Eyelash Curler ($28) and L’Oréal Paris Original Voluminous Mascara ($12).

In an exclusive interview with NewBeauty in 2025, Fisher shared how she takes care of her skin while traveling. “I love these eye masks by Charlotte Tilbury, the Immediate Eye Revival Patches ($70). Even if I’ve had salt and sugar or alcohol the night before, they tighten my pores, and they just straight away make my eyes look less puffy. I try to chug a ton of water when I’m on a plane,” she said.

They’ve conducted over 120 clinical trials validating their high-performance formulas. U Beauty is safe, efficacious and results-driven. As someone who takes my health and skin care seriously, I take great comfort in how dedicated and conscious they are in their product development.”
