Food Network royalty, best-selling author and decorated producer Padma Lakshmi has had her fair share of over-the-top experiences and culinary adventures throughout her career. She’s made traveling the world and educating viewers on all things regional cuisine somewhat of her specialty. With a jet-setting lifestyle like Lakhsmi’s, you may expect her self-care routine to be just as extravagant. But thanks to a recent Instagram reel, we now know the author’s “less is more” skin-care tips and favorite products for looking and feeling her best.

Padma Lakshmi’s 3 Favorite Skin-Care Products, Revealed

“Less is more when it comes to skin care,” the Taste the Nation creator and NewBeauty cover star wrote in the caption for her recent beauty-related Instagram reel before getting into her top three skin-care products. Lakshmi’s first callout is an anti-aging powerhouse: Christine Chin’s Youth Regenerator Serum ($98). “Christine Chin is my favorite facialist here in New York, and I’ve been going to her for years and years,” Lakshmi says. “I’m a loyal customer,” she reveals, adding that the potent hyaluronic acid serum is “very good.”

After joking about having trouble reading the label without her glasses, Lakshmi highlighted EADEM’s Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum ($68) as another favorite, praising the product for being formulated with women of color in mind. “This is one of the few things that I just nadged off Instagram and tried it, and it actually works,” she says. For her nighttime skin care, Lakshmi opts for OGEE’s Vitamin C Serum ($88). “There’s a lot of good vitamin C serums, but this one I really love because it’s 20 percent concentration and I think that’s great,” she raves before ending with—in true mom fashion—”But be careful, don’t get it in your eyes.”
