Nicole Kidman’s creamy complexion is as much her beauty signature as her blonde hair. She never tans, which is why – presumably – Neutrogena thought her the perfect muse for its sun care collection.
Asked by The Cut if she wears SPF every day without fail, she confirmed: 'I reapply all the time. I was just shooting outside last week. It was almost 100 degrees in NYC. I was out in the sun all day from beginning to end. I reapplied SPF 100-plus, which is crazy, but I didn’t get burnt once.'
And there we were thinking our SPF 50 was saintly.

While one would expect this level of protection to come with a heavy white cast, the actress explained it’s quite the opposite. 'I use the Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 100+. It goes beautifully under make-up because it’s dry touch.' She even puts it over make-up.
Kidman also spoke of her colleagues’ reaction to her sunscreen diligence.'They’re like, ‘Oh my god’. But my skin doesn’t have the damage a lot of people.'
Quite. She’s on to something.
