Naomi Watts, 52, reveals the secret to her age-defying complexion as she stuns on the cover of Vogue

Australian actress Naomi Watts is known for her natural beauty and age-defying looks. 

And now the 52-year-old has shared some of her beauty secrets, as she stuns on the cover of Vogue

In an accompanying interview with the publication, that was shared by The Australian, the Hollywood star revealed that she tries to keep out of the sun as much as possible and never sunbathes at the beach. 

So that’s how she does it! Naomi Watts, 52, has revealed the secret to her age-defying complexion to the latest edition of Vogue magazine

‘I love the beach but… not for baking oil into my skin and tanning,’ Naomi said. 

She added: ‘I like it for the feel of sand and crunching between your toes. I like the wind and the wispy hair.’ 

On the Vogue cover, The Ring star looks flawless as she shows off her porcelain complexion and trim figure.

In July last year, Naomi unveiled some of her favourite go-to products to The Chalkboard, with her typical haul costing a cool $860.

She said she relies on clean and natural products. 

Naomi, who co-owns Onda Beauty salons in Sydney, London and New York, said she was nervous at first to try clean skincare products.

‘I always thought that if it didn’t hurt, it probably wouldn’t work!’ Naomi told The Chalkboard.

‘Once I started trying things, I saw not only real efficacy, but a solid shift in my overly sensitive skin.’ 

She added: ‘Knowing that there are no harmful ingredients makes so much sense.’

The mother-of-two, who is known for roles in King Kong and The Ring, revealed some of her favourite products.

Naomi said she loves Barbara Sturm’s skincare and swears by the $284 Rich Face Cream, as well as Saint Jane’s $128 vitamin C drops, The C-drops.

She also loves the Active Botanical Serum from Vintner’s Daughter, which retails for $270, and Goop Beauty’s Goopglow microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator, worth $178.

Naomi is also a fan of Beautycounter’s $64 tinted moisturiser for when she needs some makeup.

Embracing it all: In October, she said that while she sometimes does wake up and wish she didn't have 'lines around my mouth or chin', she has realised that with a few wrinkles comes a much 'sturdier mind' - and a woman who knows what suits her skin and her face

‘I just think you have to embrace the aging process. There are going to be good days, and there are going to be bad days,’ Naomi told Who What Wear.

The best piece of advice the Hollywood actress said she has ever been given is that it’s vital to drink at least two litres of water each day and she should make sure she gets eight hours of sleep a night. 

‘I can tell right away if I’ve had a good night’s sleep and if I drank the right amount of water the day before,’ Naomi told the publication.

‘If I don’t do well on both of those things, it absolutely manifests in my skin.’

Naomi said she is religious about getting facials every few months, taking her makeup off and wearing sunscreen every day.
