When it comes to maintaining her glow, Hailee Steinfeld takes a less-is-more approach. In fact, the award-winning actress, multi-platinum recording artist, producer, and Core Hydration+ partner considers herself more of a beauty minimalist than anything else. “Don't get me wrong,” she says. “I love a full glam look, but I also love just keeping it natural.” 

Not that Steinfeld doesn’t have plenty of beauty tricks up her sleeve; she’s been on film sets since she was a teenager, so she’s definitely picked up a pro tip or two. Like using her ring finger to pat in under-eye concealer because “it’s gentler on that delicate part of the face.” Or, accentuating her signature freckles and beauty marks with a dot of eyeliner after she’s applied foundation to her skin. “I like it as a finishing touch to bring out more of what makes me, me,” she explains.

Enhancing what she has is a running theme; not just in terms of beauty, but also in terms of her overall wellbeing. “I’ve learned to listen to my body; to not push myself too hard,” she says. To that end, she swears by the tried-and-true wellness basics: getting enough sleep, exercising daily, and—most importantly—staying hydrated. “The first thing I notice when I’m dehydrated is my skin: the circles under my eyes get a lot darker and there's an overall glow that’s missing,” she explains. “I can tell within a day if I've not had enough water; everything just kind of stops working.”

Steinfeld’s dedication to wellbeing makes her partnership with Core Hydration a natural fit. “Drinking water is very important to me and I believe it should be for everyone,” Steinfeld says. “But moreover, I love Core Hydration’s overall message—it’s all about finding your balance in life and work and everything; I’m so aligned with that.” She’s especially excited about the brand’s latest launch, Core Hydration+, a trio of nutrient-enhanced waters with real fruit extracts and essences that can help support wellness. Calm, for example, is infused with natural cucumber essence and contains the relaxation-supporting amino acid L-Theanine. Immunity has a hint of taste from natural lemon extract and contains Vitamin C and Zinc to help support a healthy immune system. And Vibrance—Steinfeld’s personal go-to—contains Biotin, Vitamin C, and Zinc to help support healthy skin, hair, and nails. Plus, “it has a refreshing flavor from natural pink grapefruit extract, which I’ve been loving,” Steinfeld says of the zero calorie, zero sugar, and zero sweetener water. 

“You know, when I'm traveling or super busy, sometimes I’m surprised by my own endurance—I think I owe a lot of that to just staying hydrated; it really helps with fatigue,” muses Steinfeld. And feeling energetic, she says, goes hand in hand with one of her other favorite beauty tips: “Confidence. It truly is the best beauty look you can achieve,” she says. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
