8 Reasons Why Debra Messing Never Seems to Age

"I have super, super sensitive skin, so I can’t have anything with fragrance in it … as gentle as possible. Meaningful Beauty, their cleanser is super, super gentle, so I wash with that."

"Aquaphor is my friend. I like Aquaphor for my lips."

"I’ll do masks every few weeks to try and clean out my skin. There’s a purifying mask, there’s a calming mask… I just try to switch it up so my skin doesn’t get sort of used to anything."

"I have a very strict diet, and that also came out of necessity, ‘cause when I was doing Mysteries of Laura my adrenals crashed. I was exhausted, and I had to keep working, so the only thing I felt like I could do to try to support my system was to eat better. So I cut out sugar, I cut out gluten, dairy, cut out coffee, cut out alcohol, and anything fried, and it’s incredible the difference. My energy level increased, my mental clarity was honed, I felt like my eyes were clearer, I was able to learn my lines better, and my body leaned out."

"My beauty routine is I will not go to sleep without taking all of my makeup off—that’s a pet peeve of mine."

The CoolSculpting ambassador describes the fat-freezing procedure as a miracle. "Unless you’re 12, everybody has different parts on their body that they’d like it to be a little smoother or a little flatter. I kind of liken it to getting facials—I go to get a facial, they do their thing, I come out, I feel more confident, I feel prettier, and that’s it. But the difference is, facials don’t last as long. This isn’t about trying to be perfect or about trying to attain some sort of unrealistic idea of what beauty means, it’s about just embracing yourself. It’s like, I like myself, I like my body, it’s just a slightly better version of it."

"I go regularly to Joanna Vargas (pictured above), she’s my facialist in New York, and she’s kind of magical, she has magic hands, and so basically whatever she thinks I need, she does."

After our interview, Messing immediately ditched her heels for a pair of cozy Uggs. Take it from Debra—comfort is always a priority.
