Nicole Kidman has maintained her bewitching beauty throughout her career, so we're naturally curious about her beauty hacks. Speaking with Harper's Bazaar, the "Practical Magic" star said she has a better appreciation for her fair skin after realizing over the years just how good it looks on film. Now, she makes sure to stick to a diligent skin care routine, which, as it turns out, is shockingly simple and centers on one factor: moisture.

Kidman, who has had a full beauty evolution, isn't just the face of Clé de Peau Beauté; she also swears by the brand's beauty products. "I'm very, very picky about the brands that I align with, so it was really important to me that it was something that I could authentically know that I use, works for me, and that I could tell people actually works," she said. One of her staples is the brand's La Crème age-defying cream, which she noted she was using long before Clé de Peau Beauté approached her about an ambassadorship. "I really try to lather up because I love [my skin] to be moist. I love exfoliating. And then I love putting on moisture at night."

The actor admits that her beauty routine doesn't end there. "I sleep on a silk pillowcase — I'm one of those girls — and I wear an eye mask. It isn't pretty," she joked. "I'm very open, if I know something is good ... there's nothing I would refuse to share."

Speaking of being very open, Kidman revealed a few other non-negotiables for maintaining her vibrant glow. She named Clé de Peau Beauté 's skin-renewal serum and protective day cream in her exclusive with Harper's Bazaar, stating she uses them 'pretty much religiously,' adding that their lip glosses are also a must. She also told People that she uses the brand's UV Protective Cream SPF 50+. "I went to Wimbledon and this is what I wore — it's so good," she said, noting she applied it before using The Foundation SPF 22. Another one of her go-tos is the Radiant Multi Repair Oil, which Kidman humorously said her skin would thank her for applying every night. "I'm a girl that loves to put oil on my skin and it's a beautiful one that doesn't clog pores," she added.

For Kidman, however, beauty goes beyond fancy products. She's a huge advocate of nurturing one's inner peace and strength, and uplifting the women around her. "You realize the importance of empowering other women, and the way in which you are empowered. That sort of inner confidence actually shows through, and to me that's very beautiful," she told People. Kidman also does what she needs to maintain her inner calm. "I'll ask for a hug. I meditate, I pray [...] I'm a big believer in breath work. Those sorts of things are tiny tools that you can have in your toolkit that can help you be the best you can be."
