As a former Today show host, Hoda Kotb is naturally used to being in the public eye all the time—and she always looks radiant. Recently, Hoda dropped all her beauty secrets, and she revealed that one of her go-to’s for glowy skin is a drugstore staple.
In a recent interview with Parade, Hoda—the now-founder of Joy 101 (her new wellness company)—described her skincare favorites and the order she applies them in.
“I take a super hot shower, and I use Scarlett Johansson's face wash,” Hoda shared. (We discovered it’s The Cleanser by Scarlett’s brand, The Outset, which has recently ended operations). “I like it a lot,” she continued. “So I use that and then this face oil my sister gave me [Chantecaille Rose de Mai Face Oil].
Then she gets into the big star of the show: Bio-Oil (which, by the way, is on sale in multiple sizes for Prime Big Deal Days).
Hoda has shared her love for Bio-Oil many times in the past. She once exclaimed, “I’m a big fan of Bio-Oil,” on an episode of SHOP Today, and when asked in the Parade interview on how she gets glowy skin, she said she uses Bio-Oil nonstop. “I use it like it's going out of style. I slab it on my face, my body,” she shared. Hoda said she finishes her routine with the brand’s Dry Skin Gel moisturizer.
Our Beauty Lab editors and beauty chemists at the Good Housekeeping Institute are fans, too. After all, they named Bio-Oil the best overall body oil and granted it a GH Beauty Award as it was proven to help improve the appearance of dehydrated, uneven skin, scars, and stretch marks after testing.
In fact, 90% of testers reported reduced hyperpigmentation and 82% saw their stretch marks start fading away after eight weeks of use. "I used this oil after I got a curling iron burn on my face, and it completely disappeared after a few days," shared Senior Beauty and Style Director April Franzino.
