This "Heated Rivalry" star shared the product that keeps his lips hydrated and camera-ready
Plus, he has a great skincare routine.
Everyone seems to be watching Heated Rivalry right now. And the main characters have become pretty iconic IRL…especially Hudson William, who shared his skincare routine with The Cut last month.
According to the pub, he sent them a 20-minute-long video of himself explaining what products he uses on his skin and why. And one product in particular is one I’ve been using since I was a child—Burt’s Bees Original Beeswax Lip Balm.
The reason this product deserves an entire letter dedicated to its greatness is that, out of all the products William used on his skin (there are a ton—scroll down to see), it was surprising to see a simple drugstore product be his go-to for hydrated, smooth lips.
If you’re unaware, Burt’s Bees is made with responsibly sourced beeswax and 100% natural origin ingredients. What’s more, it conditions, softens, and seals in moisture without shine. And it’s tint-free, making it the perfect hydrating product for your lip combo.
If you don’t have time to watch the 20-minute video, here’s every skincare product he mentioned. The list is lengthy, but it seems to work pretty flawlessly for his skin.
Celimax jojoba-oil cleanser, Beauty by Earth gua sha, Foreo Bear, Clarisonic Cleansing System, Skin1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam, Le Labo Santal 33 Shampoo, Le Labo Santal 33 Conditioner, Le Labo Santal 33 Shower Gel, Every Man Jack Body Wash, Numbuzin No. 3 Toner, Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, Avène Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Serum, Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Light Gel cream, Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule, CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin, Skin1004 SPF 50, CosRx pimple patches, Murad spot treatment, Shu Uemura Sakura cleansing oil, VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100, CeraVe retinol serum, Ordinary’s salicylic acid serum, Medik8’s Liquid Peptides, Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep serum, JMsolution Placen Horse mask, Klairs Midnight Blue Calming cream, VT Cosmetics Cica Care Spot Patch. Lush lip Scrub, and the Aquaphor Healing Ointment.
A few weeks later, William reflected on the viral video on The Cut’s Golden Globes red carpet. “It looks unmedicated. It looks like a PSA for an ADHD medication, but I’m glad you all like it.
So while you’re rewatching Heated Rivalry and admiring his glowing skin, just know there’s a very, very lengthy routine behind it.
