Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Lucy Hale prepped her skin with one to three drops of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic ascorbic acid serum, said to protect skin from environmental free radicals like UV, ozone, and diesel exhaust (via SkinCeuticals). Next, Hale applied a few pumps of BENEV's GF-DNA Stem Cell Serum with peppermint. Hale used any leftover growth serum on her signature thick brows to keep them full and defined. To combat skin spots, the early-30s actress turned to her favorite color correcting serum: The Things We Do Pigment Remedy, dabbing the serum over the afflicted areas.

"My skin definitely in the summer time gets way more dehydrated than usual," Hale revealed (via YouTube). To nourish and hydrate her face, Hale swears by Kate Somerville DermalQuench Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Treatment. She applied the serum by shaking the bottle, spraying a thin layer into her hands, and then rubbing the product all over her face. "You always want to apply your products from thinnest to thickest," Hale reminded viewers. "Start with your serums, then your moisturizers, then your oils."
