Gwyneth Paltrow shared how she keeps her skin moisturized with oil during the cold months in a new video on Instagram.
The Iron Man actress looked fresh-faced in the video with her blonde hair pulled back from her face and minimal makeup on.
The looker – – who wrote an essay about turning 50 – wore a cozy grey cardigan as she talked about the Goop Genes products she uses on her face.
‘My skin tends to get really really parched and I’m constantly layering on face oil and our moisturizer all the time,’ the Oscar winner said. ‘I think everybody knows by now how in love I am with our facial oil, I use it multiple times a day.’
The Goop founder, 50, added it is a ‘nourishing’ product. ‘It includes a natural retinol alternative and nine powerful nutrient-dense oils that really create this unique texture and give you this youth boosting result, your skin gets firm, it smooths wrinkles out, it’s the best.’

She also talked about how she likes to spend winter: ‘I love a good staycation in the winter. Stay in front of the fire and cook and read and time to hibernate. Time to be at home and be cozy.’
But at the same time, she has a sporty, adventurous side too.
‘We do love a ski trip. We try to get a few days in every year. I grew up skiing with my family so it’s something I’ve tried to continue with my own kids,’ shared the mother to Apple and Moses.
And the Oscar winner admitted that her husband Brad Falchuk tears up the slopes more than she does.
‘Brad is a better skier. He does like trees and bumps and all that stuff, I’m too old for that sh*t at this point,’ she said.
She held up a small white bag and said, ‘This is my whole winter skin routine in a little bag.’
Talking about Goop’s eye patches, the Shakespeare in Love star, explained, ‘These are critical for winter skin, eyes, your crows feet get more pronounced… these eye masks are super potent…they really change the way your eyes look.’
She went on to talk about other products in the Goop Genes line and how she finds them beneficial to keeping winter’s dry skin at bay.

And then she extolled the virtues of the Good Genes’ Nourishing Repair Body Butter.
‘This cream—I could not live without. People honestly tell me all the time, “Your legs look so good,” I swear, this is the reason. The way it makes the light hit your legs is incredible: If you have an event to go to and you’re going to be showing your legs, this is it. It’s rich, it’s hydrating, and it’s ultra, ultra nourishing. It just gives you this beautiful, moisturized sheen, and it’s amazing.’
She moved on to talk about her brand’s Fix and Restore Balm.
‘This is the 911-emergency balm. It’s really rich and concentrated, and it will solve all your problems—from head to toe. Not to overstate, but it’s true. It helps to repair the skin barrier in just 30 minutes.
‘I like it on my lips, for example, if they’re really chapped, cuticles, elbows—really just anywhere you need an extra hit of intense, concentrated moisture, and it helps lock it into your skin for up to 48 hours.’
And finally, the Sliding Doors actress discussed winter lip care.
‘Our new lip balm trio follows our first lip balm trio, which was so popular. We had to make a couple of new colors, which I’m very excited about. It’s a clean lip balm with this super moisturizing formula, really cushiony and nourishing.
‘Peony is a really nice soft pink—you can also apply to your cheeks for a little extra hit of color. My favorite one for nighttime is Tomato—this is me going out of my comfort zone and wearing a bright lip, and I love it. The clear balm is the one that I have in every pocket, every handbag, in my car. I need lip balm every two minutes, basically.’
