Earlier this month, music mogul Pharrell Williams finally opened up about his skin-care routine, revealing how he maintains his youthful glow. To everyone’s surprise, the superstar believes the key to defying the aging process is exfoliating. He told Dazed Magazine, “I exfoliate like a madman. When you exfoliate and you drink a lot of water, that does good for you. To me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There’s a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic madman.” The regimen seems to be working for Williams who, at 44, appears to be aging in reverse. Nuff said.
