Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that celebrities these days aren’t just ageing gracefully — they’re completely redefining what ageing means.
Whether they’re resorting to invasive procedures to achieve said aesthetic remains to be seen, but what we do know — after consulting with skin expert and The Skin Bar founder Samantha Appel — is that their results are achievable without plastic surgery.
“If there’s one trend we’re loving in 2025, it’s the shift from overdone fillers to makeup-free, natural skin. Think Lindsay Lohan’s graceful comeback or Christina Aguilera’s beautifully-even complexion,” Sam shares. “At The Skin Bar, we’ve always championed the power of healthy, fresh skin over fleeting fads, delivering ‘it-girl’ treatments without the celebrity price tag.”
beautyheaven sat down with Sam to discuss the steps we can take in our own lives to maximise our looks just like Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera and Demi Moore. This is how to glow up like a celebrity, according to an expert in the field.
1/ Skip the 10-step skin care routine
“Skin care shouldn’t be complicated, in 2025 we’re doing more with less,” Sam tells beautyheaven.
The Skin Bar founder prioritises products with dual purposes like the Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm ($62.96 from Oz Hair & Beauty).
“It’s a unique cleansing balm that transforms into an oil cleanser when applied to the face,” she explains. “It gently melts away any makeup, SPF, dirt and impurities from the face without being harsh.”
“Bottao’s The Bottao Duo ($251.60 from Bottao) is a simplified skincare solution that combines nine steps into just two products,” Sam shares. “These formulations nourish, protect, and elevate your skin with minimal effort, making it easy to maintain a radiant complexion.”
“Some of my non-negotiable ingredients include vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and SPF,” she went on to say. “I love that these ingredients are all very skin friendly, and clients from ages 25 and onwards can use them.”
“I love to use the Three Warriors Radiant Complexion Serum ($80 from The Iconic) at night for a super-light, sunless summer glow,” says Sam, which features ingredients like hyaluronic acid, marine collagen, and niacinamide.
2/ Get plump, even skin with microneedling
“If smooth, glowing skin is your goal, skin needling is your secret weapon,” Sam tells bh.
“Christina Aguilera, Demi Moore, and even ex-lovers Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are fans of this timeless treatment,” she explains.
“Skin needling stimulates collagen, evens tone, and leaves your skin plumped to perfection,” she tells us. “It’s a favourite at The Skin Bar because it’s not just effective— it’s transformational.”
3/ Lift and sculpt with RF needling
“For those dreaming of a chiselled jawline or wanting to say goodbye to a double chin, Radio Frequency needling is your answer,” shares Sam. “This cutting-edge treatment lifts, contours, and tightens, sculpting your face until it’s red-carpet ready.”
“Whether you’re looking for that Lindsay-esque sharp jawline or just a confidence boost, RF needling delivers next-generation results with minimal downtime,” she explains.

I am doing only basic skin care routine.
The Skin Bar is expensive for what is essentially soap
The Skin Bar is a skin care clinic, not a product, so I’m not sure what your comment is actually referring to.
I’ve started using Bioderma cleanser each morning rather than just water to wash my face. My skin has really improved since starting.
I’ve simplified my skincare routine and I’ve found my skin is so much clearer and smoother.
I’ve been curious about trying needling for a long time, but still haven’t tried it.
I am not into needles so will pass on this one
Ooh goodie there’s one at mermaid Beach. ❤️ 💙 💜
I visited the Skin Bar last year when they were offering a free session as part of the launch of one of their new locations. It was honestly impressive. Honestly outside my budget but the experience was insightful nonetheless.
Step 1: have lots of money
I like a simple skin routine.
Definitely agree with skipping the 10-step skincare routine – the simpler, the better!
I was thinking about trying the microneedling until I saw the red images. I’ll stick to makeup.
