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.
