Pharrell Williams Shares Timeless Skincare Tips at Age 51
In a candid conversation with People magazine, Pharrell Williams, the celebrated musician and cultural icon, divulged the skincare secrets that have contributed to his radiant complexion at the age of 51. The “Happy” singer discussed his essential two-step routine for achieving and maintaining youthful skin.
Pharrell emphasized the importance of exfoliation, describing it as a crucial part of his regimen. However, he goes deeper than mere surface-level care. “It’s not just about the products; it’s also about what’s inside you,” he remarked, gesturing toward his heart, underscoring the significance of emotional well-being and maintaining an inner childlike spirit. “Never silence that inner child. Embrace it fully and live in the moment.”
This isn’t the first time Pharrell has highlighted exfoliation as his key to youthful skin. In a past interview with GQ, he humorously claimed, “I exfoliate like a madman. Keeping that dead skin at bay is essential.” Yet, not everyone is convinced that exfoliation alone explains his stunning look. R&B artist Frank Ocean once critiqued Pharrell’s skincare advice, suggesting there’s a need for more substantial insights: “It’s been years and Pharrell still hasn’t given us the keys yet. We need more keys.”
In 2020, Pharrell took his passion for skincare a step further by launching his own line, Humanrace, in collaboration with his longtime dermatologist, Elena Jones. The line features a variety of products, including the Humidifying Face Cream priced at $52 and the Lotus Enzyme Exfoliator at $46. These formulations include effective ingredients like hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom extract, making them appealing to skincare enthusiasts.
Adding to his accolades, Pharrell was recently announced as one of the co-chairs for the 2025 Met Gala alongside a star-studded lineup that includes the likes of Colman Domingo and A$AP Rocky. The Met Gala will explore the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” showcasing the intersection of fashion and cultural identity.
Pharrell continues to inspire fans not only through his music but also by promoting a holistic approach to skincare that combines physical care with emotional health. His dedication to maintaining a youthful glow serves as a testament to the importance of balance in life.
