Pharrell Williams reveals skin care secrets that keep him looking young at 51

Pharrell Williams is sharing the secrets behind his youthful glow.

The “Happy” singer, 51, shared his two-part solution to ageless skin during an interview with People published Saturday.

“Now, there is a routine, and you can find them online, but I think probably the most active part of all: no, it’s two. It’s exfoliating, but it’s also here,” Williams said in the shot as she pointed to her heart.

“It’s literally in here. That inner child, never silence it,” the Louis Vuitton creative director continued.

“Don’t (go) ever, ‘Oh, I can’t do this anymore.’ here we are.”

Williams gave a similar answer when she spoke to Dazed in August 2017, revealing that her wrinkle-free skin was due to exfoliation.

“It exfoliates me like crazy. When you exfoliate and drink a lot of water, it’s good,” she said at the time. “For me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There is a lot of dead skin. all the time Like a crazy narcissist.”

However, some, including R&B singer Frank Ocean, had trouble believing that Williams was relying on just one exfoliation technique.

In his 2019 GQ cover story, Ocean called out the music producer for not revealing more detailed skin care tips.

“All these years have passed, and Pharrell still hasn’t given us the keys. It just says ‘exfoliate’, but it’s not just ‘exfoliate’ – we need more nails,” he said.
