- But said nowadays she needs more than just cleanser and moisturiser
- FEMAIL revisits the Oscar-winner's memorable looks spanning 25 years
She is as famous for her flawless porcelain complexion as she is for her huge acting talent.
So it's little wonder that skin care has become a top priority for Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, who is busier than ever as she makes the rounds on the Hollywood awards circuit for her film Lion.
Kidman has long been a proponent of sun protection, a lesson that was taught to her early during her childhood in Australia.
'From the time I was a little girl, my mum taught me to protect my skin from the sun,' Kidman revealed, as she was named the newest global brand ambassador for Neutrogena. 'So looking after the health of my skin is something I've grown up understanding.'
It's a lesson that Kidman is passing down to her own daughters, eight-year-old Sunday Rose and six-year-old Faith Margaret.
Although actresses are known for having great skin, few have rivaled Kidman's.
The Academy Award-winner's skin has shown little change from the start of her career on Australian television in the 1980s, to her highly-publicised divorce with Tom Cruise and superstardom she found in the mid-1990s to early 2000s.
Kidman continues to earn praise today with a string of independent films and television series that have brought a steady stream of award nominations.
But long gone are the days when the 49-year-old actress could just rely on cleanser and moisturiser to keep her own skin looking fresh.
'Now, of course, I'm looking to keep my skin as young as it can be, I mean we all are,' the Big Little Lies star revealed in a preview of her upcoming Neutrogena commercial.
'As time passes, I've realised that sun protection has become just part of the story,' she added.
'I've learned that your skin needs a lot of attention and support, just like the rest of your body, to keep it its healthiest.'
Kidman has used the brand's SPF 50 sunscreen for years to protect her iconic complexion, but is now adding another product to her makeup bag.
The mother-of-two touted Neutogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream, telling People Magazine she loves its 'hydrating' abilities.
'We all know choosing the right anti-aging product is a trial and error, hit or miss, some things work and some don't,' she said in Neutrogena's statement.
'But at this point in my life, I am looking for something that simply works.'
Kidman added that she was especially excited to join a team of ambassadors that includes actresses Kerry Washington, Jennifer Garner and Hayden Panettiere.
The actress, whose first commercial for Neutrogena will premiere during the Academy Awards on February 25, is clearly not slowing down.
But when it comes to her skin, it seems Kidman has discovered how to halt time.
