Nicole Kidman shares lifelong sun protection beauty secret

Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has shared that her long-standing beauty routine centers on sun protection, a habit taught to her by her mother. Growing up in Australia near the coast, Kidman had to be particularly careful with her fair skin.

Kidman admitted that as a child, she disliked her light complexion because it limited her ability to participate in activities like other children without applying heavy amounts of zinc cream. However, her perspective has shifted over her four-decade career. She now views her fair skin as a unique characteristic that she appreciates, noting that it ‘looks very beautiful on camera.’
