Nina Dobrev Used to Make This Brat-Coded Beauty Mistake Before Bed Every Night

Don't worry, she's now officially in her Clean Girl era.

Another year older is another year wiser—at least that's how Nina Dobrev sees it when it comes to the evolution of her beauty routine. In a new interview with People at the Shiseido Blue Project's fourth annual beach clean-up event, the Vampire Diaries actress revealed how her skincare has changed over the years and the Brat-coded mistake she used to make before bed each night. 

"I wash my face a lot more," Dobrev said. "I used to sleep with my makeup on when I was in my early 20s." She continued, "In my 30s, I've obviously gotten a lot more strict about making sure to wash my face and taking off my makeup every night, using amazing products, like Shiseido, and just keeping the moisture in the skin. That's the biggest one, probably."

Another major adjustment Dobrev has made to her daily routine is wearing sunscreen. "When I was younger, I definitely was not as aware [of using SPF] because I have an olive complexion and I don't burn that easily," she explained, adding that a lot of her friends "are very fair-skinned" and "would burn so quick" while in the sun, prompting her to want to protect her own skin.  

"As I've gotten older, I [use SPF] for vanity reasons, for cancer reasons, for all kinds of reasons," Dobrev said. "I always put SPF on. It's the first thing I do after my moisturizer, and then I apply my makeup on, and sometimes I even use a sunscreen spray afterward, throughout the day."
