Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are known for their tough-guy roles as Deadpool and Wolverine, but there’s more to them than meets the eye, believe it or not, they also prioritize their skincare. Thanks to a reportedly meticulous 10-step routine that Jackman introduced to Reynolds, both actors maintain not only their rugged exteriors but also enviable skin.
Now people understand that when Blake Lively humorously remarked about Ryan Reynolds spending more time perfecting his reflection, possibly even more than she does, it wasn’t all lies!
Ryan Reynolds’ Secret to Flawless Skin Was Taught to Him by Hugh Jackman
Behind the scenes, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman aren’t just perfecting their roles and lines, they’re also serious about skincare. They reportedly follow a strict 10-step routine to keep their skin looking top-notch.
Despite their on-screen rivalry, off-screen they’re best buds who swap beauty secrets. According to an insider speaking to Life and Style magazine, these two Hollywood stars are as dedicated to their skincare as they are to their acting careers. The insider revealed,
They’re both really into their appearances and love to trade tips on everything from skincare to hair products, to the best dermatologists and masseuses.–it’s a huge part of their career longevity so they have every reason to want to stay looking as young as possible and have no qualms about it. Blake [Lively] always jokes that [husband] Ryan spends more time in front of the mirror than she does, but it’s not all that far from the truth–10-step skincare regime he does day and night and it was Hugh, 55, who introduced him to it.
Reynolds has previously divulged his beauty secrets to Vogue, emphasizing that his face is crucial for his career. However, maintaining flawless skin isn’t always easy, especially when he has to endure wearing prosthetics for roles. He explained,
They rip up your face as they’re coming off. So, I basically do whatever the lead artists tell me to do, including using this special moisturizer meant for burns. It’s a bit more intense. I work in showbiz, so I should go next level and have some really extensive, nuanced routine, but besides that, I don’t.
He also added that doesn’t mean he denounces aging, he said,
In terms of aging gracefully, I never bemoan a birthday. We all want to be old people at one point, so you may as well enjoy getting there. I think it’s sexy to embrace [aging], rather than combat it.
People are thrilled to see the duo on the screens in just a few days in the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds is undeniably a heartthrob, captivating not only women but straight men as well. He’s got that magic touch. There’s a running joke that boyfriends would pick Reynolds over their girlfriends any day, and perhaps his 10-step skincare routine has something to do with it.
Besides that, with his cheeky grin, chiseled jawline, and a Deadpool wit sharper than his sword, Ryan Reynolds has somehow become the ultimate pick for a demographic that isn’t a teen or tween. What’s his secret sauce? According to a 2022 CelebrityInsights (via Medium) poll, a staggering 60% of straight guys confessed to harboring a “bromantic soft spot” for Reynolds.
In a time when discussions about toxic masculinity are everywhere, Reynolds stands out as the poster boy for non-threatening, healthy masculinity. His humor, ability to laugh at himself, and down-to-earth vibe paint a picture of a guy who’s as comfortable in his own skin as he is making guys wish they had his charm.
