The night is dark and full of terrors, namely: crow’s-feet, age spots and receding hairlines.

So…how does Game of Thrones’s Melisandre get her skin looking so good? She’s like, 4,000 years old. It’s either a ten-plus-step Korean beauty routine…or truly massive amounts of retinol.

Get ready to take notes: If the Red Woman had a skin-care routine, it would probably be this.

Nordstrom

For That glow: Vintner's Daughter

If you know, you just know. (And Melisandre knows.)

BUY IT ($185)

Dermstore

For Ironing Out Wrinkles: Retinol

We’re led to believe that Melisandre walked into her derm’s office and asked for the strongest retinol they can prescribe, then proceeded to bathe in it.

BUY IT ($82)

Dermstore

For That Chiseled Jawline: Nuface

When she’s not raising people from the dead, she’s microcurrenting her face to oblivion.

BUY IT ($325)

Nordstrom

For Moisture: Creme De La Mer

Winter can be sooo drying for the complexion.

BUY IT ($175)

Dermstore

For Those Luscious Locks: Viviscal

Wig? You’ve gotta be joking.

BUY IT ($50)

Add to all this a high SPF sunscreen, some of that chalky collagen drink powder, microneedling (pain is beauty) and probably also a lash serum. And more retinol. Always more retinol.
