If Melisandre from ‘Game of Thrones’ Had a Skin-Care Routine, It Would Probably Be This One

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.

For That *glow*: Vintner's Daughter

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

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.

For That Chiseled Jawline: Nuface

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

For Moisture: Creme De La Mer

Winter can be sooo drying for the complexion.

Wig? You’ve gotta be joking.

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.
