Thandie Newton "never cleanses" her face in the morning as she does not think it is best for her to put on too many products first thing.

Thandie Newton "never cleanses" her face in the morning.

The 'Crash' actress - who has children Ripley, 11 and Nico, seven - believes the human body is "clever" and does not think it is best for her to put on too many products on in the morning.

She said: "In the morning I never cleanse. I just splash my face with water and pat it dry. I honestly think that the human body is a clever thing and that the natural oils my skin produces are best for it.

"Then I apply a dab of rouge and I'm off. When I am a mum on the school run I don't wear make-up at all."

The 39-year-old beauty also believes the mantra less is more is how to approach putting on make-up.

She said: "For me, less is more. All I really want is to accentuate my good points and have a really healthy glow."
