[@jennys.2440]

Honestly, I do think money plays a role in celebrities looking great, but so does genetics, your skincare routine and your mental health, how you take care of yourself! Because there are very rich people who look unhealthy and miserable, and then there are people (both wealthy and not wealthy at all) who look young and have that youthful, positive energy, Usher is definitely one of them.

Love that he takes care of himself. Pretty much all of the products he used can be found in walmart or sephora, so they are attainable for the average person.

Correct. Consistency is the key!

[@crystalblive]

Usher has always been gorgeous. While I know it’s a goal to preserve youth, I hope the pressure to not age doesn’t become a thing to the point of him not looking like himself. He’s been a fox, but if he wakes up tomorrow and decides to be a sliver fox-I’m here for it!

[@xoaliciarose]

The thought of him as a silver fox!!! Swoooon! But you can also tell he hasn’t messed with his face because most celebrities would’ve gotten at least forehead Botox by now. And he has a few natural wrinkles that I love.

[@viviennewolf9181]

His routine was great and concise; cleanse, treat, moisturize & sun protection(was missing). If I could give him one advice it would be sunscreen. There are many light weight sunscreens that don't have any white cast. Everyone should wear sunscreen because whether you are using affordable or expensive products it won't matter or be 100% beneficial without sunscreen.

[@PM-yc1rf]

He is BLACK that the reason why sunscreen is non exitant in his routine.

[@madgemackles4337]

@@PM-yc1rfwe need it too love

[@bibimbap5917]

​@@PM-yc1rfit's a myth that black or brown people don't need sunscreen. Please don't fall for it. Yes we are less prone to getting sunburn but we can still get cancers and sun damage. Better aafe than sorry y'all

[@bibimbap5917]

He's not wearing sunscreen probably because it's evening time? They wrote in the description it's a preshow ritual not a morning routine. Not sure though just guessing
