Lindsay Lohan Reveals Her Beauty Secrets and Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors
Lindsay Lohan has revealed how she achieves her highly talked-about ageless complexion — and it's not because she went under the knife. In an interview with Elle, conducted by Saturday Night Live cast member Chloe Fineman, Lohan, 38, broke down her beauty routine, which seemingly starts from the inside out. 'I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water,' she shared in the interview published on Tuesday, May 27. 'I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything.' The former child star, who is developing her own beauty line, said she's been testing her products in her routine. 'My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing — I'm testing them,' she remarked. 'Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning.' The Freaky Friday actress also shared insight into her cosmetic treatments, telling the 36-year-old comedian, 'everyone does Botox,' and that she was 'into lasers.' 'There's a new at-home one [laser] I saw that Julianne Moore was using that looked really good,' she stated. 'It's good for around your mouth. I've heard it all.' Lohan added that she tried a skin treatment called 'Morpheus8' but didn't stick with it, telling Fineman, 'I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that.' Lohan noted that after giving birth to her son, Luai, in 2023, her skin 'changed,' which served as the catalyst for her wellness journey. 'It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything,' she recalled. 'I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me.' In regards to whether she had gotten major plastic surgery, Lohan commented, 'I'm like, when? With what time? Where?' Additionally, Lohan sees a professional when it comes to her skin. Dubai-based dermatologist Dr. Radmila Lukian posted a selfie on Instagram with Lohan in December 2024 at her office, captioning the post, 'Trust and confidence are the foundation of our relationship @lindsaylohan.'
