Lucy Hale in Workout Gear Shares Mirror Selfie

Lucy Hale is an actress and singer. She’s best known for her role as Aria Montgomery on the ABC Family/Freeform drama series, Pretty Little Liars. Her other roles include Katy Keane and A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song. Hale recently hit the gym with some friends. She shared a photo of the group on her Instagram story. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lucy Hale stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Eats Healthy

Hale shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with People. She makes sure to eat healthy. “I mainly follow a pescatarian diet,” Hale says. “I don’t even like to say diet, just a pescatarian lifestyle. I don’t do dairy and I try to cut back on processed stuff. I typically like to prepare all my food so I know what I’m getting.”

2. She Knows What Works For Her Skin

Hale shared her skincare secrets in an interview with Glamour. She says that she made sure to do research on what works best for her skin. “I didn’t know that I wasn’t supposed to use the products that people with dry skin would use,” she says. “I wanted to use everything, so I’d just use all the products, not knowing I was going to have a reaction. Now I know I have combination skin, which is oily in some parts and dry in some parts, and that’s what leads to the breakouts.”

3. She Has A Simple Skincare Routine

For Hale, simplicity is best when it comes to her skincare routine. “I used to have a 20-step skin-care routine, and I loved that,” she told Glamour. “But now, simple and consistent is the way to go. I have a very, very, very simple routine. It’s just about letting my skin breathe when I can. I used to think because I would break out that I shouldn’t add more moisture, but when your skin’s dry, it’s going to try to take care of you and produce more oil, and that’s what leads to breakouts.”

4. She Uses Hyaluronic Acid

Hale shared some of her favorite skincare products with Glamour. “I love hyaluronic acid, always, always, always, but I didn’t realize it needs to be used on damp skin. Otherwise it doesn’t seep into the skin. Now I put it on right after the shower. With other products, I’ll avoid certain places. I put certain things here, certain things there. But with hyaluronic acid, I know that it’s good for my whole face.”

5. She Drinks A Wellness Powder

Hale shared with Glamour that she likes to drink wellness powder. “I have a wellness powder that I have in the morning before anything else touches my stomach, before coffee or breakfast. It’s from ActivatedYou. My friend Maggie Q. actually started the line with a doctor. It’s a green powder with all the pro- and prebiotics that you need for the day. I also was not educated about gut health until recently. I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that what you’re putting in your stomach has a direct effect with your body, but it does. I’ve really noticed a difference in my skin. I used to get really clogged around here, like on my jawline, and since I started that in my morning routine, it’s really helped.”
