Cline makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared some of her tips to Vogue. One thing Cline makes sure to do is help remove acne. In particular, she applies a cleanser with a brush before rubbing it in. “It just makes me feel like it's actually good for my pores,” she explains. “I have noticed a difference in the amount of blackheads I’m getting.”

2. She Overcame Her Body Image Issues

In 2020, Cline revealed her struggles with body image and disordered eating to Women’s Health. She says that her mom helped her cultivate a better image of herself, which helped her overcome this. "My mom was a wonderful help in that. She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body. After that repetition those things became solidified in my mind. I like my curves, I like my hips, and after a while I started to love my body. I became so much happier."

3. She Saves Her Energy

Cline tells TODAY that she likes to manage her energy. For this reason, she keeps her social circle small. “If you give everything — like, 100% of your energy — away, where’s the rest for yourself? You finally understand why people in the public eye keep their circles small. I realized there are parts of my life that only me or one other person are entitled to. I prefer it that way. It also just makes things more special. That’s usually how relationships are.”

4. She Takes Things Day By Day

Cline tells TODAY that when it comes to wellness, she takes things day-by-day. “I can feel myself slipping sometimes into calorie counting or whatever, and I have to pull myself back from that,” she says. “Having a deeply personal relationship like that with yourself and body, being objectified, it almost puts a flashlight on it. It's a deeply personal relationship, and it’s a day-in, day-out thing. It’s not like, ‘OK, fixed it. We're good today. It’s going to be great every day onward.’ It’s an ongoing journey.”

5. She Focuses On Herself

Cline tells TODAY that she doesn’t want to put herself on a diet. Rather, she focuses on what she wants to do to make herself feel better. “The main goal is staying healthy. And healthy doesn’t necessarily always look like eating kale. It just means you’re feeding your body, and you’re giving your body what it needs. My journey with my body got a lot healthier when I started to acknowledge and be thankful for what it puts me through.”

1. Low-Key Beauty

Bailey says her role on Outer Banks inspired a different approach to beauty. "I wear a lot less makeup than I did before the show," she says. "That definitely changed the way I view makeup. I'm more into a natural, glowy look versus a full face. It made me more comfortable in my own skin. I feel a lot more naturally beautiful than I ever have."

2. Dreaming of Cher

Bailey is passionate about any female-driven storylines. “Honestly, my dream role would be if they remade Burlesque. Me and Cher, oh my God,” she says. “At the end of my career, I want the list of things I haven’t done to be very small. I like so many different movies myself. I am a watcher of many genres, whether it’s Burlesque or if they did a modern black-and-white spy movie…I hope people can watch one movie that I’m in and cry and watch one movie that I’m in and laugh and then be terrified — I want to tell all of the stories.”

3. Skincare Style

Bailey is a proud face of Fenty Beauty. “My skin is usually pretty in the middle—not too oily or too dry,” she says. “For the most part, my skin stays clear, but if I’m breaking out, it’s typically either from traveling or it’s that time of the month. I usually gotta up my skincare routine when I’m traveling and always make sure to bring a variety of products with me. In general, my skin priorities are having an even tone and keeping my skin hydrated. I feel like that’s the key.”

4. Social Media Star

Bailey has a huge following on social media, which she says is a double-edged sword. “The best part is I feel like I can interact with people at any moment,” she says. “The other day I got on Live just to talk to people and let them get to know me more. I plan on being solely an actress and I feel like that’s my platform for people to get to know who I am in my private life. I don’t mind getting personal. I’m an open book 90 percent of the time. I’d say the worst part about the following is the other 10 percent of that time, when I want privacy. It brings me a lot of anxiety at random times.”

5. SPF Every Day

Bailey’s skincare regimen is simple yet effective. “My skincare routine has definitely evolved since I started getting into it—lots of trial and error,” she says. “I’d say one of my biggest mistakes was using harsh exfoliants and using them too often. Now, I use way gentler products overall. Another thing is that I, like a lot of other people, underestimated the importance of applying sunscreen daily. I do [apply it daily] now.”

Madelyn Cline is a very successful actress and style icon. She is best known for her roles in Outer Banks and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. At the beginning of the month, Cline shared a throwback photo on Instagram from Outer Banks. In it, she wore a black tank top and gray sweatpants. She captioned the post, “This is not a 5 years of obx post (yes it is) @obx love you.” How does she stay so fit?

3. She Keeps Her Skin Hydrated

Cline makes sure to keep her skin hydrated. She tells Glamour that she makes sure to pick a lot of products that do so. “One of my beauty rules is to always stay moisturized, which is why I love Revlon Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation. It's incredibly nourishing and I don't feel like I'm cracking at the end of the day or it's separating. I still feel like I'm taking care of my skin while I'm wearing it.”

4. She Stays Hydrated

Cline tells Glamour that one of her wellness goals is keeping herself hydrated. “Also, water. So much water. I need to do better. I've invested in some new Hydro Flasks, so I'm going to be trying to drink much more water than I have been." The Mayo Clinic states that drinking water is necessary. “Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. For example, water: Gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements. Keeps your temperature normal. Lubricates and cushions joints. Protects sensitive tissues.”

5. She Horseback Rides

In an interview with Vogue, Cline revealed that she likes to horseback ride. The American Heart Association states that riding has a lot of health benefits. “Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories,” said Dr. Dennis Sigler, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University in College Station. “If you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period.”

1. She Didn’t Give Up

Acting is a difficult career to pursue, and Cline tells Glamour that it was difficult for her to find success at first. However, Cline says that she decided to stick with it and didn’t give up, no matter how hard things got for her. “LA is a harsh city to be in when you're a little girl from the South, and you have absolutely no idea what you're doing and you are thinking, ‘Am I making, have I made a massive mistake? I don't have money to move back home. My parents are not on board with this. What do I do?’ But you have to convince yourself that, you genuinely have to believe that it's, ‘when,’ not, ‘if.’”

2. She’s Recovering From An Eating Disorder

Cline opened up about her struggles with eating disorders in an interview with Women’s Health. "I think I was around 16 when I started working out a lot," she said. "I would wake up every morning at 5 a.m. and I would work out for 30 minutes. It was super rigorous cardio every day. It turned into not feeding myself protein and not feeding my body what it needed when I was working out so much. I worked out multiple times during the day. All I knew was I wasn't achieving a particular body image, and so I was angry. I was harming myself and starving myself in the process of trying to achieve that." Cline says that she is working on her recovery from her eating disorder.

3. She Practices Self-Love

Cline tells Women’s Health that one of the ways she recovered from her eating disorder was practicing self-love. She says that her mother would do positive affirmation exercises with her. “She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body," Cline explained. "After that repetition those things became solidified in my mind. I like my curves, I like my hips, and after a while I started to love my body. I became so much happier."

4. She Followed Her Gut

Cline decided to drop out of college and move to LA to pursue acting. She tells Glamour that this was a risky decision, but she wanted to follow her gut. "I called my mom and said ... 'I know this is what you guys want me to do, but it's not what I want to do, so I'm going to drop out and I'm going to move out to LA and I don't need help, but I just would wish for your support,'" Cline said. "It was difficult, but we wouldn't be sitting here right now had I not followed my gut.”

5. She Relates To Her Character

Cline plays the character of Sarah on the drama series Outer Banks. She tells Glamour that she really relates to the character, and that playing her has helped with her real life. “There are a lot of lessons I feel Sarah learns in the first season about finding her voice when she feels something isn't right, going against the grain and standing up for what she believes in, versus what she's told to believe in. That's something that I definitely can relate to. When I moved out to L.A., I learned a lot about myself and I learned to find my voice, and so I rediscovered that in Sarah.”
