Simone Ashley is an actress. She's best known for her role on the Netflix series' Sex Education and Bridgerton. Ashley recently enjoyed a day at the lake, and shared some photos on her Instagram story. In one, she walked into the water. In another, she held her dog in her arms. In the last one, Ashley lied on her towel. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Simone Ashley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
She's All About Hydration
Ashley has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Vogue. "Stay hydrated," Ashley said. "You work long days with all the wigs, costumes, and makeup, so staying hydrated is key. I also like to steam my face at the end of the day—it's a good way to clear the skin out."
She Protects Her Skin From The Sun

Another of Ashley's skincare tips is protecting it from the sun. "It's really important to protect your skin from the sun," she said in her Vogue interview. "I love using L'Oréal's Bright Reveal SPF 50—it leaves no white cast, it's really light and not oily, and it works really well under makeup. So if there's an event or something that I want to go to, I can wear it under makeup, but also day to day, too. After Cannes, I'm going to take a break where there will, hopefully, be lots of sun and I'll definitely pack my SPF 50."
She Takes Care Of Her Hair

Ashley also shared her haircare secrets with Vogue. "I try to use minimal heat on my hair when I'm working—but sometimes it can't be avoided. I also try to eat a really healthy diet; I eat a lot of protein. There are lots of ways to get your nutrients in and I would say that diet is a big thing for healthy hair. I have also fallen in love with L'Oréal's Elvive [editor's note: In the US, try the Water Rinse for something equivalent]. I sometimes put it on when I'm in the sauna and then sit on my phone for five minutes. It makes my hair smell so good and the ends feel really glossy and hydrated… and it looks super shiny and healthy."
She Does Pilates

Ashley loves to do Pilates to stay in shape. She talked about this to Vogue. "For Pilates, I go to the Alo studios when I'm in the States and it's one of the best workouts I've done in my life. Laura Quinn is one of my trainers there, and she's changed the game for me in terms of how hard I can push my body. It's a very mindful and thoughtful exercise— sometimes it's the minimal movements that are the most powerful. For women, it's great because it connects you to your pelvic floor, plus it gives you a full awareness of your body. Whenever I've got lots of press coming up, or a red carpet, if I work out lots, I feel less depressed and generally happier. And I feel like the best version of myself."
She Goes To Spoken Therapy

In a different interview with Vogue, Ashley shared some of her wellness secrets. "If you have the means to be able to go to spoken therapy, that's a form of wellness that I would highly recommend to anyone, especially young people," she said. "Actually, scratch that, to anyone! It helps you to understand yourself more and gives you the tools to be able to relate and communicate with others, and it's something that can really create a lot of space within yourself."
