1. She Never Goes Without Sunscreen
Sofia is diligent when it comes to skincare. She told NewBeauty, "I take care of my skin religiously. I never skip sunscreen. I'm obsessed with hydration, and I believe in using real, effective skin care backed by science. At the end of the day, I just want to feel good in my skin for as long as possible."
The star's biggest non-negotiable skincare product? Sunscreen. She added, "I've always been consistent with my approach to self-care … daily sunscreen is my non-negotiable. I've been diligent about this since I was younger."
The celeb found her favorite sunscreen in Spain. "I walked into a pharmacy and found this sunscreen that combined high SPF with makeup. I tried it and thought: 'This is it! This is my new beauty holy grail.' From that moment on, it became my daily must-have. It protected my skin and made me look good," she said.
Sofia loved the sunscreen so much, in fact, that it inspired her to develop her own similar brand to market. Toty is Sofia's line of "hybrid beauty products that do the job and make your life easier." Its a combination of SPF, makeup, and high-performance skincare in one.

2. She Focuses on Prevention
Sofia's skincare focus is all about prevention. The star told New Beauty, "I believe, more than fixing anything, in preventing. Once you get the wrinkle, once you get the sagging neck, that's it. There's no cream that is going to fix you. So, prevention, prevention, prevention!"
3. She Keeps Her Skincare Routine "Very Simple"
It's easy to see Sofia has beautiful skin to work with! But she's diligent in caring for what she has. As a rule, Sofia uses self-care routine products that are ultra simple. She has rosacea, which is a skin sensitivity that causes redness.
"I used to do masks and scrubs and rubs and things—I mean, I'm crazy about products—but I've had to simplify as I've gotten older. I have rosacea—it's redness and sensitivity. If you put on too much stuff, there is irritation," Sofia told Health (via Prevention).
