1. Balanced Life

Witherspoon tries to live a balanced life, with space for indulgences. “I do think it all goes together—you know, getting enough sleep, eating well,” she says. “I eat well the majority of the week, so I think that has a lot to do with it. One day a week, I get my cheat day, where I eat as much cake and pizza as I want, but I try to be pretty healthy the rest of the time. Exercise is a big piece and drinking a lot of water. I try not to drink too much coffee, but sometimes, I drink too much coffee. But then, you know, as far as skin care is concerned, just really making sure I'm cleaning and washing my face twice a day, particularly on heavy-makeup days, and moisturizing and adding all the serums, because they really do make a big difference.”

2. Serious About Skincare

Witherspoon takes her skincare very seriously. “Skincare has been a huge part of my life for 30 years, being on camera so much and making sure that I have a good base for makeup,” she says. “Cameras are sometimes about five inches from my face. How the texture of my skin looks and taking care of it is so important, so it's really a process for me.”

3. Beauty Advice

Witherspoon has good advice for her daughter when it comes to skincare and beauty. “Well, Ava's so into beauty. She just has always loved it, even as a little girl,” she says. “She watched YouTube videos, and she can do her own makeup so beautifully. So it's really fun to watch her do it. She teaches me a lot of stuff. I definitely get a lot of tips from her. She has a different skin type than me, though, so she likes completely different products. I believe just the importance of taking off your makeup every night, moisturizing your skin, and sunscreen! It really accumulates—what you do to your skin when you're 18 shows up on your face when you're 40.”

4. Skincare Collaboration

Witherspoon partnered with skincare brand Biossance after trying their products. “They were finding biotech solutions to these problems and creating sustainable products in very ethical ways by using sugarcane and not harming the environment,” she says. “Also, women haven't always been at the forefront of talking about how products are made. Seeing this company that was so female forward and so environmentally forward was really encouraging and I was excited to be part of the Biossance family because of it.”

5. Nighttime Routine

Witherspoon is all about quiet comfort and relaxation in the evenings. “My sweats go on the minute I come home,” she says. “Bra off, sweats on. I usually read about 30 minutes to an hour every night, and that just relaxes me. I listen to, like, relaxing music that really sets the mood for bed. It's either, like, scrolling through TikTok or reading a book, and I find reading a book much more beneficial for my mental health. Reading really is like a relaxation technique for me. It takes me to another place. I'm thinking about these characters. I get very immersed in their world. And everything else kind of fades away.”

Reese Witherspoon, the actress, producer, and entrepreneur, is enjoying the summer with her family. (In between premieres of the movie she produced, Where the Crawdads Sing, and the show she produced, Surface, that is.) She just posted a bunch of highlights on her Instagram. In two of the photos, Witherspoon sported some stunning swimsuits, one pink and white plaid, and a plain black one. She captioned the post, “Summer pic buffet.” Read on to see 5 ways Reese Witherspoon stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

Witherspoon has amazing skin, and she makes sure to use products that help keep it healthy. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she loves clean beauty products. "I started looking for clean beauty solutions probably like a year and a half ago," Witherspoon says. "I was in my hometown Sephora and was looking at the Biossance products. It has such great reviews, and somebody mentioned it to me so I bought a bunch. I just started using them. And I found them so effective, completely luxurious, unlike any other clean product I've ever used. And I was just hooked."

1. She Takes Daily Walks

Reese prioritizes daily walks for a little exercise. It’s inexpensive, gives her fresh air, and helps her with her physical and mental health. According to thechalkboardmag.com, she even started a run club, admittedly more of a walking club, to keep her focused. "Physical activity, such as walking, is important for weight control because it helps you burn calories. If you add 30 minutes of brisk walking to your daily routine, you could burn about 150 more calories a day. Of course, the more you walk and the quicker your pace, the more calories you'll burn," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Spends Time in Nature

Taking things a step further, Reese will often set out into the woods to go on a more intense hike when she wants to challenge herself. The different terrain can be beneficial for various muscles in your body. It’s something you can do alone to clear your mind or with some friends to catch up and socialize.

3. She Stretches and Foam Rolls

Witherspoon does a series of floor stretches with her foam roller to make sure that her muscles are kept in tip top shape. There are a lot of benefits to foam rolling, essentially giving yourself a deep tissue massage, working out the muscles. Try a foam roller on yoru upper back, says the Mayo Clinic:

"1. Lie on your back and place a foam roller underneath your mid-back. 2. Lift your hips off the oor and place your hands behind your ears to open your chest. 3. Slowly push through your heels to move yourself back and forth from your mid-back to the top of your shoulder blades. 4. Keep your spine and head aligned in a neutral position. 5. When you nd a sore spot, stop and hold the position for at least 30 seconds until you can feel the muscle relax."

4. She Connects With Her Fans For Support

Just like any normal person, Reese can use support sometimes. She even started a workout challenge on the treadmill to avoid running otuside in the cold where she did a series of intervals. Usually focusing on a book club with her fans, back in December she encouraged them to set monthly activity goals with her.

5. She Still Has Fun

Reese seems to have a really good surrounding support system of friends and family and she loves hosting pool parties and get togethers. At those parties, she’ll sometimes relax a little with some of her favorite southern foods. That could include fried chicken, fried okra, squash casserole, and more. She doesn’t deprive herself, but loves to include veggies. Everything in moderation, if she indulges one day she also really loves green smoothies and veggie packed meals. It’s about balance.
