Kendall Jenner Embraces Graceful Aging with a Straightforward Skincare Routine
Last week, just moments before a scheduled Zoom interview with Kendall Jenner, I found myself staring at my reflection. A fresh gray hair had emerged and refused to stay hidden under my slicked‑back ponytail, no matter how much gel I used. The distraction made me late, and after apologizing I admitted what had been on my mind. “I have some grays that have been multiplying rapidly, and while I’m covering them up right now, one day I’m not going to be able to,” Jenner said. Her view on aging is simple: “I love to see a woman with her crow’s‑feet or a laugh line. Some of the most beautiful women in the world have just aged gracefully.”
The model, who has spoken openly about battling acne and managing anxiety with positive self‑talk, ties a solid skincare routine to both mental well‑being and the natural beauty of growing older. “I’m looking to keep my skin as youthful as possible by using certain products that keep it hydrated and plump,” she explained, adding that Anua’s PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream has become a cornerstone of her regimen after she was announced as the brand’s face earlier this year. “I’m down for all the new discoveries around anti‑aging, but it’s always going to be on the natural side for me. I love seeing a woman age gracefully, just letting her skin do its thing,” she added.
Jenner’s skin receives additional support from the PDRN line. PDRN, short for polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a cutting‑edge ingredient that has emerged from Korea’s vibrant beauty industry. In a previous Vogue piece, board‑certified facial plastic surgeon Babak Azizzadeh, MD, explained that in clinical and experimental settings the ingredient is believed to activate adenosine A2A receptors, helping calm inflammation, stimulate new blood‑vessel formation, and support the skin’s natural healing and collagen renewal processes.
“Although I don’t struggle with my acne as much as I used to, I’m still conscious of using products that feel like they won’t break me out while hydrating,” Jenner said, noting she has had no adverse reactions to Anua’s formula. “I like the glowy, anti‑aging component of these products.”
When it comes to travel, Jenner shared a somewhat controversial habit. “I am super pro‑face mask at the end of a flight, for sure,” she told me. “I think, why not? It makes me feel way more hydrated, so why not?” She believes a quick mask can help maintain that coveted glow during long trips.
Anua PDRN Moisturizing Cream is currently listed at $27, with a discounted price of $24 (11 % off) on Amazon.
