For her role as Niobe in "The Matrix Resurrections," Jada Pinkett Smith had to spend about five hours having prosthetics and makeup applied to make her look far older than she really is. The actor shared a sped-up look at the entire process on Instagram. Afterward, she revealed that she used an intensive skincare ritual to replenish and rejuvenate her skin. "Here is one of my skin restarter routines that I use after wearing makeup everyday on shoots and so forth," Pinkett Smith wrote on YouTube, revealing that she goes through the entire process a few times a year.

In the video, viewers can admire Pinkett Smith's makeup-free face as she demonstrates how she maintains her youthful glow. She begins by filling a bowl with piping hot water, placing her face over it and covering her head with a towel to give her pores a deep steaming. Next, she washes her face with a gentle cleanser and a wash cloth. After a second steam sesh, she uses a microdermabrasion machine to slough away dead skin, gently washes her eye area with baby soap, and applies a pore cleanser/mask. After a third steam, she slathers on a homemade mask made from avocado and honey. A final steam is followed by the layering of her retinol serum, moisturizers, and face oil. "The beauty regimen is not a game," Pinkett Smith said in an Instagram video.
