Pharrell Williams has revealed the secret to his eternally youthful skin.
The former N.E.R.D. singer turned 51 in April and has spent years renowned for his young look. Williams has now told how one simple beauty treatment is key for him to fighting wrinkles.
“Believe it or not, exfoliation, man. Exfoliation is the key,” he told People when asked for his beauty secret.
But 13-time Grammy winner Williams added it wasn’t quite as simple as scrubbing his face.
“Now, there is a routine, and you can find them online, but I think probably the most active portion of it all … no, it’s two,” Williams suggested.
“It’s exfoliating, but it’s also in here. It’s literally in here. That inner child – don’t ever silence it,” the “Happy” singer stated. “Don’t ever [say], ‘Oh, I can’t do this anymore.’ No. That’s why you should absolutely do it right now. The people who want to put you in a box? They tried to do that to me, too, and here we are.”
Williams spoke about his new documentary Piece by Piece , currently playing in cinemas after being released on Oct. 11. Directed by Morgan Neville, Williams refused to make it a standard behind-the-scenes music biopic. Instead, he decided to build the story of his life piece by piece, telling the entire story with animated LEGO characters.
“[My agent] was like, ‘Why don’t you just look at the [Lady] Gaga one [Gaga: Five Foot Two]. I mean, look how she did it.’ I’m, like, ‘Okay, cool,’ ” Williams recalled. “And I saw it, and that was one of the things I was most impressed with when I did see it. I was like, ‘Oh, I saw her fingerprints all over this.’ ”
“But my first condition for doing one was I want to do it with Morgan Neville … [and] I said, ‘But I want to do it in LEGO,’ ” Williams said about being persuaded to do a documentary.
