When you’re a globe-trotting, world-famous actress and musician, finding balance can be tricky. For Oscar-nominated Hailee Steinfeld, wellness is a priority. “For me, it’s about staying hydrated and working out,” she says. “I feel like working out keeps me sane. Whether it’s for 15 minutes or an hour, I can never describe how amazing I feel afterwards, having challenged myself mentally and physically and having made the conscious effort to do something for myself.”
As an ambassador for Core Hydration, Hailee says she was drawn to the company because she couldn’t get enough of the electrolyte- and mineral-packed water. “I love when something comes about and feels so genuine and so aligned, and that has been the case since day one with Core,” Steinfeld says. “This partnership has been an incredible reminder that wellness is different for everyone — it’s whatever works for you. It can be anything. It’s not one size fits all!”
Case in point: Steinfeld counts circuit training, Pilates and dance among her favorite ways to release endorphins. “Even if it means throwing on some music and dancing around while you clean the kitchen, it sets the tone for the day.”
While most of her schedule is jam-packed with work engagements, Steinfeld does manage to carve out time for chilling out too. “When I come home after a long day, I love to just decompress, put the phone away, put some music on and have my little dogs with me. They are instant stress relievers,” she says. “I just think less is more when it comes to winding down. Sometimes, I like sitting in silence and reflecting on the day or just giving myself a chance to get my thoughts in order.”
Below, Steinfeld shares the products she’s most obsessed with right now.
“I love doing my own makeup [and] typically opt for a natural and super-simple look,” Steinfeld says. “Recently I’ve been loving all things Makeup by Mario, especially his SurrealSkin Foundation. It gives you the most beautiful coverage that looks like it’s just enhancing your skin and complexion.” Steinfeld, who considers the foundation a makeup-bag essential, also likes that it’s “super breathable and perfect for long days.”
Vegan and smudge-proof, Tower 28’s mascara is always in Steinfeld's makeup bag. “I’m obsessed with this mascara — when you find a good one, you gotta run with it,” she says. “I love that it’s buildable. You can do a simple light application, or you can achieve the look of false lashes.”
We love a good hair tip, especially when it's from a hair icon like Steinfeld! “I genuinely believe these scrunchies are essential to achieving and maintaining healthy hair,” she says. “I always have a few of these silk scrunchies with me, in my purse, makeup bag, bathroom, etc. I won’t use anything else when I need to throw my hair up.” Designed to avoid hair creases, these Slip scrunchies are made from mulberry silk and come in multiple colorways.
“The Victoria shades have been a go-to for me,” says Steinfeld, who co-founded the brand. “I love the shape. I love how fitting they are for anything that I throw on. They can be a piece that completes a look, or they can be the statement piece of a look. I don’t leave the house without them!”
Purified by reverse osmosis, Core water is also brimming with electrolytes and minerals. “It’s so good! I love this water,” Steinfeld says. “And I love nothing more than opening my fridge to a fully stocked Core water dream.”
“I love throwing these bars in my bag to have on the go for a quick energy boost packed with protein,” Steinfeld says. “These are so delicious! I’m actually obsessed with them and always have them on hand.” Each bar is vegan, gluten-free and soy-free, and packed with 10 grams of plant protein.
How does Steinfeld make her house hygge? With this candle brand! “This Terminal B candle is my latest obsession,” she says. “I have a few throughout my house, and they’re always burning when I’m home. It’s the most luxurious scent that makes any room extra cozy.” Named after airports, these candles are 10 ounces, have a 60-hour burn time and boast scents their namesake cities are known for.
