Thandie Newton "loves" her basic skincare regime.

The British actress - who is the face of the Olay Total Effects range - admits looking after her skin is a simple procedure and she has used moisturiser since she was very young thanks to her mother's influence.

She said: "As soon as I was old enough to understand about moisturiser, my mum plunged a bottle into my hand.

"It's taught me to love treating my skin well - I love putting the same care into my skin as I would my body. My skincare regime is simple: good food and lots of moisturiser. Olay Total Effects is usually all I need."

The 38-year-old star plans to dish out the good advice to her own daughters Ripley, 10, and Nico, six, when they are old enough, urging them to treat their bodies with respect.

She told Stylist magazine: "I will tell my daughters, just as my mother told me, to treat yourself as a holistic entity: respect your body and you will be beautiful and celebrate that with a bit of glitter."

Discussing her opinion of make-up, Thandie believes is should be worn as an "accessory".

She said: "I think of make-up as an accessory, just as jewellery would be.

It's a way to accentuate the attributes you already have, after all."
