If you’re looking to achieve a flawless and youthful complexion like Nicola Coughlan, we’ve got the low-down of her skincare routine. The Bridgerton star recently unveiled her 3-step nighttime routine, which included a series of Tatcha products.
We are all well aware that one of the hottest series right now is Bridgerton Season 3, which centres around Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, played by Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan respectively. For this new season, Netflix has divided the narrative into two parts, leaving the last episode of part one on a cliffhanger. Although we have to wait until next month to find out what happens next, at least we can test and try Nicola Coughlan’s skincare routine during the wait.
As the Bridgerton cast was travelling to promote the series, going on various programs and promo tours, it wasn’t until E-News interviewed Nicola Coughlan about her skincare routine that she unveiled how she got that stunning glow. Nicola’s response was “Right now it’s Tatcha. They’re killing it. I love it, and lots of water and sleep.” Then the star jokingly added how she grew up in Ireland without sunshine. After that video circulated that the actress is 37 (and supposedly playing a 19-year-old), of course, fans all over socials were wondering what Tatcha products Nicola uses. Lucky for us, the star revealed her nighttime routine on her personal Instagram. Oh, how we love a non-gatekeeping queen.
Nicola Coughlan’s go-to skincare routine for a radiant skin
Tatcha Camelia Cleansing Oil
According to the clip, Nicola starts off by washing her face with “2 squirts” of the Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil. “I really love a cleansing oil because it feels like it really grabs and gets rid of everything on your skin and it also smells really beautiful, so it’s nice and aromatherapeutic for the end of the day,” she explains. This oil is a 2-in-1 product that cleanses the skin by removing all the makeup, yet also moisturises the face. Since it’s formulated with camellia oil, this item works well with waterproof makeup, too.
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream
Afterwards, Nicola goes in with the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream, the brand’s best-selling moisturiser. This product contains a hyaluronic concentrate, which deeply penetrates the skin, hydrating and plumping it. There’s also algae and Hadasei-3, which further aids that dewy look as well as shielding the face against stress and pollution. “What I love about it is that it feels like it sinks in really quickly and like your skin soaks it up. It doesn’t sit on the surface of the skin; it leaves it really, really, really nice and glowy.”
How to select the right moisturiser for your skin type?
Since moisturiser is the star product for achieving a dewy, hydrating glow, knowing which moisturiser suits your skin is pertinent. We spoke to Jenny Yung, manager of BMF Hong Kong‘s Kwai Fong Branch, and asked her how to select the right moisturiser for various skin types. Let’s break it down for you:
- Dry skin: Choose moisturisers with a rich texture as well as ingredients like hyaluronic acid or squalane
- Oily or acne-prone skin: Opt for lightweight, oil-free moisturisers with ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil
- Combination skin: Use lightweight moisturisers that balance hydration without feeling grease
- Sensitive skin: Look for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturisers with gentle ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile
- Mature or ageing skin: Consider moisturisers with anti-ageing properties like peptides, retinoids, or antioxidants
Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask
The last product Nicola Coughlan uses in her nighttime routine is the Kissu Lip Mask. “It’s really nice and thick and jelly-like. When you wake up in the morning, your lips are nice and plump and ready for the day.” The overnight lip mask contains squalane and Japanese peach extracts that help hydrate the lips, restoring fullness, whilst getting rid of flakiness.
Discussing the benefits of lip masks, Jenny Yung mentioned that the product is a worthwhile investment for people with dry, chapped, or ageing lips. “They provide deep, long-lasting hydration that can improve the overall smoothness, softness, and appearance of the lips,” she added. Yung recommends using them 1-3 times per week, or as needed, to replenish as well as revitalise the delicate lip area.

Skincare products aren’t worth the splurge if you don’t follow a healthy lifestyle. After all, nothing can replace the inner glow which is the by-product of good day-to-day habits. Nicola credits lots of water and sleep for her undeniably youthful appearance at 37. While you can’t defy skin ageing, you can always inculcate lifestyle habits to delay or minimise the effects of ageing on your skin.
Yung shared some of the best lifestyle habits you must inculcate to prevent your skin from ageing early:
- Protect skin from sun exposure with sunscreen, shade, as well as protective clothing.
- Maintain a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
- Avoid smoking as well as excessive alcohol consumption.
- Follow a consistent skincare routine with gentle cleansing, regular exfoliation, and targeted products.
- Manage stress levels through exercise, meditation as well as hobbies.
- Also, remember to personalise your skincare routine based on your skin’s unique needs and consult a dermatologist if necessary.
