Consistency key to perfect skin: Cate Blanchett

Actress Cate Blanchett says she always strives to ensure that the products she uses to wash and cleanse her face are always the same.

She believes the consistency in the skincare products one uses, is vital to have a glowing face.

"Being an actress, you have a lot of different products on your skin, and that's one thing for beauty, but for skincare, I find that the consistency has really paid off for me," contactmusic.com quoted Blanchett as saying.

She says her persistence has paid off as it means she can skip some base products when she is short on time.

"Working with really great make-up artists, I realised that they prime your skin like a canvas, and I had never thought of that before. So the moisturiser you put underneath has to work with the foundation.

"I am pretty time poor like everyone, so often I won't put the foundation on - I will just prepare the skin," said the 44-year-old.
