Olympic Gymnast Gabby Douglas Shares Her "Very Simple" Skincare Routine

Gabby begins her "very simple" skincare routine by washing her face with the super-affordable Good Molecules Acne Foaming Cleanser. "I find when I do too much, my skin really starts to break out," she shares. "I just have that skin where it's like, don't do the most — so I just don't do the most."

After washing her face, Gabby uses Cocokind's rosewater toner to soothe and hydrate her skin. At under $20, it's a staple that won't break the bank.

The third and final step in Gabby's skincare routine is to rub in Vitamin E oil. She uses this one from Dr Joe Lab. "Nothing to it," she adds of her ritual. "Morning and night."

"I rub sunscreen on my face every day. It limits the harsh UV lights from the sun," Gabby shares. Her go-to face sunscreen is Cocokind's Daily SPF.

"I'm very basic," Gabby says of her beauty essentials. "The only time I get very glammed up is on a shoot. On the regular I really don't wear makeup. I will gel my eyebrows — fluff them up a little bit — and that's it." Gabby's brow pick is the Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW Gel.

"I either go all in or not at all. So my workout routine is very intense every time I do it," Gabby reveals. "When I'm not in the gym, I do trampoline workouts, dancing workouts, weight training. But when I'm in the gym I do more cardio."

She always has her water bottle with her so she can stay hydrated while working out, and notes she's "team YETI." The Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab also selected the YETI Rambler as their best overall water bottle in 2024, according to testing.

"[My] gym bag is all over the place," Gabby admits. "I have extra snacks, I have my tape, I have my pre-wrap, dirty shorts, extra leo..." Another must in her gym bag is Vermont's Original Bag Balm, which she uses to keep her hands soft and help repair her skin after working them on bars and floor.

To take care of her body and help protect from injuries, Gabby cites MTape as another essential she always carries around in her gym bag. She also packs pre-wrap.

"I've been trying to get a lot of protein in because I am still training. Before, on my 2024 journey, I had to make sure that I was getting the right amount of nutrients for my muscles in my body since I was back in the intense sport," Gabby says. She likes Natural Force whey protein powder in chocolate or vanilla.

At home, Gabby's "go-to" is her Breville coffee machine. "I do it every morning," she says.

The Breville Barista Touch Impress Espresso Machine With Grinder tops the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab's list of best-tested espresso machines for 2024. For a lower-priced model, the Bambino is the GH Institute's Best Value Breville Espresso Machine pick.

When making her morning coffee, Gabby usually grinds up Lavazza beans. "I love it," she says of the brand.

Gabby teamed up with Ancestry for an interactive experience that allows fans to compare their DNA results to those of incredible athletes from around the world. If you're curious how your own traits compare to Gabby, Nastia Liukin, Kerri Walsh Jennings and more than a dozen other champions, you can check out the kit.

Gabby notes that many of the findings in her AncestryDNA + Traits Test are consistent with why she's good at gymnastics — "and sometimes wasn't good at it. I found it a little bit shocking that I wasn't good at balance [according to my results]," she says, adding, "I always had to work very hard to conquer the beam, be very solid."
