Pharrell Williams reveals skincare secrets that keep him looking young at 51

Pharrell Williams shares the secrets behind his youthful glow.

The “Happy” singer, 51, shared his two-part solution for ageless skin during an interview with People published Saturday.

‘Now, there is a routine, and you can find them online, but I think this is probably the most active part of them all: no, there’s two of them. It exfoliates, but it’s also here,” Williams told the outlet, pointing to his heart.

“It’s literally right here. Never let that inner child be silent,” the Louis Vuitton creative director continued.

“Never (go), ‘Oh, I can’t do this anymore.’ No. That’s why you absolutely have to do it now. The people who want to put you in a box? They tried that with me too, and here we are.”

Williams gave a similar answer when he spoke to Dazed in August 2017, revealing that his wrinkle-free complexion was due to exfoliation.

“I exfoliate like crazy. If you exfoliate and drink a lot of water, it will be good for you,” he said at the time. “For me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There is a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic lunatic.”

However, some – including R&B singer Frank Ocean – had trouble believing that Williams was relying solely on an exfoliation technique.

In his 2019 GQ cover story, Ocean called out the music producer for not revealing more in-depth skincare advice.

“It’s been all these years, and Pharrell still hasn’t given us the keys. “He just says ‘exfoliate’, but it’s not just ‘exfoliate’: we need more keys,” he said.

The following year, Williams released the skin care line Humanrace, which he created with his longtime dermatologist Elena Jones.

The line includes everything from the Humidifying Face Cream ($52) to the Lotus Enzyme Exfoliator ($46). The products contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom extract.

Williams was recently announced as co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. LeBron James will serve as honorary chairman.

The theme for next year’s event will be “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” Vogue announced Wednesday.
