Naomi Watts (57) Says She Feels More Radiant After Making One Small Change to Her Morning Drink

Naomi Watts has tried plenty of skincare products over the years, but one of her favorite changes barely counts as a routine at all. It happens before she even gets to her face.

The Small Addition to Her Morning Water

Watts has said she adds a capful of a hydration or collagen boost powder from The Beauty Chef into her water first thing in the morning. It’s a small step, stirred into a glass she was already going to drink anyway.

“A capful of the Hydration and Collagen beauty boosts in my water every morning has really helped me,” she’s said, tying the habit directly to how her skin looks day to day.

Why She Turned to a Boost Powder in the First Place

Watts has described her skin as not naturally oily, which makes hydration a bigger priority for her than it might be for someone else. That dryness is part of why she reached for a boost built specifically around moisture.

Rather than overhauling her whole routine, she found one small addition that addressed the actual issue. The simplicity seems to be part of why it stuck.

The Smoothie Version Gets the Same Treatment

On days she blends a green smoothie instead of drinking water plain, the same boost powder comes along for the ride. In a detailed rundown of her morning, she described adding a Glow Powder along with a dash of the Hydration or Collagen Boost to a big glass of water.

That consistency matters more than the exact format. Whether it’s a smoothie or a plain glass of water, the boost powder shows up almost every morning regardless.

Water Alone Was Already Doing Some of the Work

Even before the boost powder entered the picture, Watts has said she noticed a difference simply from drinking more water throughout the day. “I drink lots of water — it’s instant glowing skin,” she said in the same interview.

That gives the boost powder a head start rather than acting alone. It’s layered on top of a habit that was already paying off on its own.

Her Coffee Habit Stayed Completely Separate

Notably, none of this changed how Watts drinks her actual coffee. She’s stuck with black coffee from a percolator, a habit she picked up after moving to America from a cappuccino-drinking past.

The glow routine lives entirely in a separate glass. Keeping the two apart seems to be part of what makes each one easy to stick with.

A Habit That Fits Into a Bigger Skin Routine

Watts has spoken openly about how her skin’s needs have shifted with age, particularly through menopause, when collagen production naturally slows down. Products formulated with vitamin C and peptides have become a bigger part of her routine as a result.

A collagen boost stirred into morning water fits neatly into that same goal. It’s a small, repeatable habit addressing a change her skin is already going through, rather than fighting it after the fact.
