As the political spotlight turns to Vice President Kamala Harris, old videos from the 2020 campaign have resurfaced revealing her down-to-earth skin care routine. During the campaign, Harris showed off a simple but effective beauty regimen that includes a face wash and moisturizer, as well as her interest in trendy serums.
Harris, who made history as the second Black woman and first South Asian American elected to the US Senate, is also a former Attorney General and a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform. She’s also a huge fan of Cetaphil skin care products.

Vice President Harris continues to campaign for the presidency as Democrats question President Biden’s fitness to run for reelection against former President Donald Trump.
In a candid moment in 2019, Harris explained, “I use wipes because I’m campaigning, but outside of that I use a skin cleanser.” She continued, “I just use a regular moisturizer.” Despite her candid approach, Harris expressed interest in the popular serum trend. “I want to know what it is. A serum!” she exclaimed. “All of a sudden, serums are all the rage. And there are all kinds of them. Yeah, some of them say lotion, but they clearly look like a serum. And they say leave it on for a minute to absorb. I feel like it’s a lot of work.”
Harris’ hands-on approach to skincare and exploration of beauty trends have struck a chord with many, as has public interest in the fashion and beauty choices of female politicians and first ladies, from former First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s iconic suits and hats to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s signature bright red lips and hoop earrings.
In a world where celebrities are often subjected to intense scrutiny for their appearance, Harris’ honest and relatable skincare routine offers a fresh perspective. Harris’ commitment to simplicity and willingness to explore new trends highlight her multifaceted personality – one that’s both relatable and inspiring.
As Harris continues to break down barriers and redefine what it means to be a leader, her beauty routine is a reminder that even those in the highest positions have relatable moments and are genuinely interested in the latest trends.
