Actor Nicole Kidman made news last week with her skincare routine under scrutiny, now that the ‘Moulin Rouge’ actor became a new global ambassador for Clé de Peau Beauté [IG].

The Shiseido-owned luxury Japanese beauty brand said the Australian actress “perfectly embodies” its vision of radiance “where a blend of intelligence, artistry, and purpose converge”.

Clé de Peau Beauté has never pursued a superficial, external approach to physical beauty and the appointment emphasizes the shared values between the beauty brand and Nicole Kidman’s actions as a humanist.

Growing up in Australia with intense sunlight loving Nicole Kidman’s fair skin, the actor held the continent’s sun culture at arms length. She believes that the necessity of spending more time indoors helped activate her interest in acting.

The distinctive red hair and very fair skin looks that caused her to be constantly bullied as a young Aussie girl are now part of her unique look on screen and in real life. As one of the most talented, sensual and engaging aging women in Hollywood, Kidman now lives in a confident world of self-love and a big, generous empathy for others.

Intelligent, Intentional, Illuminating Beauty

As a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, the actor dedicates herself to advancing gender equality, supporting education, and combating violence against women. Her humanitarian work echoes Clé de Peau Beauté’s core mission: to empower individuals and transform beauty into a vehicle for confidence, purpose, and positive impact.

AOC supports the big-words mission articulated by Clé de Peau Beauté, which emphasizes a new kind of beauty—one that is intelligent, intentional, and illuminating. It is not about perfection or seduction, but revelation.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Apply for Portugal Residency

Kidman appeared alone last week at the hearing for her application for legal residency in Portugal. Despite headlines promoting problems in their marriagee, Kidman explained that Urban is on tour and could not join her at Portugal’s Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum in her mid-July appearance. Urban will appear as soon as his tour permits.

Now that she’s protected with her Clé de Peau Beauté skincare products, Kidman is free to pursue the sun at the Costaterra Golf and Country Club.

Kidman and Urban already own real estate in Lisbon, but it’s believed that the couple and their daughters 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret want to buy into Costaterra. Known for its ‘laidback luxury’, the 722-acre development is located 80 miles south of Lisbon.

Current residents at the Costaterra region inside or near the development include George Clooney and Amal Clooney, Paris Hilton, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
