Tara Lipinski is all about glowy skin.
Lipinski, 43, exclusively opened as much as Us Weekly about her partnership with Thayers and their recent 80 Hour Milky Moisturizer which made her skin as dewy as ever. “I’ve used Thayers before, but for the last couple months, I’ve been using them strictly, and I’m now 100% hooked,” the Olympian ice skater told Us. “For me, the dry weather and the skating and being within the cold that [affects] my skin,” Lipinski noted. “So I’ve been loving using their products and their toner.”
Lipinski, who returned to the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan to function a commentator, made sure to pack her Milky Moisturizer along with her. “I’ll use it without makeup, after which I exploit it before I placed on all of my makeup,” she told Us, gushing that it’s grow to be her go-to.
Her current skincare routine consists of using Thayers’ PH Balancing Gentle Cleanser, which she swears by. “There are so few cleansers I can find that clean my skin without irritating it,” she said. Lipinski especially relies on the product since it gets “rid of all” her “makeup and dirt” without stripping her skin. Next, she goes in with the Milky Moisturizer.
“I’ve at all times been form of a skincare junkie, and loved trying so many various things, but through the years, I’ve found my staples and what works with my skin,” Lipinski said.
Lipinski also reflected on getting older and seeing the “effects” that cold weather has on her skin.
“I just feel like being within the cold weather, I’ve at all times tried to actually moisturize and hydrate, simply because that’s where I live my life,” Lipinski shared with Us.
If she’s ever spending overtime on the rink and feels much more dry than usual, Lipinski has a hilarious hack: putting diaper paste on her face. “If my skin is ever really red or irritated, I’ll use the zinc oxide [paste] and it transforms your skin overnight,” she said.
One other thing Lipinski is adamant about is applying sunscreen day by day on her face, neck and hands. She also takes extra precautions while getting her nails done with a UV lamp and wears gloves.
When she’s not hitting the ice or commentating for the Olympics, fans can watch Lipinski on season 4 of The Traitors, a murder mystery game hosted by Alan Cumming. She also opened as much as Us about how the “psychological” game in comparison with being an Olympic athlete.

“The pressure of an Olympic Games is unlike any variety of pressure there may be,” she said. “But I’ll say that this was a brand new variety of pressure. It’s psychological pressure and torment that Alan would bestow on us each day.” She also noted that her and Johnny Weir’s strategy in the sport was to act like strangers in order that nobody would detect their secret alliance, despite the fact that they’ve been friends for years and function Olympic commentators together.
“I’m a competitor, so I feel that’s the strategy that I had, and the strategy that Johnny and I had,” she explained. “We put a variety of thought into [pretending not to be close]. Obviously, my game play was to sort of be under the radar, but be a part of the combination.”
She added, “Johnny and I were like, ‘We aren’t ever breaking character on this. We barely know one another.’ Even when he gave me a hug in the primary episode, you sort of see he’s almost startled, because I even thought that was too warm.”
