Chris Hemsworth’s Golden Skincare Fumble
When the Aussie action star found himself sun‑burned, he didn’t go straight for aloe or a simple moisturizer. Nope—he swore up a $400 La Mer cream that his wife, Elsa Pataky, swears by. Needless to say, the move didn’t earn her too many high‑five vibes.
The $400 Cream Incident
- Chris was scorching his shoulders after a beach day and thought, “Why not treat the whole body with the fancy stuff?”
- He splashed that pricey cream all over his skin—just to feel that luxurious scent.
- Elsa, who literally carries her own skincare budget, was less than thrilled; “Why’d you use the expensive face moisturizer for a sunburn?” she asked.
- The girl even warned him that the cream “smells so delicious, I wanted to eat it.”.
Back to Nature: Coconut Oil Saves the Day
Leaning on his personal skin‑protection arsenal, the actor admits he’s a big fan of coconut oil—especially after scorching his skin in the surf.
- “I usually just use coconut oil on my face—especially when it’s dry.”
- “It’s a natural, budget‑friendly alternative to pricey creams.”
- “If you’re hitting the waves or the sun, coconut oil is your best bet for a sunburn or dehydrated skin.”
Deodorant Dilemma: Going Green
When it comes to keeping his underarms fresh, Hemsworth has a different philosophy.
- “I’ve stopped using spray deodorants for a long time due to the chemicals and their impact on the environment.”
- Instead, he opts for a natural roll‑on deodorant—often handmade in Byron Bay.
- “Finding the right one can be a bit of a scavenger hunt, but there are some pretty effective local brands that pack a punch.”
So, if you’re looking to boost your screen time, consider swapping that high‑price luxe for something as simple—and far more nourishing—for the planet. Remember: when your body is better than the cost, you’ll be the one with the bright glow.
