How to get Pedro Pascal’s youthful glow: The Last of Us star prepped his skin for the Oscars with this 3-step routine, using La Mer and a Solawave red-light therapy wand
The “internet’s favourite dad” made sure to prep well before the event, given his ever-increasing prominence as Hollywood’s latest mega-star. Before HBO’s The Last of Us, Pascal’s biggest TV appearances involved getting his skull crushed in Game of Thrones and remaining (mostly) masked in The Mandalorian.
To prime his skin for the Oscars, his stylist Courtney (Coco) Ullrich-Mooney opted for a minimal regimen of a few high-quality products – namely, La Mer items, which are among the most coveted in the skincare world.

Combined, the products used would amount to over US$1,000.

2. Then, he used moisturiser containing “moisture spheres” to smooth fine lines
The last – and most expensive – La Mer product used was a US$570 moisturising cream, which was applied to Pascal’s entire face. Beyond the Miracle Broth, the formula also contains tiny “moisture spheres” that the brand says help moisturise the skin and diminish fine lines.
3. Lastly, he used a red-light therapy wand favoured by many celebs
The celebrity stylist also featured the Solawave on her Instagram as one of the tools she used to get Pascal ready. It’s a wand that uses red light and sonic vibrations to smooth wrinkles, fade blemishes and de-puff the face, and has been a favourite of celebrities like Jennifer Coolidge, Nicole Kidman, Lil Nas X, Megan Fox and Reese Witherspoon.
But unlike face creams or moisturisers, “any benefits to the skin tone and texture are modest and would require continued use over weeks to months to see”, Zeichner said, noting that “perhaps it can plump or enhance circulation to the skin with a single use”.

It’s unclear how often Pascal’s stylist uses it on him.
The device’s instructions advise using it three times a week after you apply moisturiser. You should glide the wand across your face (focusing on key areas like your forehead and under-eyes) for about five minutes.
