Bullock was born in Arlington, Virginia, in 1964. Raised in a military family, Bullock and her parents spent a great deal of time in Germany when she was young. She studied dance and vocal arts when she was a child and by the time she was in high school, she was active in cheerleading and school theater.

After graduating from high school in 1982, Bullock went on to attend East Carolina University, where she studied Drama.

In the late ’80s, Bullock moved to New York, where she took a variety of odd jobs all while auditioning for acting roles. By the early ’90s, Bullock had broken into mainstream movies, appearing in films like The Thing Called Love, Fire on the Amazon, and Demolition Man.

Bullock’s big break was in 1994, when she landed a leading role in the action film Speed, opposite Keanu Reeves. Since then, Bullock’s career hasn’t slowed down, and these days, she is considered to be a fan-favorite actress. 

Sandra Bullock favors a low-key beauty routine

When it comes to her beauty routine, Bullock prefers low-key and easy. Bullock has admitted to preferring a simple skincare ritual, utilizing a facecloth to cleanse and cream from the Artistry brand. All in all, Bullock likes to spend less than ten minutes on her daily beauty routine.

She also makes sure to exfoliate regularly, in order to ensure smooth skin. When it comes to beauty, Bullock favors an inside-out approach, and never skips a workout — even at a very early hour.

Certainly, her dedication to fitness has helped her to look so young, even in her mid-fifties. Bullock needs all of her energy, in order to keep up with her two young children as well as maintain her thriving film career. 

Sandra Bullock’s unique tip for smooth under eyes

Like many actors, Bullock has picked up tips from various movie sets that she has been on over the years. When filming her hit movie Miss Congeniality, Bullock discovered a unique tip to help her under-eye stay smooth and wrinkle-free.

The undereye area is notorious for showing age since the skin in that area is so thin and delicate. However, Bullock utilizes a simple skincare trick in order to keep her eye area youthful.

Reportedly, Bullock uses hemorrhoid creams on her face in order to help with fine lines. As she admitted: “my favorite beauty-pageant secret: I didn’t realize that putting hemorrhoid ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business. But apparently butt cream does help lines around the eyes.”

Whatever she is doing, it is clearly working, since Bullock still looks stunning, effortless, and ageless, even after many decades in the entertainment business.
