Justin Bieber sheds light on overcoming depression and improving his skincare regimen

Justin Bieber is touting the importance of self-care. 

The pop star, 26, talked about overcoming his battle with depression and improving his skincare routine on the latest episode of The Biebers On Watch. 

Justin and his wife Hailey reflected on the importance of wellness as they made pasta together while listening to his music.   

Hailey, 23, said she began seeing major improvement after Justin began taking the right medication and changed his diet.  

‘The biggest thing I saw was when you got on the proper antidepressant which you’re no longer on cause you worked with a doctor and you guys felt like it wasn’t needed anymore. So when that happened and when you changed your diet,’ she said. 

Justin agreed, adding he saw even more progress after cutting sugar out of his diet.   

‘I cut sugar pretty much out and then since I’ve cut sugar out of my… I feel like I’m not depressed,’ he said.  

‘Sugar and gluten were your biggest two,’ Hailey said. 

‘Depression is a real thing,’ Justin later said. ‘A lot of people struggle with depression and people look at it like it’s a weakness but until you have it, you know it’s…’ 

Justin said seeking help shouldn’t be perceived as a sign of weakness.   

‘I feel like having help doesn’t mean you’re weak, it just means like you know you care about yourself and you care about those around you and you wanna be a healthy individual,’ he said. 

Hailey said self-care was particularly important in a relationship.   

‘Because when you’re in a relationship that person isn’t, it’s not up to them to save you, it’s not their job to fix you, you gotta wanna do that on your own and you gotta wanna constantly be becoming the best version of yourself so the two of you can just keep getting better together,’ she said. 

‘I gotta say when you tell me that you’re proud of me it means more than anybody else,’ Justin said. 

Hailey also shared how she was helping Justin improve his skin during quarantine. 

‘Justin has really, really, really nice skin naturally and over the last two years, he has been struggling with, like, adult onset acne breakout,’ Hailey said. 

‘And so, you know, I’m super into skincare, especially because we’ve had a lot of time in this quarantine, I told him that by the time we exit this quarantine, he is going to have glowing, perfect skin, and we are going to work on that,’ she said. 

‘She’s been pickin’ and prodding at my skin,’ he said. 

‘Yeah… it’s not good to pick at pimples but…’ she said. 

‘She pops them. She puts like serum and does, like, masks for me. The whole thing,’ Justin said. 

‘He’s been a lot better about staying on a regimen,’ she added. 

Though Hailey believes her good skin is down to genetics, she is still proactive about taking care of it everyday.    

‘So I stay on a really strict regimen, there’s never a time I go to sleep without washing my face. I never sleep with makeup on ever, ever, ever, ever. When I have time off I don’t ever really wear a lot of makeup. I’m never going to put on like a full… sometimes if we’re going out.. we’re going on like a date night or something I will. I try to just stay hydrated, drink a lot of water. You drink way more water than I do. So, you win in that department.’
