Erika Jayne Shares Her Go-To Augustinus Bader Skincare Tip for Filming ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’
Erika Jayne Reflects on a Decade of Transformation in the "Real Housewives" Franchise
Erika Jayne, a long-standing figure in the Real Housewives franchise, has established herself as a prominent beauty voice within the Bravoverse. Celebrated for her bold style and high-glam persona, Jayne played a significant role in revolutionizing on-camera beauty, setting new standards for performance-driven styling and striking looks that have become emblematic of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH).
Jayne’s influence stretches beyond Beverly Hills, as she continually reinvents herself in music, television, and stage performances. With nine No. 1 Billboard dance hits, international tours, a Las Vegas residency titled Bet It All on Blonde, and a Broadway role as Roxie Hart in Chicago, she remains a dynamic multi-hyphenate creative.
As RHOBH returns for its tenth season, Jayne opened up about her evolution—personally, creatively, and in terms of her skincare routine.
“Yes. Look, this is my 10th year, my 10th season being on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—hard to believe, right? Every season is different. For me, personally, I approach premieres or the start of the season with both anxiety and a big smile on my face,” Jayne shared.
Discussing her fashion choices for each occasion, Jayne said, “It’s usually the occasion. Let’s say we’re going to… like you saw in the first episode, lunch at Sutton’s with her mom, right? Just for the occasion. Now, that would be different if I met Kyle on the beach and we walked. It’s situational dressing for me, and we build out from there.”

Jayne’s skincare routine also reflects her attention to personal well-being. “Lately, I have liked to double-layer the Augustinus Bader Sensitive Skin Cream and the Rich Cream as a base for my foundations. The combination of those two really calms down my eczema. I have a broken skin barrier, which I struggle to keep up with, and the Sensitive Skin Cream calms down redness, inflammation, and eczema. Then, the Rich Cream on top of it seals that and makes a really nice base for the foundation to glide over,” she explained.
Regular visits to her dermatologist, Dr. Jason Emer, in Beverly Hills further enhance her skincare regimen. “We’re always doing different laser treatments—depending on what the skin actually needs at that time. When I’m working and filming, you can’t be super heavy. During filming, we may do a Clear + Brilliant. I do try to get a facial once a month because it is important to keep the skin clean,” she noted.
Looking ahead to the new season, Jayne acknowledged the dynamics introduced by new cast members. “As far as the season goes, you have new housewives, which is always interesting—it changes the conversation… I guess it was said at BravoCon so that I can say it… Kyle and I are not in the best place with Dorit as the season gets on, but there’s always hope,” she said.
Jayne also shared insights into her emotional engagement with the show. “It’s funny. I talk to my therapist about this a lot, because you do become emotionally involved, especially after something painful or hurtful. I really try to separate myself, calm down, and put some distance between myself and the show. That doesn’t always work, but I try,” she reflected.
As the new season unfolds, Jayne’s journey continues to captivate audiences and prompt discussions about beauty, personal growth, and the complexities of reality television.
