You wouldn't know it based on red carpet photos of Lily Collins' beautiful brown hair, but the Emily in Paris actress is all about keeping things low-effort when it comes to her hair-care routine, she revealed in a recent interview with Bustle.

"I'm a less-is-more person in my off time, because I know that the next time I work I'm gonna be put through the wringer," she told the publication. "I feel like a good mantra for me to remember about me is just breathe, because I'm always on the go."

Considering her busy schedule, Collins likes to keep her hair-care routine minimal and prefers air-drying her hair over getting a professional blowout, she shared during the interview. As an ambassador for Living Proof, one of her go-to products is the brand's Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo (Buy It, $30, sephora.com), she told Bustle.

The dry shampoo is a spray made to soak up dirt, oil, and sweat from hair, offering fresh, clean-looking strands without the shower. It's the perfect pick for those days when you don't want to wash your hair (or likely in Collins' case, you don't have the time), but want a quick refresh and boost to your look. The dry shampoo helps the 33-year-old actress take care of herself and her hair without requiring too much time, something Collins admitted is important to her in the recent interview.

Anther staple product in her routine is the Living Proof No Frizz Vanishing Hair Oil (Buy It, $30, sephora.com), which is a lightweight, fast-absorbing hair oil that helps eliminate frizz, enhances shine, and hydrates hair. A small drop of the oil into her bangs, which Collins' admitted is her favorite new addition to her look, helps keep them looking smooth and shiny.

While bangs may require some extra work, it's worth it for Collins. "Putting a ponytail or a messy bun with bangs kind of creates a little bit more of a look than without them for me, because with them you feel like you've done something extra," she explained. "It's like a weird addition that all of a sudden feels a little bit more fancy."

Even if you aren't willing to take the plunge and get bangs, you can still take a note from Collins and incorporate small acts of self-care into your routine. Whether it's spraying dry shampoo on your roots on a no-wash day or taking a few minutes to breathe, her low-key approach to beauty is very relatable and simple enough to replicate with some of her favorite products, which you can buy at Sephora today.
