Sofia Vergara has two strict beauty rules she never breaks.

The 'Modern Family' star has revealed she always washes her make-up off before bed and makes sure she keeps her face out of the sun at all times - even if it means her face and body end up looking totally different.

She told Glamour magazine: "There’s a million [rules] I’m obsessed with. I always wash my face after going to bed. I try to avoid the sun on my face no matter what. I go on vacations and I’m not that diligent, to be honest with you, with the body because it’s nice to feel a little sun, a little tan. But the face — it’s funny, because my body’s always so much darker than my face. My face is like a ghost. It doesn’t even match my body."

Sofia has launched her own sun care line called Toty to help others include an SPF in their daily skincare and make-up routine, and the actress says she wishes she'd taken better care of her skin when she was younger.

She added: "It’s [launching the brand] been something that I wanted to do for a long time. In the ’90s, when I started realising that sunblock was so important for your face for aging. I did a lot of damage to myself with the sun because living in South America, in Colombia, we don’t even have seasons. It’s all year long sun."

Sofia went on to reveal her other must-have beauty product aside from sunscreen - Shu Uemura's haircare line.

She explained: "I love Shu Uemura shampoos. They have changed my hair. I have to do a lot of things to it while I’m working. Sometimes they curl your hair, straighten your hair, pull your hair, colour your hair. I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s really good."
