John Mayer's beauty routine is a wonderland.
On Wednesday night, the singer showed fans another side of himself by posting an unexpected tutorial detailing his night-time beauty regimen to Snapchat.
"You know, a lot of people ask me, 'John, what are some of your skincare secrets?'” the singer shared on his Snapchat story. “And I always say, that’s an odd question to ask me, and they always say you literally just asked me to ask you that.”
