Jessica Alba has two major skin struggles—not that you’d ever be able to tell. The 41-year-old actress and co-founder of The Honest Company is known for her flawless, dewy complexion, but she actually has her share of skin concerns, just like the rest of us.

“One of them is my dry, flaky skin. I can get quite rashy and I have pretty sensitive skin. So I try to avoid anything that will give me that eczema-type rash. And then the other thing is congestion—having underground clogged pores and blackheads.”1

Dealing with these challenges over the years was why she turned to clean beauty. “All of the skincare products that I use are clean, and why I’m so passionate about it is because I’ve had such reactive skin literally since I was born. I thought I had chronic cystic acne when I was in my twenties, but what I realized is I’m just allergic to a lot of petroleum-based ingredients, and I’m also allergic to synthetic fragrances.”2,3

Now, Jessica’s skincare routine is mostly her own Honest products. (“It’s the only way that I can ensure that I’m not going to have some kind of reaction.”4) She also uses an array of skin gadgets and face masks, and has regular treatments with her esthetician (and BFF) Shani Darden.
