Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens has dealt with acne her whole life. Here, she shares her go-to skin-clearing beauty routine (and some fave makeup products, too).

It used to be 'put on a full face and I feel like I’m ready to conquer the world,' and now my perspective is 'skin is in.' I think there’s nothing more empowering than when you can step foot outside, be in your skin, and feel confident. I want to glow.'" I was like, 'I want to give that experience to my consumer; you put it on and you feel like a king or a queen.' You’re taking care of yourself and treating yourself like the royalty you are." I love that product because it’s all-in-one." However, because celebs are really just like us, Hudgens has to contend with a slight white cast from her go-to SPF, which is why she follows it up with this tinted Ilia product. Hudgens tells me she's been using a salicylic acid toner spray in the mornings to help keep pores clear and prevent breakouts. "I've been using whatever cleanser is in my shower," she laughs. I got to look back into my own childhood memories, and I remember the first time I was like, 'Oh that looks luxurious!' I was probably 8 years old when Calvin Klein came out with the fragrance Euphoria, and it was purple. "I feel like it’s such an underused ingredient and works wonders for people with problematic skin, so we made sure we threw that in there," she says. "But they've always been a little too drying for my skin, so I wanted to put my head together with my formulator to create a clay mask that is going to rid your skin of impurities and can also be hydrating to the dermis, have active ingredients, and help with fine lines… "I wanted to start by looking for an active ingredient, something that is really nutrient-rich," she tells me. "Then, I was like, I'm aging and fine lines are definitely a thing, so it'd be great if we could find a natural ingredient that would help with that issue."
