Gina Rodriguez may play innocent as CW’s Jane the Virgin, but the actress is all about strong confidence in real life. Things that empower her: “My intelligence, my hard work…owning my body, and celebrating that,” says Rodriguez. “Knowing that I am good enough.”

I met the Chicago-born actress at the Nueva Latinas Living Fabulosa event, hosted by Procter & Gamble Orgullosa. The forum spotlighted Latina trendsetters and focused on their stories of strength, success and confidence. Rodriguez believes in celebrating natural beauty and pampering herself whenever possible.

Yahoo Beauty: What does your beauty regimen entail?
Gina Rodriguez: I was always taught to celebrate your natural beauty, so my regimen is really just cleaning my face. I wash my face most of the time with just soap.

What has had the biggest effect on your skin?
If I’m not eating very well, it comes out in my skin. I think it’s a mixture of not only products, but [also] food in your diet.

What makeup products are you currently using?
I have an amazing makeup artist, and I’m not exactly sure what she uses because I can’t do my own makeup, which is very sad!

If you’re not with your makeup artist, how do you get ready in the morning?
If I’m going to do any makeup of my own, it’s a little mascara, maybe blush, and lipgloss. I’m a big fan of natural beauty.

Do you do anything to pamper yourself routinely?
Massages! I try to get them as much as possible. I would get one every day if I could.

What bad habits do you avoid to keep yourself looking great?
I really don’t mess with my face. I don’t touch it because my hands are dirty!
