When she isn’t busy working on TV shows and movies, America Ferrera enjoys spending time indulging in her skincare routines. From acupuncture facials to drinking lots of water, the actress makes sure to take care of her skin, and she relies on a few drugstore favorites to keep a radiant, glowing complexion.

In a recent interview with Who What Wear, the 37-year-old revealed her four favorite drugstore skincare products to use: The CoverGirl Clean Fresh Skincare Hydrating Cleanser, Priming Glow Mist , Weightless Water Cream, and lip tint. Of course, it comes as no surprise that the actress mentioned all CoverGirl products—she is the brand’s latest beauty ambassador. But what did surprise us is how simple her morning and nighttime skincare routine is to follow.

“I do think that beautiful, glowy, fresh skin goes a really long way in simplifying your makeup routine,” Ferrera said.

To help you get your best youthful and stunning complexion, find the product breakdown of Ferrera’s regimen below.

She cleanses her skin day and night.

I’ve been using CoverGirl’s new skincare. It’s really hydrating, which I love,” said Ferrera. “The CoverGirl Clean Fresh Skincare Hydrating Cleanser is so velvety. I love the feeling of it, and I feel clean, but I don’t feel dry. And it leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized,” she added.

Moisturizer is an absolute must.

“I love to pile on the moisture, so I follow up with the CoverGirl Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream which feels like velvet going on but doesn’t feel heavy,” said Ferrera. “It absorbs really evenly, really beautifully, and it leaves the glow. I love the glow!”

The lightweight facial moisturizer is formulated with a unique electrolyte-rich TruClean cactus water ingredient and hyaluronic acid, which work together to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture for up to 72 hours. It’s also oil-free, 100% vegan, and safe for all skin types, according to the brand.

“Hyaluronic acid is commonly used as an ingredient in moisturizers because of its hydration benefits, and can even help plump the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines,” said Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, in a previous interview for Prevention. “This humectant acts like a tiny sponge, holding up to a thousand times its weight in water and pulling it to the skin’s surface to quench and plump.”

Her favorite face mist is rich in vitamin C.

“I do love the Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Priming Glow Mist , which I feel like I can pull out any time of the day when I need to wake up or just look awake at least,” said Ferrera.

The facial mist is also beloved by Amazon customers, receiving a 4.4-star rating and tons of rave reviews. Reviewers love the hydrating blend of rosewater and vitamin C, which helps to brighten and soothe the skin. Vitamin C is also a well-studied ingredient that is known to boost collagen production, act as an antioxidant, and brighten the skin while fading sun damage and dark spots.

She prefers a natural lip look with a slight wash of color.

“I love the CoverGirl Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm,” said Ferrera. “I really love the colors that they have. They have some that look like a real lip, which I like.”

Available in five various sheer shades, this tinted lip balm will leave your lips looking super shiny and feeling moisturized. Its formula is also nondrying and not sticky, so you won’t have to worry about any dry lips.

And that’s it! An easy, affordable, and effective skincare routine—shop all of Ferrera’s skincare picks here.
