Jessica Alba has been a beloved Hollywood A-lister since her rise to fame in 2000, when she broke through with a role in the TV series Dark Angel.

While many things in her life have since changed, from welcoming three children to starting The Honest Company, one thing has stayed constant: her enviably radiant skin.

Thankfully, the 44-year-old doesn’t gatekeep. Alba recently gave a tutorial of her skincare and makeup routine on Instagram, showcasing what she uses to achieve a glass skin glow.

First, Alba prepped her skin with Keren Bartov’s Advanced Skin Serum. Bartov is a trusted celebrity facialist with a famous clientele that includes Kate Hudson, Demi Moore, and Cindy Crawford.

The Advanced Skin Serum is Keren Bartov’s bestseller, replenishing moisture and helping with dullness without leaving behind a sticky, overly emollient residue. It’s the perfect primer alternative for makeup prep, delivering skin-boosting benefits.

Next, Alba prepared her skin for makeup with a celebrity-favored at-home laser.

She held not one but two Lyma lasers to her face, moving them away from the center of her face with long strokes.

This at-home laser utilizes cold laser technology to help painlessly smooth fine lines and wrinkles, target jowls and sagging skin, and minimize the appearance of pigmentation in just a month.

The advanced, near-infrared laser is suitable for most skin types and tones, and can be used on both the face and body.

After prepping her skin, Alba began applying a brightening concealer to her under-eyes, followed by a light layer of foundation.

Her choice of foundation was Sweed Beauty’s Glass Skin Foundation, which she applied with a foundation brush.

In line with Alba’s well-known preference for more natural formulas, the color-correcting foundation is vegan and free of parabens and alcohol.

After her skin was plump, hydrated, and positively glowing, Alba finished off the glass skin look with a bit of blush, bronzer, and light eye makeup.

While not every step in her routine is exactly low-lift, this beginner-friendly tutorial proves that glass skin (at any age) is ultimately about thoughtful skin prep and a foundation that lets your natural glow come through.
