Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge, 42, is as candid about her off-screen beauty routine as she is beloved for her on-screen role as Mel Monroe. And when it comes to keeping her skin hydrated and glowing, she has one go-to essential: Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40.
In a chat with Good Housekeeping ahead of the Season 6 premiere, Breckenridge revealed she actually wore the lightweight tint during the interview.
“I love it because it has hyaluronic acid, it’s moisturizing and it hydrates your skin,” she said. “It also has pretty good coverage and it’s a fantastic foundation.”
The hybrid serum-foundation retails for $48 and is available at Sephora, Ulta and Ilia’s official site. Offered in 30 shades, the formula is fragrance-free and packed with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and squalane—all aimed at helping dryness, acne, redness and fine lines.
Beauty experts back her up: the Good Housekeeping Institute dubbed it the Best Tinted Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, praising its lightweight feel and natural coverage.
For Breckenridge, the product is part of embracing her skin in her 40s.
“My skin is totally changing,” she shared. “As an actress, it’s a big part of what you see on TV. Moisturizing and getting vitamin C, peptides—those things matter.”
Consider this your cue to check out her favorite skin tint—and maybe peek at the rest of her beauty staples, too.
