It’s clear Virgin River fans adore Alexandra Breckenridge and her performance as Melinda “Mel” Monroe. But outside of the Netflix show, folks also love how open she is about life away from the set — including the beauty products she uses at home.

When speaking with Good Housekeeping ahead of the Virgin River season 6 premiere, the This Is Us alum revealed a beauty staple she loves to use when she’s not in full glam for work. Alexandra couldn’t stop raving about the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 (which she wore during the interview!) and all the product’s benefits.

“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.”

But don’t just trust Alexandra’s opinion — let the Good Housekeeping Institute make a good case for why to purchase the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint. When evaluated by our experts in the Beauty, Health and Sustainability Lab, the product earned the title of “Best Tinted Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin” on our list of best tinted moisturizers. Additionally, testers loved how it felt light to wear on their skin while still providing decent coverage.

As for why Alexandra loves the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint, it’s more than just about wearing makeup.

“I’m now in my 40s, so my skin is totally changing from how it has been my entire life,” she added. “As an actress, my skin is really, really important, because it’s a part of what you see when I’m on TV. Moisturizing is so important to me and really making sure that I’m getting vitamin C and peptides and other things.”
