It’s no secret thatJenna Dewanis obsessed with all things beauty.
The actress and dancer, 38, has documentedher day-to-day skincare and makeup routinefor fans to see on YouTube and tells PEOPLE she considers herself “such a beauty junkie.” But Dewan admits that once she became pregnant with her now 5-year-old daughter Everly Tatum, she changed her approach to shopping for products.
“Everything I was using no longer was recommended to be using while pregnant. I just started using natural face products, then makeup and it became a slow unrolling of getting into more of these toxin-free [items],” the star tells PEOPLE. “But being a beauty junkie, I didn’t want to sacrifice quality.”

“Once I found makeup that was natural and toxin-free, but also still beautiful, I was like, ‘Okay. You never know,'” Dewan says. “It all has great texture and great colors. I did a lot of work to find the best products, and I use these every day.”
Below, we catch up with the star to talk all things beauty, fashion, parenting and more.
What’s the easiest eco-friendly swap you’ve made in your life?
For me, initially it started with food. I began clean eating. I followedKimberly Snyder’s eating planand was vegan. Then she introduced me to clean beauty in the beginning with certain products and oil she liked.
What’s your favorite clean sunscreen?
Elta MD. I like it because it gives you a glow and isn’t mattifying. It’s all natural and zinc-based. I’ve had a lot of doctors and dermatologists recommend it to me.

What’s the funniest thing she’s done lately?
She’s so bright and as soon as she came out, she was very funny. Lately, we’ve been really on her about dressing. She gets herself dressed. The other day, she had on a winter hat with a tutu, these leggings that were four inches too short and her camp t-shirt. She was like, “This is what I am wearing to your friend’s house.” I was like, “You know what? Okay girl.” I am the parent that just goes with it.
What was the first big splurge you made afterStep It Upfirst came out?
I know exactly what it was. I bought a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. I still have them. I mean, they’re not in style anymore, but it was such a big deal to me to spend that much money on them. At the time I was blown away that I could do that so it was kind of cool.
You mentioned being vegan and eating clean. What do you eat on a cheat day?
I need to have those days so I don’t feel like I’m totally depriving myself. love Mexican food. To me going and having a huge vegetarian burrito, or to eat my weight in chips and guacamole or french fries, that is my cheat night. Basically, anything spicy, salty and margaritas.
