Actress Gillian Jacobs Takes the No Nonsense Approach to Beauty
Moisturizer, water and long hikes with her dog…actress Gillian Jacobs shares her girl-next-door beauty routine.
Actress Gillian Jacobs has more than proven her comedic chops, first as a high school dropout on the cult TV show Community and most recently as a sex and drug addict on Judd Apatow’s Netflix series Love. This Friday, she’ll star as a member of a small improv group waiting for its big break in Mike Birbiglia’s new film Don’t Think Twice.
When it comes to her beauty routine, Jacobs evinces a bare bones, no-nonsense approach and has the gleaming, flawless visage to show for it. And though she has some sound advice (namely, drink more water…), if you’re a product junkie, you might just be the punch line of this joke.
