Jessica Alba has always been known for her effortless beauty and dedication to wellness. While vacationing in Cabo with her family, the actress shared stunning Instagram snapshots of herself relaxing on the beach, enjoying delicious food, and soaking up the sun in stylish swimsuits. But beyond the picture-perfect moments, Alba stays committed to a balanced lifestyle that keeps her feeling and looking her best. From meditation to hydration, here are five wellness secrets she swears by.
Alba makes sure to push herself when she works out. She explained how she does so with Shape Magazine. “I love my shape because it does what I want it to. If I want to go on a hike or a bike ride or go for a swim, I know my body will do everything I tell it to. I also appreciate that I can push myself through when I’m feeling tired. There’s always a little extra something to get me past the tired moments.”
Alba loves using masks on her face. “In the mornings, I put on a face mask and a thick swipe of lip balm so I can be under this layer of hydration while I’m getting my coffee,” she told Woman’s Health. “My son is always like, ‘Mommy, what’s that?’ Every time he looks over at me when I’ve got the mask on, it’s like he’s seeing me for the first time. But it reminds me that I’m allowed to take care of myself as well. It’s a little bit of tender loving care to start the day.”
Alba tells Woman’s Health that she likes to practice meditation. “When I’m feeling anxious, I hold on to a crystal and do breathing exercises and try to focus on the energy of love, kindness, and calming…Connecting to my breath calms me down. Then if I can do some kind of movement every day, in a way, that’s my meditation.”
Alba tells People that she is focused on balance when it comes to wellness. “As I’ve gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons. It’s more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect. I don’t deprive myself … I have [junk] if I want it. When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That’s not a balanced way to go about it.”
Alba tells Byrdie that she loves drinking coconut water. “I really love the health benefits that come with coconut water. I don’t drink a ton of other types of drinks. I drink coffee, tea, and coconut water—that’s it. I think staying hydrated is really important. Just making sure you do stay hydrated for glowing skin and high energy. It’s important for overall health.”
The actress and entrepreneur shared a new workout video on Instagram, showing off her impressive Pilates moves at an Alo-branded gym. Dressed in sleek black workout gear and a cap, Alba stretched and balanced on a reformer, proving she’s dedicated to her health and wellness routine. In her caption, she called it “fitness Friday” and thanked @alo, @marymillermethod, and @elsamariecollins for keeping her motivated. Fans flooded the comments with praise, admiring her strength and discipline.
