Jenna Dewan's Must Haves: From a $6 Cream to a Luxury Mattress

You don't always have to pay a pretty penny to get something that works. Case in point: the Aquaphor Healing Ointment ($7). Dewan always keeps a tube on hand. "Aquaphor for everything," she tells POPSUGAR. She puts it on dry skin, her kids' bug bites — you name it. "I feel like it's a cure-all."

Pro tip: As evidenced by Dewan's testimonial, Aquaphor can be used for a myriad of things — from smoothing hair flyaways to healing new tattoos and moisturising cuticles. This is because it's an emollient and contains nourishing ingredients that create a protective barrier on the skin, allowing oxygen to flow to the area to optimise healing.

Dewan says a really good mattress is worth its weight in gold. "That's something you can really splurge on," she says. "You use it every single night." And by now, we all know the importance of beauty sleep. To find your match made in sleep heaven, Dewan recommends shopping the old-fashioned way. "I physically go to a mattress store and I lay in them."

She swears by her Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress ($4899). "When I switched and got a good mattress, my sleep got better," she says. "It's expensive but worth it." And to elevate her night even more, she uses the Sleepme Ooler Sleep System ($1,599) on top of it.

Pro tip: The Sleepme Ooler Sleep System helps you control the temperature of your bed, making it colder or hotter as desired. Experts say anywhere from 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit is an ideal room temperature for a restful night's sleep, but that can vary from person to person. This system can be set between 55 to 115 degrees.

In the morning, Dewan starts her day with two key beverages: hot water with lemon, followed by coffee. Then she goes into her skin-care routine — it's something she takes very seriously. After a bad experience with a laser treatment left her with melasma on her face, she swears by vitamin C serums to fight hyperpigmentation. "I'm obsessed with the Neostrata 15% Vitamin C and PHA Serum ($55)," she says. "It's really changed my skin a lot."

Pro tip: If you have melasma or hyperpigmentation on your face of any kind from acne or the sun, consistent use of vitamin C can help fade the discoloration. But that's not all: it's imperative you protect your skin from the sun, as it can worsen these conditions, by using an SPF of 30 or higher every day.

To wind down after a long day, Dewan loves an Epsom salt bath. "Just by myself — [it's] a self-care bath," she says. To instantly elevate a regular bath, she says, "essential oils make all the difference." For bath salts, try something like the Dr Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soak ($6).

"I try not to take my phone in the bathroom and I just sit there and listen to music or read — just something other than look at the phone," she says.

Pro tip: There are tiny tweaks you can make to elevate your bath ritual. Incorporating Epsom salts, as Dewan recommends, is just one example. She also likes to use a waterproof neck pillow to make the space more comfortable. Lighting some candles is also a great way to mimic a luxurious spa at home.

Dewan's travel must have is a new discovery that she used on her flight to New York City. It's the Drowsy Silk Sleep Mask ($79) and now, she can't imagine going anywhere without it. "It's thick and wraps around your head," she says. "You look a little bit like a pretty bug, but it works so good. This is a game changer."

Pro tip: If you have trouble sleeping on a long flight, a sleep mask like this can help block out light, allowing you to hit REM more easily. Dewan's hack for peak relaxation vibes: "Put your headphones in and you're just zoned out." Ear plugs are also great for this if it's particularly noisy. The Drowsy mask is made from silk, which is gentler on your skin and hair, reducing frizz and any uncomfortable tugging.
