You know Nikki Reed as the actress from The Twilight Saga and from the cult hit Thirteen. But she's just as much an environmentalist as she is a film star. In fact, she recently founded BaYou with Love, a lifestyle brand focused on sustainable, ethical jewelry, apparel, home and beauty.
Being as conscious of what she puts on her body as what she puts in it has been an important part of her life for years. Although it became especially important when she became a mother in 2017.
Given her passion for all things natural, holistic, beauty and wellness, we wanted to find out about the actress turned entrepreneur's beauty must-haves. Keep reading for a look at how she keeps her skin clear and refreshed.

"For many years we emphasized the importance of what we put in our bodies, but not what we put on our bodies. I was searching for clean beauty long before it was trendy in the marketplace, which meant there were few options to choose from and I fell in love with Kjaer Weis from day one. I have loved watching the brand perfect their formulas over the years. Finding an organic mascara that creates full lashes, doesn't run down your face and doesn't contain scary toxic ingredients is challenging, but this one checks all the boxes. I will never use another mascara again."
"Getting enough sleep at night is the cornerstone of my beauty routine. I can't live without this organic non-melatonin sleep supplement from Genexa, which helps me fall asleep and wake up feeling so well-rested the next day. Just like the rest of Genexa's medicine, Sleepology is made with only clean ingredients so you'll never find any artificial fillers and binders in their products. I am very passionate about cleaning up our homeopathic remedies and over-the-counter medicine we put into our bodies and in our kids' bodies."
"I swear by this serum. It is made consciously in small batches using high quality ingredients and follows a biodynamic harvesting calendar. I also love that all of the products are offered in refillable bags to minimize plastic use. It changed my skin for the better and I love that it's super hydrating, but also easily absorbed so my skin isn't left feeling greasy."
"Red light is one of the most important parts of wellness, but very few people know the benefits! Our bodies are constantly bombarded with blue light as we literally and metaphorically navigate this digital age and red light holds the key to combating that. I use my red light when I wake up and before bed. It helps support our natural circadian rhythm, decreases anxiety, resets our nervous system and has mega skin benefits. The portable device is great because it literally fits in your purse so sometimes I find myself using it midday between meetings."
