The 36-year-old actress - who co-founded the eco-friendly brand in 2011 - has admitted she will "lather" her skin in the Face and Body Lotion in Dreamy Lavendar from her own label after a bath to help her chill out after a long day.

Speaking to Parachute Online about her skincare essentials, the brunette beauty said: "After bath time, I lather up with [The Honest Company]'s Face and Body Lotion in Dreamy Lavender. It's made with naturally derived essential lavender oils and it helps me relax after a long day."

The style icon makes sure she stays hydrated before she goes to sleep, and will also take a few vitamins every day.

She said: "You will never catch me without a glass jug of water next to my bed.

"As well as The Honest Company's Prenatal Once Daily Vitamins."

The 'Fantastic Four' star will then "curl up" and unwind with a good book before she dozes off.

She said: "Then I love to curl up with a good book and read to unwind before going to bed."

And at the moment Jessica - who has daughters Honor, nine, Haven, six, and is pregnant with her third child with husband Cash Warren - has been swatting up on motherhood as she has been reading pregnancy books as well as mystery novels.

She continued: "Right now there's a pregnancy book and mystery novel."

Although Jessica leads a busy lifestyle as she juggles her acting career and business with motherhood, she always tries to make time to "be present" and enjoy special moments with her family when she is not working.

She said: "Be present. When you're at the office, focus on work - and when you're at home, focus on spending quality time with your family."

And Jessica believes the key to being a successful entrepreneur is to "trust your gut" and to persevere with whatever project you set your mind to.

She said: "Always trust your gut. Never underestimate the power of perseverance. Nothing worth having comes easy."
