John Tucker‘s skincare routine is to die for.
While Jesse Metcalfe is now the founder of Nutrl Skin — and gets asked “all the time” about his beauty secrets — he didn’t always have such a flawless complexion.
“When you’re struggling with acne, I mean, there’s literally nothing worse. It really erodes your self-confidence,” the star tells Page Six Style, saying he often battled breakouts as a teenager (and again in his twenties, when he got his start in the entertainment industry).
Through that journey, Metcalfe gleaned “a lot of knowledge about skincare,” inspiring him to launch a gender-neutral line free of silicones, parabens and fragrances (and that’s won stamps of approval from fellow famous folks like Michael Strahan and Tamron Hall).
“I think people use a lot of these buzzwords … and they’re basically lying to the consumer,” says Metcalfe. “And that’s why I developed this line — because I wanted something that was simple but effective.”
Skincare isn’t the only part of his wellness routine he’s perfected, however; Metcalfe says he’s in the “best shape of [his] life” at 47.
“It’s a lot of pressure,” he adds of Hollywood’s beauty standards. “Not only just keeping your skin clear and fresh and trying to look youthful, but also staying in shape.”
After all, the star’s been in the spotlight since the early 2000s, when he shot to fame in “John Tucker Must Die” — a cult-classic film that just might get a sequel someday.
“There is a script, and it’s over at 20th Century [Studios],” Metcalfe tells us. “I’ve read [it] and I think it’s pretty good, but [it] hasn’t really gotten over the finish line just yet.”
While we wait with bated breath for a potential second movie, shop Metcalfe’s ultimate favorite things below, from skincare to the sneakers he has in practically every color.
