Actress, artist and devoted Somme Institute fan, Gillian Zinser, uses our Regimen for clear, glowing skin. We’re obsessed with her style (check out her recent feature on The Coveteur where she shares some of her vintage pieces and prized possessions like her hat collection) and her flawless beauty looks! Today she shares some of her best beauty tips and tricks with us.

“I’m absolutely sworn over – the products are BRILLIANT – my skin’s clearer and smoother in texture than any time I can remember before.”

What is your favorite Somme Institute product?

GZ: I especially love the Transport pads! My skin is really pale and sensitive but constantly congested, so it’s hard for me to find a gentle yet effective enough exfoliant. This product is the perfect balance for me.

What is your daily beauty routine in the AM/PM?

GZ: I wash my face and follow with a vitamin C serum and sunscreen in the am and wash, exfoliate and moisturize at night. I also drink a few ounces of aloe vera juice daily which really helps to keep my skin clear, and try not to wear makeup if I’m not working.

What are some of the best beauty tips and tricks you’ve learned?

GZ: Don’t over pluck, never pick, sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen, and keep hydrated with lots of water throughout the day!

We hear you love shopping in your mom’s closet. Any beauty tips that she has passed along to you as well?

GZ: keep it simple – less is more!

Any red carpet beauty looks that you’ve done?

GZ: I honestly never feel comfortable in a ton of makeup, so i tend to stick to a fresh, bare face with bright lips when I’m feeling fancy!

When do you feel the most beautiful?

GZ: When I’m creating!

You eat mostly whole, raw foods. What does a day of eating typically look like for you?

GZ: I’m a huge believer that we can balance our bodies, minds and moods through a simple, natural diet so i eat mostly whole, organic foods, juice a ton, and when I can i cook most of my meals at home, ‘The Esalen cookbook’ and ‘Superfoods Cookbook’ are two of my favorite sources for recipes.

From convincing Catt Sadler to hand over a super-cute Stylestalker dress to inspiring Emily Schuman to let go of the DVF number she wore on her book cover, Closet Rich‘s Elizabeth Kott has a knack for collecting covetable closet cast-offs in the name of charity. Her latest target is Gillian Zinser of 90210 fame.

The 90210 star gave us the lowdown on what inspires her.

You probably know Gillian Zinser best as 90210’s resident surfer girl, Ivy. Her character’s Cali cool style is certainly enviable, as is the actress’s own edgy look. Gillian hosted an event with Urban Outfitters and MinkPink in Los Angeles last week (“I love collaborating with movers and shakers and anyone wild enough to push the borders,” she explains), and we were able to ask her about all things fashion.

What three words would you use to describe your personal style?
Quirky, mindless, and moody.

How does your look differ from Ivy’s?
Ivy’s style is truly Californian and bohemian. My own is all over the place and doesn’t belong in a niche.

What was your favorite outfit as a teen?
I’ve always been a jeans and a T-shirt kind of kid!

Where do you like to shop?
Topshop, flea markets, vintage stores, and my mom’s closet.

Who are your style icons?
I’m inspired by anyone who’s honest in their own expression, people who truly beat to the rhythm of their own drum. I love the way little kids dress themselves! They’re completely carefree about how others perceive them.

What’s the one piece of clothing or accessory you can’t live without?
Chapstick!

What has been your best Halloween costume?
Jem and the Holograms.

What fall trend are you most excited about?
Layers!
