Hudgens opened up about her skincare routine to New Beauty. She says that she uses a homemade face mask. “I made my Glacial Clay Mask out of necessity. I love clay masks, but they always dried my skin out…so I set out to create one that would pull out impurities, and leave my skin hydrated. I added sea kelp to reduce fine lines, and lactic acid to remove dead skin cells and even skin tone. I’m very proud of it and use it religiously.”

2. Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland and Hudgens are best friends and were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. Hyland opened up about her beauty routine to Glamour. “I think trends in general are kind of B.S. If you're comfortable in your own skin and you love the way that you look, then that’s the most important thing. If you feel good, you look good, and if you think you look good, then you feel good. I don’t think anyone else's opinion should matter on that.”

3. Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale has been best friends with Hudgens for years. The two starred in High School Musical together. Tisdale shared her secrets for incorporating movement into her day on her Instagram stories. "Taking the dogs out with the baby for a stroll, taking meeting while walking versus sitting. It's honestly what has helped my mental health as well. Having the extra energy from anxiety, just taking a walk and putting on a walking meditation always makes me feel better."

4. Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson is close friends with Hudgens. Dawson talked about her wellness secrets with EatingWell. She says that she loves spending time outside. "Spending time on our screens all day isn't natural. We're not computers, we're not robots, we are alive and need to be in the alive world around us…I'm not a big workout-y person ... but as a born-and-raised New Yorker, I'll walk 100 blocks and not even think about it…I love sleeping outdoors. I love camping and hiking. I'm big into views."

5. Alexandra Shipp

Alexandra Shipp attended Hudgens’ bachelorette party. She struggles with acne and shared her secrets in an interview with The Cut. “With cystic acne, you can feel good and then wake up looking like you had spider bites across your face. To counteract the testosterone, I try to eat things with a lot of estrogen. I eat soy. I’m vegan so that balances it too. We are what we eat. I had to figure that out. I was working so much and my skin was so bad. I only felt pretty when I was wearing makeup. My blemishes are part of me but don’t define me.”

6. Selena Gomez

Hudgens is close friends with fellow Disney star Selena Gomez. The two also starred in Spring Breakers together. In an interview on her company, Wondermind’s website, Gomez shared her advice for taking care of her mental health. “I don’t love giving advice because I don’t have all of the answers. I’d say, though, find a friend or a family member you feel comfortable talking with and open up about what you are feeling. It’s very freeing to open up to someone. There is so much strength in being vulnerable.”

Hudgens has become friends with Broadway star, Morgan Marcell. She opened up about her dance background with VC On Stage. “I started training when I was three, but I actually quit from seven to eleven. I was doing a lot of TV and film stuff. And then I got kicked out of a number in regional theater because I couldn’t tap, so I said to myself, ‘Never again!’ and went back into jazz and ballet. I trained with great teachers, day in and day out, for a year-and-a-half which was when I got the show. My training is mainly in hip-hop, ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance.”

8. GG Magree

One of Hudgens’ closest friends is DJ GG Magree. In an interview with DJ Life Magazine, Magree talked about how she recovers from long days and touring. “I surround myself with my friends and love hard on my body. Touring is super-aggressive physically and mentally, so when I’m back from a week of shows, I’ll always try take a couple mornings to work out, hike, hang out with my friends and get some early night rest. I’m pretty good at pulling myself out of dark places fast and I can thank my parents for that. They taught me a lot about mental health growing up.”

9. Monique Coleman

Hudgens worked with Monique Coleman on the High School Musical films. Coleman was also a guest at Hudgens’ wedding. In an interview with Celeb Secrets, she talked about wanting to make a difference, and shared her advice for doing so. “I think the first thing is to start with what you’re passionate about or what makes you mad. A lot of the times we’re looking for someone else to solve the things that upset us. If you’re the one who’s bothered by it, you’re a great place to start in order to help fix it.”

10. Brenda Song

Hudgens is close friends with fellow Disney star Brenda Song. She talked about her career goals with The Cut. “I want my career to be a staircase: moving up, finding jobs I love and working with people that I admire, and making a product I’m proud of,” Song said. “I think that’s all you can ask for. I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘I want to win an Oscar one day.’ For me, that’s not necessarily a goal. That’s a by-product of working on a project you’re really proud of. When I was younger it was more, I want to star in this movie, I want to work with this person. Now I just want new adventures, constant challenge, and growth.”

11. Andrew Garfield

Hudgens worked with Andrew Garfield on the film Tick, Tick…Boom! Garfield also starred in Silence and put himself on a diet and had been in a strange environment. “[I was] away from all the people I love and all the things that I love, the places and not being able to eat, not being able to go out. I didn’t really socialize, I isolated myself as much as possible,” he revealed to People. “It gave me so much clarity about what was important to me in my life, about who was important, and about what kind of food I missed and the restaurants I was excited to visit after.”

Jenna Ortega and her friends are looking good on Wednesday and every day. Here we delve into the remarkable lives of these talented individuals who have not only made a mark in the entertainment industry but also shared their personal insights on topics ranging from self-acceptance and mental health to skincare and fitness. Jenna Ortega, the renowned actress, opens up about her desire to be a role model for young girls, setting the stage for our exploration of her incredible circle of friends. From Emma Myers to Landry Bender, each personality brings a unique perspective to the table. Join us as we uncover the wisdom, routines, and experiences of these incredible individuals who inspire and empower us in their own distinct ways.

1. Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega talked about being an actress and wanting to be a role model for young girls to Harper’s Bazaar. “As a kid, I was always being told what I should and shouldn’t do — which way I should go, what would be best for me,” she said. “I thought, ‘I don’t want other young girls to look up at the screen and feel like they have to change their appearance to be deemed beautiful or worthy.’”

2. Emma Myers

Emma Myers works with Ortega on Wednesday. She tells ComingSoon.net that she learned soccer for a movie. “I never played, but I did have an interest in it growing up. But after doing a couple practice rounds and trials, I like it a lot, but nobody in my family plays soccer with me, so I ended up just kicking a ball around by myself at the time.

3. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez talked about dealing with her mental health and bad days to Wondermind.com. “Usually, the first 10 minutes of the day I can kind of gauge how my day will go. Sometimes I just must accept it’s going to be a bad day and that’s OK. We all have bad days.”

4. Aubrey Plaza

Aubrey Plaza presented an award with Ortega. She shared her skincare routine with The Cut. “It’s pretty simple, especially now that Peet Rivko exists. It’s cleanser, moisturizer, oil. Done. If I feel like I’m super hormonal or I’m having breakouts — a lot of times, because I’m an actor, I have so much makeup on my face and people are putting makeup on my face all day, and sometimes it irritates my skin — I’ll have to throw in an acne product or something like that to help me out a bit.”

5. Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci works with Ortega on Wednesday. She shared what she’d tell her younger self with The Zoe Report. “I would go back and tell my younger self to just lean into being unique and individual. When I was younger, that wasn't really that popular. There was a big push for everyone to be relatable and the girl next door. But I think now we know that lots of different kind of girls live next door for sure. So I would just tell myself to hold on and lean into being unique and it'll all work out.”

6. Jordan Fisher

Jordan Fisher is a friend of Ortega’s. He talked about revealing his eating disorder to People. "It's been really powerful," he admits. "The amount of people that have reached out just with stories of their own and how you never know what people are going through; I think that that was the thing that really stuck out to people… just a lot of love and respect and kudos in terms of taking care of business and prioritizing my health and mental health."

7. Joy Sunday

Joy Sunday is one of Ortega’s Wednesday co-stars. She shared her skincare routine to Byrdie. “I use a cleanser from La Roche Posay, lotion from CeraVe, hyaluronic acid from The Ordinary, and BHA from CosRx. Whenever I feel a zit coming on or need to look extra glowy, I use my Foreo UFO mask. For makeup, I need someone to threaten me into knowing how to do makeup. I wish I could beat my face. The only thing I can do is a cat eye.”

Gwendoline Christie is another of Ortega’s Wednesday co-stars. Her trainer, Dalton Wong, shared her fitness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. “We focused on various types of postural training focusing on hips and bum, core, shoulders and back. We implemented my mini band and glider programme to do daily at home to help improve her hips and core strength.”

9. Naomi J Ogawa

Ortega’s Wednesday co-star, Naomi J. Ogawa, shared her skincare routine to Grazia. “I like to keep my beauty routine very simple. When it comes to skincare, I like using a gentle cleanser and if I feel like my skin needs some more TLC, I’ll pop on a hydrating face mask. It’s so easy to get carried away with using a bunch of different creams and serums but I like to stick to two that work for my skin type. I use the SkinCeuticals redness neutraliser and Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. They’re a bit of a splurge but they honestly work wonders for my skin and a small amount of product goes a long way. I’m also obsessed with pimple patches as I have acne prone skin. The minute I see a spot emerging, I pop a sticker on to not even give it a chance of life. If I feel like my face is puffy, I like to Gua Sha my face and give it a little massage to get the circulation going and give myself a little lymphatic drainage. I do love to keep my skin moisturised, so after I take a shower I lotion up my body with e45 cream. I always put my hair up in a bun using my silk hair scrunchies that my friend gifted me (thank you Pria) as I like to keep my hair out of my face when I sleep.”

10. Catherine Zeta Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Ortega’s mom on Wednesday. She talked about her diet to The Wall Street Journal. “I always eat breakfast; I’m not one of those people who can skip it. I have a go-to breakfast that happens every day. Right now, I’ve just switched. In the winter months, I have porridge with banana, brown sugar and berries. Come daylight savings, when we spring forward, I switch to my nonfat Greek yogurt with my berries and my granola.”

11. Landry Bender

Landry Bender is a friend of Ortega’s. She protested this summer during the SAG-AFTRA Strike, and shared this post on Instagram from it. Bender captioned the post, “I strike for the 10 year old me that joined the union and the 80 year old me that hopes to still be working. The majority of @sagaftra member’s job is simply AUDITIONING for the next job - and the majority of members don’t qualify for health insurance. (please consider donating to @sagaftrafound!) We marched this morning for unions in every field - we need fair wages and contracts. My favorite quote today from @msjoelyfisher: ‘What you are doing right now is bigger than any role you’ll ever play.’”
