Constance Wu stars in what may be this summer’s guilty pleasure, the film adaptation of “Crazy Rich Asians,” which will be in theaters Aug. 15. She is also known for her role as Jessica Huang in the TV comedy series “Fresh Off the Boat.”

Off screen, Ms. Wu, who is 36 and is from Richmond, Va., would love to channel Jennifer Lopez — in beauty choices, at least. Find out why she has “flighty” issues with her hair and why it’s all about the J.Lo glow.

Skin Care

First thing: I chug a bunch of water, and then I usually do something pretty simple. You know those Neutrogena makeup wipes? I use either those or just water. I follow that with Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum. I shop at Sephora a lot because they’re really cool about letting you try things out. This was a recommended product there, so I gave it a go and loved it.

Then I use La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream. The first time I heard about La Mer was in middle school, and I read that J.Lo used it. I didn’t always use it, but once I started making money, I was like, “I can actually afford to treat myself.” To me, skin care is a pleasure.
