Skai Jackson is in her nostalgia era. At just 22-years old, the actress and multihyphenate has accomplished more in her life than most — having starred in projects like “Liberty Kid,” “Bunk’d,” and Disney’s hit original series, “Jessie,” all while garnering a legion of over 20 million fans across her social media profiles.

Now, Jackson’s paying homage to her earlier years in Hollywood through a special campaign with Band-Aid, which draws inspiration from a commercial she shot with the brand at just five-years old. In celebration of Band-Aid’s iconic jingle turning 50 this year, Jackson has teamed up with the iconic label to reboot its beloved “Stuck on You” anthem through a more modern lens.

“Band-Aid actually reached out to me because they’re doing this new jingle and they thought it would be so fun to recreate our old times together from when I was five-years old. Immediately, I was like, ‘Yes, this has to happen.’ I was so on board,” Jackson tells PS in an exclusive interview. “I’m so excited to get to introduce this new jingle with them [Band-Aid], make some fun TikTok videos, and also encourage other people to make their own videos, because I’m going to be looking at all of them and stitching them together.”

Harnessing her social media presence, Jackson’s revamped jingle has the same catchy sensibilities as its predecessor, but with a reformed format that’s made to be reimagined, so other TikTok users can also hop in on the trend with their own renditions of the song.

We spoke with Jackson about her new “full-circle” Band-Aid partnership, how she approaches content creation, and all of the products she can’t live without — from an affordable brow gel to a logo Louis Vuitton travel bag and more.

ulta.comSkai Jackson’s Affordable Must HaveJackson says that even on a bad makeup day, she’ll still feel confident and put-together so long as she has this NYX Clear The Brow Glue Laminating Setting Gel ($10) on hand. “I use that product every single day,” Jackson jokes. “My eyebrows kind of go whatever way they want to go, and I actually wanted to get my eyebrows laminated, but this eyebrow gel gives you that lamination look — they keep my eyebrow shape in tact and the hairs do not move at all throughout the day.”

Pro Tip: Because it’s a stickier formula, some users recommend applying this as the last step in your makeup routine to ensure you don’t get any unwanted powder mixed into it.

target.comSkai Jackson’s Morning-Routine Must HaveWhile her schedule often changes, Jackson says that having a hot cup of this Yogi Ginger Tea ($4) is essential for kicking off her day on the right note. “I always like to drink tea because it’s warm on the stomach and ginger is really good for you, so for someone like me who has a low-immune system, it helps to give me that energy,” says Jackson.

Pro Tip: Besides drinking tea, Jackson notes that she’s an early riser and has a pretty regimented morning routine, which includes taking her dog for a walk and working out.

amazon.comSkai Jackson’s Nighttime Must HaveAccording to Jackson, she “can’t remember” the last time she ever slept without this Satin Hair Bonnet ($3). “Wearing a bonnet has always been something that I’ve known, since I was like two-years old. Me personally, [I find that] sleeping on things like cotton will dry your hair out, so I always want to keep my hair hydrated — and that’s the main reason that I like wearing this,” says Jackson.

Pro Tip: Besides its health benefits, Jackson also notes that wearing this accessory ensures she doesn’t wake up with her hair “all over the place,” and that it’s especially useful for those with thicker, more tangle-prone hair types.

amazon.comSkai Jackson’s Travel Must HaveWhenever she’s working on set or traveling, Jackson considers these Band-Aid Ourtone Adhesive Bandages ($12, originally $14) to be a huge essential. “I’m always working, whether that’s making a TikTok or just filming something, so it’s really important for me to use a Band-Aid that’s close to my skin tone so that no one even recognizes it,” Jackson explains.

Pro Tip: Jackson struggles with getting dry, cracked skin while she’s traveling, which is why she says that Band-Aids are especially important whenever she’s on an airplane. “I feel like being on a plane or traveling can make your hands dry, and that’s why I have to use my Band-Aids. Whenever my hands get dry, I end up getting a finger cut or something happens, and that’s where the Ourtone Band-Aids come into play,” says Jackson. The actress also recommends keeping a hydrating moisturizer handy, too.

us.louisvuitton.comSkai Jackson’s Investment Must HaveDon’t let the price tag scare you — according to Jackson, this luxurious Louis Vuitton Speedy Cloth Handbag ($1,550) is worth the splurge. The actress loves the handbag’s deep interior space which “fits everything” and provides plenty of room for storing larger items like laptops, shoes, and even extra clothes, if needed. “I’m always a fan of vintage designers and I love Louis Vuitton, it’s one of my favorites; I feel like their [bags] are a really good investment because they go up in price over time,” says Jackson.

Pro Tip: Jackson likes to keep a few essentials handy in her travel bag, including items like tea, Band-Aid bandages, and a nourishing facial moisturizer.
