She could also be eternally engrained in our popular culture psyche as Stephanie Tannner from Full Home, however Jodie Sweetin has a mild reminder for followers: “I’m an previous woman! I’m not a child!” the 41-year-old laughs over Zoom whereas discussing her newest partnership with Align Probiotic. The marketing campaign focuses largely on the “bloating bond” between followers and, sure, Sweetin texts on the common in regards to the subject with Full Home co-star and shut pal Andrea Barber relating to the subject. We just lately caught up with the mom-of-two to speak store on the topic, and what it’s actually like growing old within the public eye.

I’m certain you’re requested to companion with manufacturers a ton. Why is that this one natural for you?

Jodie: Look, I’m 41 now; I’ll be 42 in January. My physique simply doesn’t course of issues the way in which it used to. I was like, “Oh, give me all of the cheese, all of the dairy, all of the sweets and sugar and no matter, I’ll be wonderful. Now I do it, and I’m instantly saying: “Oh my gosh, I really feel like an expanded balloon. This isn’t snug. I don’t really feel good. I don’t have my stretchy pants on. This isn’t working for me.”

I used to be trying into completely different probiotics and issues like that, and when I discovered a line with the bloating aid and meals digestion, I used to be like, “That’s precisely what I would like.” I actually wanted one thing that simply helps my physique course of issues somewhat bit higher, relieves the bloating, all that form of stuff.

It’s humorous, as a result of I used to be really in hair and make-up engaged on a mission just lately, and we had gotten new caterers, and everyone had had some meals. It was scrumptious meals! However it was heavy consolation meals—the form of meals that doesn’t really feel nice if you’re in a black robe and making an attempt to look good….

Evidently, I used to be telling everyone about my Align probiotic. I actually really feel like I’m in a business, however I inform everybody about it. [laughs] However that’s the way it works: All the finest recommendation you discover when you’re in hair and make-up, if you’re on the nail salons, the hair salons, the barber outlets—that’s the place you get the good things!

So I shared the good things with the staff: “You guys, it’s actually helped. Like I don’t really feel bloated. It’s actually helped me so I can eat issues and never really feel gross once more.”

A strong testimonial. 

Jodie: Let me inform you…on Thanksgiving, it was clutch as a result of I don’t eat like that usually. Hear, I’m not, by any means, a wonderfully wholesome eater. I’m not a salad lover, let’s put it that means. However this has been key in serving to me be capable to eat what I like and never have to fret about feeling bloated and gassy and simply ugh after I eat it. It was undoubtedly a game-changer on Thanksgiving!”

Clearly, you’ve been doing this for some time, do you have got any magnificence tips that you’ve got discovered through the years which have caught with you?

Jodie: This isn’t a brand new trick, however it’s one which I discovered just lately: I began actually being observant of how a lot water I drink, as a result of I really like espresso. That’s just about what I drink…however I lastly mentioned: “You understand, possibly I ought to begin consuming extra water.” My pores and skin cleared up! Which is big, as a result of I used to be having crazy-weird cystic zits, all these things. However simply with consuming water, with taking probiotics, with taking nutritional vitamins, I’ve observed such a distinction! I’ve to snort as a result of it’s so fundamental to drink extra water, however it’s additionally game-changing.

Sure, I’m the identical means. I frequently have three chilly brews earlier than midday.

Jodie: Identical. I’m a human espresso filter at this level. That actually can’t be good.

Are there any skin-care merchandise that you just just lately found that you just love?

Jodie: Nicely, I simply began touring with the little Evian face sprays. Every time I might journey earlier than, my pores and skin would get so dry and I felt terrible. I now carry a kind of little issues with me and I’ll spray my face after I’m on the aircraft. That’s a game-changer. I additionally actually love TULA skincare—one other probiotic!—and it’s a line that’s been actually nice for my pores and skin. It actually helped clear it up.

Additionally, I’m into the crimson gentle remedy. I’ve somewhat small LED-light factor that I exploit each time I begin feeling a breakout or one thing approaching. It undoubtedly helps. I’ve additionally observed that since I began with the probiotics and stuff, my total physique system simply is flushing issues out higher and is functioning somewhat extra easily.

I do know you referred to your birthday developing and that was my subsequent query: Are followers, and other people usually, typically shocked that you’re in your 40s?

Jodie: Sure! It’s humorous, as a result of I take it as an enormous praise. However there have been situations the place I’ve been with my children out on trip and persons are like, “Oh, are your dad and mom sleeping in?” I’m like, “No, no. I’m the guardian.” [laughs] I feel rising up in individuals’s minds—particularly in case you had been a child that watched the present—needs to be kind of complicated. I’ve met dad and mom that say to their children, “That is the lady from Full Home.” And the youngsters are taking a look at me like, “That’s an previous woman. That’s not a child. I don’t know who that’s, however that’s not Stephanie.”

Now, since Fuller Home took place, I feel individuals acquired somewhat extra used to seeing me as an grownup, however for some time there…there was undoubtedly an in-between section the place individuals hadn’t seen me. They had been like, “Wait, you’re not 13 anymore?”

I feel it’s in all probability extra that the followers don’t wish to suppose that we’re getting older.

Jodie: I do know I don’t! I’ve 13- and 15-year-old daughters and I’m like, “I’m unsure how this occurred as a result of I’m nonetheless 30!” I don’t know what has occurred…they’re getting older, I’m clearly not.
