Actress Jessica Alba says that there is a strong link between looking beautiful and feeling good.

The `Good Luck Chuck` star was told by her mother as a child that physical beauty stems from inner resolve, reports contactmusic.com.

"Beauty reflects your inner strength and your best self, whether you have make-up and hair done or not. I take the 10 minutes (true story!) of my morning make-up routine to check in and remind myself that I've got this - whatever 'this' is,` Alba told Cosmopolitan magazine.
