Jennifer Lopez has long been hailed as the queen of effortless aging. From her lithe moves to her gorgeous dresses and elegant styling at red carpet events, this singer-cum-actress is always in the spotlight. In fact, J.Lo has often shared completely make-up-free videos, and let’s just say that her beauty and charm radiate from within. Are you curious about her skincare secrets? We’ve managed to find them out for you!
For those of you who follow her on social media, this may not come as a shock, but J.Lo is perhaps one of the loudest supporters of her brand JLo Beauty. In a little personal video on Instagram, she recently opened up about her skincare practices.
One of the biggest takeaways from her skincare habits—a dermatologist-approved one, that too—is using SPF regularly. Talking to her followers on Instagram, she said, “I’ve been wearing sunscreen everyday since I was in my very early 20s.” In a conversation with POPSUGAR, she explained the reason behind it, saying “A dermatologist told me at a very young age to use sunscreen, and I was like, ‘What do I need sunscreen for? I live in New York.’ But the truth is, that was a big part of why I was able to stay youthful looking, because I used it as my moisturizer every single day. It helped me protect myself from the elements, and enough people don’t understand that such a big part of staying youthful looking is using sunscreen every day.”
When she’s not shooting or working, she believes in keeping it really low-key with her makeup. That means rocking the little-to-no-makeup look like a little ode to Jenny from the Block. On days that she does get dolled up, she claims she NEVER sleeps in makeup. J.Lo always, always takes her makeup off and uses night creams to keep her skin hydrated. She follows this up with at least eight hours of sleep to give her body the chance to rejuvenate. And while that’s extremely important for keeping her skin looking healthy, it’s not what we were shocked by.
Turns out, there’s a kitchen staple she absolutely loves – olive oil! In a statement shared with GRAZIA USA, she said, “My mom used to say that olive oil was the cure-all for everything. And it’s a secret I’ve used over the years because it really does work. Whenever my hair, skin, or nails were dry, I’d go back to olive oil.”
She’s such an ardent believer in the power of olive oil that she also made it the hero ingredient in one of her product ranges—the JLo Beauty® Olive Complex—a blend of squalane, fermented olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, and olive leaf extract.
Well, there you have it – J.Lo’s big secret to gorgeous skin, using just a household staple!
