Jennifer Lopez has always been very active on several projects at once. She is inspiring in her own ways for more than one reason – she can do it all, be powerful and still look young at 40-something.
Most recently, she has found time to create her own skin care line which is going to come out this year.
She announced that she has been working on a skin care collection for a long time. J.Lo also said that she didn’t want to put just anything out – which probably means that this collection will be special.
On the premiere of the movie Second Act, the crowd cheered when she shared the news.
This announcement was a response to a question about her skin care routines. She said that she often gets that question as she gets older but that she wants her new collection to be a response to that – revealing what she knows about beauty and her secrets at once. Jennifer also joked that it had nothing to do with needles.
There are no details out yet on the products or anything else related to the collection but she did say that this will be something that works and that her fans can count on that.
But what about her current beauty habits? This beloved actress, producer and singer certainly looks much better than most women her age.
Read on to learn more about her routines and the ways she stays healthy and youthful.
Jennifer Lopez’s favorite beauty products
Jennifer now looks better than ever – and it was obvious when she was on the cover of InStyle, posing half nude. She is now 49 years old and she still remains beautiful and youthful. If there was someone on this planet who didn’t know about her, they would have guessed that she’s not much older than 30.
The reason is simple – she maintains a healthy lifestyle and uses good but affordable products that any of us could try.
Here are some of her favorite products:
Inglot Lipstick in Hibiscus color which costs under $20 and looks amazing with her skin tone and undertones. She adores this lipstick and carries it with her wherever she goes.
She also uses the Iconic London Sculpt and Boost Eyebrow Cushion ($40) which is a cushion dispensary for pigmented shades which look absolutely natural and don’t smudge even a little bit.
She loves Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream which costs under $50. This is a rich cream which keeps the pores clean and makes your skin look good and fresh as well as glowing.
Another lipstick she adores is the Tarte Color Splash Lipstick in Siesta, a nude lipstick which suits her perfectly and fits her love for nude lipsticks.
She also uses Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palette which is affordable. Her makeup artist includes three powders and a formula for glow in her makeup routine.
Melt Cosmetics Rust Stack eyeshadows are a favorite as well because they mirror the smokey eye.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder is a translucent powder for the T-zone that her makeup artist always uses for concerts.
Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is an applicator which can be used for contouring and concealing.
She also uses a Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve lip balm which smells great and keeps her lips moist even with multiple lipstick changes.
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist is a fine spray which boosts hydration and refreshes the skin after the blending and mattifying.
Dior Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation is one of her most used foundations which gives a matte look but still makes the skin vibrant and glowy. It’s light and with a dramatic blush and bronzer looks even better.
Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream is an important part of her makeup routine because it prepares the skin by nourishing it.
Some of these products are very affordable to an average person while some would take a bit more budgeting. But to recreate the classic Lopez style, all you need is good skin care and some nude lipstick to seal the deal.
Jennifer Lopez’s skin routine
So, how does she maintain her healthy appearance? Which products does she use?
The answer may not be so simple and it also may require more work and dedication than just cashing out for a new product.
Here is how J.Lo stays young:
- She works out regularly
J.Lo is excellent at keeping to her routine and keeping it fresh at all times over the years. Some days she likes to do stair sprints, some days she does dance cardio with her personal trainer and some days she workouts to blast her body. She’s also not afraid to be silly and do all kinds of things to make it fun. But most of all, she is dedicated to exercising every day and getting up early to do it. This helps her skin stay fresh and stress doesn’t build up as much which makes it easier for her to stay youthful.
- She does daily affirmations
She uses the power of positive thinking to boost her confidence and make sure that stress doesn’t follow her around. J.Lo repeats her affirmations daily and says that age is all in your mind.
- She uses a facial oil
Her makeup artist says that J.Lo. is a big fan of Själ’s Saphir Concentrate which is a facial oil which contains aquamarine, retinol, blue chamomile, and various other elements.
- She drinks her H2Os
Jennifer Lopez doesn’t drink alcohol and opts for water instead. She says that this is what she mostly drinks without even counting it. Another thing she noted was very important is that she gets between 6 and 8 hours of sleep every night and she doesn’t stay long in the sun. All of this helps the skin stay healthy on the inside, which is always more important.
- She eats healthy
J.Lo. eats healthy foods and works with a nutritionist to figure out what’s best for her metabolism. She eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, nothing artificial, dyed or processed. J.Lo always eats 30 minutes after waking up and never cuts her portions. She eats 3 full meals and 2 snacks every day. Plus, she never counts calories.
All of these are not products but a steady regiment she uses to stay young and beautiful even with her age. Skin that’s healthy on the inside is easier to maintain.
What skin products does Jennifer Lopez’s use?
Even though her lifestyle is as healthy as it can be – or precisely because of it – Jennifer also relies on some proven products like:
Glycolic acid which works as an exfoliator for the skin. It removes dead skin and resurfaces the skin as well. Glycolic acid also promotes cell turnover which is perfect if your skin is damaged by the sun. It will give you a healthy glow.
Jennifer Lopez never sunbathes and stays in the sun too much. UV exposure simply kills collagen which we need to stay youthful and vibrant. She avoids the sun as much as possible and believes in wearing SPF at all times when outside.
She never drinks, smokes or drinks coffee. All of these things deteriorate our look as we grow older. If you want to recreate her healthy looks, use this method. It’s very simple yet so hard.
She sleeps enough which keeps her skin looking fresh and vibrant. J.Lo recommends at least 8 hours.
She uses La Mer moisturizer as well as Dr Hauschka’s Rose Day Cream which you can buy in Whole Foods. Both of these feed and nurture her skin before all of that makeup comes into the picture which is very important if you want to make sure that the makeup doesn’t damage your skin.
She cleanses her face regularly. We all know how important cleansing twice a day is – especially if you want to look good. But she often can’t stress it enough and says that she always takes all of her makeup off before sleep, in the morning and after a workout. This helps her keep a healthy glow and a clean skin that looks amazing.
Some of these tips involve products that Jen uses at all times. If you want to recreate her timeless and ageless look, these could help you out. However, she is always very firm in her stance that it is her healthy and mindful lifestyle that keeps her looking young and not mainly the products she is using.
So, jump on board and embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Jennifer Lopez definitely has a great year in front of her: despite being almost 50 she looks barely 30, her music and movies are amazing and her new skin care line is about to see the light of day. She definitely has a lot on her plate but she keeps her own well-being as a top priority which is, along with routines and healthy lifestyle, what keeps her healthy and beautiful.
