Jennifer Lopez is 53—but don’t tell her that she looks good for her age. “You never want to hear you look great for 50. You want people to just go, wow, you look amazing. ‘Oh my God, she’s 50.’ It’s like, does it matter? You’re just your best self, no matter what.”1

Even still, she admits that her impossibly youthful-looking complexion is a frequent topic of conversation. “Wherever I go, the number one question people ask is, ‘What do you do for your skin?’ Even my closest friends are like, ‘Come on, bitch, what are you doing with your skin?’”

That’s why she launched JLo Beauty, a product range inspired by her five skin essentials: sleep, sunscreen, serums, supplements and vivir sano (Spanish for “living a healthy lifestyle”). Of those, she gives sunscreen the most credit. “A dermatologist told me at a very young age to use sunscreen. That was a big part of why I was able to stay youthful-looking, because I used it as my moisturizer every single day.”2

Since then, her routine hasn’t changed—and it’s surprisingly basic. “I’ve always had a very simple skincare routine... cleanser, a little bit of a cream, sunscreen, very basic. I know there was a lot of rumours back in the day that I was into all of these expensive cleansers and I had to douse myself in La Mer and stuff like that. That really wasn’t true.”3

Here’s how Jennifer takes care of her skin, inside and out.
