The secrets to ageless skin from Jen Aniston

Is it just me or has Jennifer Aniston not aged since like, 1998? From her days as Rachel Green in the sitcom Friends to her recent red carpet appearances with hubby (and mega babe) Justin Theroux, the 46-year-old Hollywood actress has always had glowing skin (not to mention trend-setting hairstyles – ‘The Rachel’ was a 90s must-have!). So, what’s the secret to her seemingly ageless skin? Well, Jen recently spoke to Goop (you know, gal pal Gwyneth’s completely realistic and totally relatable ‘blog’) and spilled her secrets.

When it comes to her skin, there are two key factors – hydration and sleep! “I drink smartwater all day every day!” Plus, she also ensures she doesn’t spend too much time in the sun. Jen also adds that, “Being happy is a key to looking and feeling younger.” Sounds easy right?
Well, she also tells Goop that her daily routine involves starting every day with a good, solid breakfast, meditation and taking a good multivitamin. And her fitness regimen? “I like to mix it up with some Power Yoga, treadmill, elliptical machine and low weight training.” This all sounds pretty achievable for us regular humans! She’s just so damn relatable! #teamJen
The one thing that the Hollywood superstar does that might not be so realistic for the rest of us is how she chooses to reboot, telling Goop, “When I’m really wiped out it’s time to go on a trip. I have my go-to places in warm climates and sandy beaches like Mexico that really allow me to relax and get on track.” Talk about living the dream! Jen also says she “likes massages and spa treatments” and mentions she’s tried all sorts of “weird facials”. That’s right up our alley!
If you’re not blessed with seemingly unchanging and flawless skin like Jen, there are a few products you can try to get you closer to that perfect complexion. We love Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream, Skin Physics Bee Venom Anti-Ageing Moisturiser and L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler [HA] Revolumising Serum.

I definitely stay out of the sun as much as possible. I use a good 50SPF sunscreen all year long and use good moisturisers. I am 47 and get mistaken for my 21 year old daughter's sister. People are either lying or I'm doing something right.

Jennifer has amazing skin, she looks a picture of health. I love using serums and wrinkle creams to help me combat and manage ageing skin.

Yes she might get sleep work out and eat properly. I do have a bit of problem l stay out of the sun then goes to some where warm. But some of the realistic photos of her lately shows she is aging along with the rest of us. Please give us a break!

This is a bit hypocritical... "she also ensures she doesn’t spend too much time in the sun" but if she needs to chill out she has... "my go-to places in warm climates and sandy beaches like Mexico that really allow me to relax and get on track.”
Hmmm...

I am a massive Jennifer Aniston fan and envy her looks so much! The only thing I disagree with in this article is that she "tries not to spend much time in the sun", I would sacrifice my skin for some good times in the sun - but I just make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen! I agree with Jen; sleep and hydration are the key!

I suspect that genetics play a big part in how someone ages.

Sunscreen, sleep and hydration!

I think focusing on preventing fine lines and wrinkles in the first instance rather than looking to treat them later on in life is key. Sunscreen, plenty of water, a thorough skin care regime targeted towards your individual skin needs and a clean diet works well.

She makes it seem so easy to achieve but does require a good routine which is difficult for me nowadays

Drink lots of water and never go without sunscreen.

I love when celebs says, "I drink lots of water, eat healthy and wear SPF.", but really it's daily oxygen facials and gazillion dollars an ounce skin cream. Whatever it is, it's working because she looks fantastic.

She does look so lovely for her age. Good on her! It's actually fun to take care of your skin I've found as I have gotten older but I didn't like it when I was young - too much bother then, but, I did wear a sunscreen since I was a teen and I think that was a very good thing.

She's still got heavy lines now up close especially forehead so I don't believe she hasn't aged

Love her she is amazing. My anti ageing tips are to use sunscreen, a hat and always cleanse and moisturise to suit your skin type.
