Is it just us 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, the actress has always had glowing skin (not to mention trend-setting hairstyles – ‘The Rachel’ was a 90s must-have!). So, what’s the secret? Well, Jen recently spoke to Goop (you know, gal pal Gwyneth’s completely realistic and totally relatable ‘blog’) and spilled her strategies.

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!
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. Her personal favourite face moisturiser? The Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturiser with SPF 15.
What’s the top skin care tip you give your friends?
Water is a good one, smart or not
Whole food plant based diet (heaps of raw fruits daily, heaps of raw veg)and spf. Learned my lesson and saw insanely amazing skin transformation on better obviously.
My best tip I’d give my friends (and I have) is give them a bottle of my amazing cleanser.
She’s an angel
lol yeah TUD – maybe she sits under one of those resort umbrellas that are all set up on the beach. I can just imagine….
Water, sleep, exercise, diet on repeat make for healthy skin.
Keep yourself well hydrated and never go without SPF.
I love that she’s promoting healthy diet + lifestyle – rather than any get fit quick schemes!
A great read, my tips are lots of water, exercise and a healthy diet.
What the heck is smartwater?
I need my sleep so thats top of my list. Drink lots of water, stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen.
SPF and peptides. I can’t afford getaways and facials like her.
I don’t get nearly enough sleep. It’s going to catch up with me I’m sure.
Sorry I can’t give up my time in the sun. I use lots of sunscreen though.
Water and sleep – that’s what I need. I am happy with tap water, generally the only thing smart about smart water is how smart the manufacturer and marketers are!
I will start to drink more water .Also sleep more.
She looks amazing
I’m not a fan of hers, but I agree with having lots of water and sleep (if possible).
She looks great and has aged really well!
She looks great!!
Simple steps are the most effective.
Do what feels good in each moment… Life’s too short not to…
I agree with lots of water and especially a good nights sleep.
I agree about hydration – a good moisturiser and drinking enough water makes a huge difference.
Water and more of it is what I need
Had to Google smartwater. Had images of pouring a glass of water coming out of my phone.
To receive “smart water” status, the water is evaporated to remove impurities and naturally occurring minerals.
Hmm, sounds like overpriced filtered water.
I drink plenty of water and need lots of sleep. Glad the answer is so simple.
She looks great.
She really does look amazing.
Sleep and water are always great but also genetics and being able to afford the best treatments and products surely help. Either way, I’m jealous.
Never heard about smart water before ….
What is the difference between smart water and regular water?
I wake up so many times in the night
Totally agree with you there!
Water, sleep, sunscreen and no stress are the best defence against ageing.
I love Jen, always looks so incredible. I’m upping my water immediately!
Well, I know someone who will be upping their SmartWater game asap…and sleep, I could always do with more sleep. Love Jen, she’s absolutely amazing!!
I love Jen!
she never changed, still gorgeous
I drink plenty of water, but struggle with the sleep!
I rarely give skin care tips to my friends because most of them aren’t interested in hearing them.
She looks beautiful!
What on earth is smart water?
Oh to be like Jen and be able to travel to Mexico on my off day is a dream
Her skin seems flawless and I bet she also has a plastic surgeon on speed dial!
I love drinking water so this is great to know.
She is an amazing woman and great simple advice for ageless skin.
She certainly looks and sounds like she’s doing everything right!
And have good genes, lol
Sleep is definitely one thing I struggle with. Having a healthy diet and exercise are great tips as well.
