Jennifer Lopez is an icon. Not only has she released some of the best films ever made (Monster In Law, Maid In Manhattan – both cinematic genius), survived the breakdown of ‘Bennifer’, produced hit song after hit song AND absolutely crushed the half-time show at the SuperBowl, but she looked (and continues to look) damn good doing it.
Yep, amongst all the highs and lows, one thing remains a constant. JLo’s wrinkle-free, glowing and borderline flawless complexion.

And just in case we needed reminding just how beautiful she was, the 51-year-old recently blessed her 127 million Instagram followers with a no-makeup selfie.
Captioned, “Good morning everyone!!! #MorningFace“, J-Lo gives us a glimpse at how her days in isolation begin, out in her garden, dressed in a monogrammed white robe, with perfectly wind swept hair.

While J-Lo isn’t serving up a fresh brew of her morning ageless tonic, she has been known to reveal a tip or two on how she keeps her self looking so damn youthful.
Speaking to InStyle, she attributes her complexion to keeping her diet free of three things in particular, “I don’t drink, smoke, or have caffeine. That really wrecks your skin as you get older”.
But if giving up your coffee is too big a sacrifice, her second suggestion might be of interest. “The number one tip is to always get enough sleep. I can’t stress this enough. Ideally I would love to get nine or 10 hours of sleep, but either way, I always make sure I get at least eight.”
And last but not least, we have Khloe Kardashian to thank for our third and final tip. Speaking to ET, Khloe spills the tea on all the beauty tips she’s learnt from Jennifer, including how she sleeps.
“When there are lines on the side of your neck, it’s from side sleeping.” she says. And according to Khloe, J-Lo sleeps “surrounded by pillows” in order to avoid rolling over and creasing her neck and face.
This sleeping position has also been recommended by dermatologists for years – in a bid to reduce fine lines and decrease inflammation while sleeping.

I love side sleeping with knees up to support the back. Sleeping, that I can get behind!
I sleep at least 8 hours too. Amen to that.
I wouldn’t recognise her from the beautiful morning photo. I’d love to get that much sleep on a regular basis, I’m sure it would make me look better.
She’s so gorgeous!!
I can never sleep for that long and loveee coffee and some wine haha so I guess I shan’t be looking that good later in life.
I wake up so many times, it’s actually exhausting
Love her look without any (or much) makeup. She suits the no-makeup makeup look better than heavy makeup.
Gorgeous photo. I wish I could have a good nights uninterrupted sleep. It’s catches up on you after a while zzzzzzz
J-Lo looks amazing she is beautiful with or without makeup her skin just glows. Taking your makeup off works wonders like her tip about getting enough sleep as well.
Gosh I’d love 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and even more to wake up looking like her!
Being in lockdown has meant more sleep for everyone in my family and I can feel the benefits.
She looks stunning
She still looks stunning
I have always slept surrounded by pillows, ever since I was a kid. It’s more of a comfort thing really. But a good nights sleep would be great if I could turn my brain off hahaha
Doesn’t even look like her.
J-Lo looks incredible. I’d be happy with 6 hours of sleep!
I wish I could have 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. That would be magic!
Also I enjoy a good coffee and would find it very hard to give it up.
I’m more comfortable sleeping in the fetal position and I sleep for around 9 hours every night but I don’t wake up looking like J-Lo. I start my day with a nice strong latte.
Getting enough sleep is certainly true for me. I like my coffee!
I’ve tried sleeping on my back, but it’s too uncomfortable. I couldn’t give up my endless cups of tea, either.
She’s stunning!!!
She looks great!
Is this woman really 51??? Absolutely amazing! I didn’t even recognize her at first..
I wish I could sleep well! I wake up several times a night, no matter how tired I am 🙁
J Lo is gorgeous either way
She is so different without make ups.
Bad sleeper here …. Sometimes.
I didn’t recognise her. I try and get 8 hours sleep a night and I sleep on a silk pillow case which helps with creases.
I would love to get a good 8 hours per night. Unfortunately I am a side sleeper so may have to surround myself with pillows.
If I didn’t know that this article was about Jennifer Lopez, I may not even have recognised her in the photo where she’s wearing no makeup in her dressing gown.
JLo sure looks great.
So gorgeous! Proof that looking after yourself and your skin is simply priceless.
Gorgeous
I have been trying to learn to backsleep since the start of the year (I had to after my appendectomy in February anyway, but wasn’t able to stick with it) – honestly the biggest issue in getting it fully down is the fact that I share my queen bed with a partner. I can’t use pillows to keep myself on my back without him running out of room in the bed, and yet pillows are the best way to learn backsleeping. Very frustrating!
I’d love to sleep on my back but I just find it way too uncomfortable, I know its the best for your health in so many ways but I can’t resist crawling up into a little ball on my side!
I think I’ll sleep in a position that’s comfy first and foremost. But looking that good first thing in the morning would be a total bonus!
she looks amazing without the make-up.
Absolutely agree
She looks wonderful
yes you just can’t fault her
she looks great!
The first one, she looks like her from Selina era.
I agree hardly recognized her.
