JLo meditates and uses mantras
She strongly believes beauty comes from within. No I am not referring to eating healthy, which she obviously does. “I am a firm believer in meditating and when you are happy and feel joy and love, you radiate beauty” she told InStyle.
Which makes total sense when you think about it. When you are in a bad mood, even if you don’t say anything you radiate that! Not only is she a fan of mantras but also does a daily affirmation.
“I am youthful and timeless. I tell myself that every day, a few times a day. It sounds like clichéd bullshit, but it’s not: Age is all in your mind. Look at Jane Fonda,” She shared with Harper’s Baazar .
If you are trying to find your own mantra then I recommend taking a look at this book as it’s filled with 75 mantra’s.
She drinks water and eats fruits and veggies
If you are not a water drinker and were hoping JLo doesn’t attribute water to her beautiful skin so you can feel that you too can have beautiful skin without drinking water then I have bad news.
She drinks lots of water and eats lots of fresh food with fruits and veggies, and believes this “all play into the quality of skin’s appearance” according to People.
She doesn’t drink or smoke
You might catch Jenny from the block out on the town, but you wont catch her drinking alcohol or taking a smoking break while on the set.
Alcohol and smoking are extremely dehydrating which will result in dry skin. We all know that the key to anti-aging skin is to keep it hydrated, so this obviously doesn’t fly.
Sticks to decaf
Okay, now here comes the most challenging step into her beauty routine. Not all things in life are easy, but if you really want it you will make it happen.
If you want to stick to Jennifer’s routine as close as possible you are going to want to ditch the caffeine in your coffee.
If you drink coffee out of habit, or as a treat then you can just take it decaf. On the other hand, if you drink it for the energy this may be a hard transition. JLo doesn’t drink anything with caffeine so no soda either!
She gets her beauty rest
Jennifer likes to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and when she can she likes to go for a full 10 hours. She has said on more than one occasion that this is her number 1 tip.
I know you are busy but if J’lo can do it so can you. So can I! Okay, let’s start Monday. No, let’s start tonight.
Take out your calculator and do the math to figure out when you need to go to sleep tonight to get at least 8 hours. When I said calculator, I meant phone hehe what is this, the 90’s?
Goes makeup free
Since Jlo is often in front of a camera she needs to be blinged up constantly. She believes in giving her face a rest whenever she can.
On days where she doesn’t have to be glamourous, she opts to go makeup free or wears a minimal amount.
Doesn’t go a day without SPF
If you are into skincare then you are also familiar with applying SPF daily, and Jlo is very strict with this, as should you.
Even while wearing SPF she tries to stay away from the sun as much as possible, unless she is on vacation where she enjoys sunbathing.
The sunscreen she uses every day is super affordable! According to Oprahmag L’Oreal’s Bright Reveal Brightening Day Moisturizer SPF 30 is the one she uses.
The day might look gloomy, or you may think since you will be inside all day there is no need to apply sunscreen EEERRRR (that’s supposed to be the sound of the wrong answer buzz).
Even if you can’t see the cloud out, it doesn’t mean the UV’s are out. If you work inside, the UV rays can still go through your car window on the way to work, especially UVA’s.
Those rays are responsible for wrinkles, sooo yea. This is an extreme case of what sun damage can do while you are in your car.

She washes her face before bed
It doesn’t matter how late it is, Jlo always washes her face before she goes to sleep.
This isn’t a secret, everyone knows they should wash their face before bed. Of course, not every one of us does it, like Dolly Parton.
Did you hear that she doesn’t wash her face at night because she doesn’t know if she’ll have to wake up for some reason and someone might see her.
This is only okay to do it you are Dolly Parton, and since you are not please wash your face before you go night night.
This sounds pretty obvious how to do, you wet your face, add a cleanser, rinse and your done right? WRONG!
Yea, you heard me, there are actually a few things to do when it comes to washing your face so here are some face cleansing tips I highly suggest you follow.
Unless of course, you like doing things the wrong way.

Jlo washes her face after a workout
After every workout she makes sure to wash her face “That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy” she told Hello!
Even if your workouts aren’t as intense as Jennifer’s you should still wash your face as soon as you are finished.
Bacteria and oil can get clogged in your pores and cause breakouts. If you are looking to have skin like this diva, then the last thing you want is a pimple.
You don’t need to wash your face with a cleanser, I simple splash of water should get rid of the sweat. Wait for your face to cool and then add a moisturizer.
If you are a makeup wearer, you should wash your face pre-workout to not clog your pores.
Sweating is great for the face since it’s trying to get rid of toxins. Although makeup blocking your pores, it will cause acne.

She uses glycolic acid to get her skin glow
JLo is famous for her natural glow, even while not wearing makeup. She likes to incorporate glycolic acid into her routine.
Glycolic acid is an exfoliant that helps shed dead skin. As a result, newer and brighter skin is revealed.
Since glycolic acid is so small it can penetrate the skin and get down and dirty.
One benefit is it stimulates collagen production giving skin a firmer look while minimizing wrinkles and small lines. Aaaah makes sense why JLo uses this.
