Stealing JLo’s Glow Even If Her Beauty Line Is Out Of Budget
JLo is yet another celebrity to drop a beauty line recently, more specifically an anti-aging skincare line. Can we blame her though? She is the epitome of ageless beauty and embraces being youthful every day. JLo Beauty arrives with a collection of eight glow-enhancing products, priced at $18 for the glow multitasking mask to $79 for the glow serum. Despite JLo’s new products being quite pricey, fear not, you can still achieve her signature glow without breaking the bank.
Start with sleep + mindfulness
JLo is a strong believer of inner beauty – “I definitely think beauty comes from within—you have to keep your mind, soul, body and spirit in sync”, as told to InStyle. She uses meditation as a way to radiate beauty, by telling herself the same thing that we believe to be true – that she is youthful and timeless. She told Harper’s Bazaar that she takes inspiration from Jane Fonda by reminding herself that “age is all in your mind”. When it comes to sleep, she likes to get at least eight hours, ideally nine or ten hours. While this may be unrealistic for most of us, it’s well known that adequate sleep is directly correlated with overall skin health.
Give the olive oil a chance
The beauty collection uses lots of olive-derived ingredients, as olive oil is JLo’s family beauty secret for delivering glow. However, many have questioned whether JLo’s lack of wrinkles can really be attributed to something as simple as olive oil. While we admire her refusal to try Botox, JLo admittedly told Today that she fortunately has “good genes” because her “mom and grandma had beautiful skin”. Despite this, trying olive oil on skin can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because it contains antioxidants. So go ahead - give it a shot.
Let your skin breathe
We got to give JLo credit for always going that extra step to keep her skin clean and being open about going makeup free when she’s not working. She told Hello, “I always, always wash my face after a workout” to keep her pores clean and skin healthy. She also never goes to bed without taking her makeup off and applies SPF faithfully, as told to People. We have seen her grace our ‘grams with makeup free selfies on more than one occasion to give her skin a break.
Try her non-namesake staples
While JLo is secretive about the exact products she uses for her radiant complexion, her makeup artist Mary Phillips told Byrdie she uses L’Oréal’s Age Perfect Glow Renewal Day Lotion on JLo as a base before applying any makeup. This product has since been discontinued - try L’Oréal’s Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer ($15) instead. This lotion aligns with JLo’s belief in using hydrating products to achieve luminous skin. Phillips also uses a glossy foundation like L'Oréal's True Match Super-Blendable Foundation ($11) on JLo – she suggests using your fingers because the heat transfer provides a glowy finish.
