How to Do Jennifer Lopez’s Skincare Routine

JLo Beauty That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser: “So, of course I start with my cleanser. We developed this cleanser to really take off all of the dirt and oil and excess makeup. I don’t know, even when I wash it the night before, sometimes I always feel like there’s a little in my hairline that I missed—there’s always something. So the morning cleansing is really, really important to set your face for the whole entire day. This is a gel-cream cleanser. It is beautiful. I just lather it up... then I rinse it with the lukewarm water. Not only did it get off all the makeup, it gave me that extra-clean feeling but in a healthy way. I am in love with this cleanser. I use it every day. You can probably see, I have it in the shower, I have it by my tub, I have it everywhere because I only want to use that on my face.”

Lancer The Method: Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin: “I wash my face and moisturize daily. I always, always wash my face after a workout. That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy.” 

JLo Beauty That JLo Glow: “Then I go to That JLo Glow. It’s the glow in the bottle. This is the secret ingredient. [We did] 21 iterations of this to get it right. People go, ‘Oh, how do I get that glow?’ that I could put it in a bottle and say, ‘Here. Here it is....’ [This is] a beautiful serum. I put it all over. I always feel like this is like vitamins for your face, so I rub it in nice. I always like to go through all of those places where we want to look nice and smooth. And as you see, as it dries here—which you should let this serum dry—it’s already giving me a beautiful glow.”

JLo Beauty That Big Screen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Moisturizer: “Once [the serum is] all dry, I go to my third step for my morning routine: sunscreen. It is a secret ingredient from the time you’re very, very young—you have to wear sunscreen. That is probably one of the biggest things that I did from a very young age that helped preserve my skin now. Our sunscreen is a beautiful whipped texture. It’s almost like whipped cream. I always say that I’m tempted to taste it, but it’s not a good idea. I do not recommend that! As you can see, it doesn’t leave a white cast; it soaks right in. It was designed and developed to be able to be used every single day under your makeup as a moisturizer... and you can already see my skin is looking pretty glowy and radiant.”

Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream: “I love that Rose Cream by Dr. Hauschka—it’s natural and so hydrating. It makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my skin.”

Perricone MD No Makeup Foundation Serum SPF 20: “I don’t wear a lot of makeup when not working and am a firm believer in SPF. I try not to stay out in the sun too long.”

JLo Beauty That Star Filter Complexion Booster: “There’s four shades: Rich Bronze, Warm Bronze, Rose Gold and Pink Champagne. Here’s the thing with these. They can really be used on all different kinds of skin types and skin colours, and I like to use all four of them... because I use some of them for highlighter and some for contour.”

Jane Iredale Corrective Colors: “I am pretty low-key when it comes to my day to day beauty routine. I have to wear a lot of makeup for work, so when I am not working, I tend to wear little to no makeup.”

JLo Beauty That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser: “I like to put a little bit of water on [my skin] first, and then we’re going to use the cleanser, That Hit Single. It has a beautiful texture. It looks like a pinky, pearlescent colour. It’s gorgeous. You could use the size of a quarter, and you just start washing it off. It’s an excellent, excellent cleanser. I go down to my neck. My skin is completely clean. What I love about the cleanser is that every one of our products leaves you with a little bit of a glow when you’re done.”

Lancer The Method: Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin: “I wash my makeup off before I go to sleep at night. I never go to bed without taking my makeup off.”

JLo Beauty That JLo Glow: “Then I take the serum. It’s amazing. That was important for me when I was creating it—and I sent this formula back maybe 23 times—to make sure that it had a tightening and an instant glow effect. That’s why we called it That JLo Glow, ‘cause we basically got it right. I like being generous with it... and then I let it dry for just like a minute. I want you to notice something. I had a full face of makeup on. I just took off the makeup, I have no makeup on my face... I put this serum on and I have more glow on bare skin than I did when I had the makeup on. This is where my mission with JLo Beauty is to make all of you feel beautiful in your own skin. When it’s just you—not when you have to put on filters and all of this stuff that we do on social media to feel beautiful.”

JLo Beauty That Blockbuster: “The next thing I’m going to do is the night cream, which is called That Blockbuster. It feels like a fresh drink of water and I just kind of massage it all the way into my neck and I just put it everywhere, all over my eyelids. Again, you can see how glowy the skin is. I mean, come on.”

JLo Beauty That Fresh Take: “I use my eye cream. At a certain point, you have to start doing that.”

JLo Beauty That Limitless Glow: “Honestly, I can not even see a line on my face. It is glowy and gorgeous and tight and yummy and like, oh my God. This is the best mask that I’ve ever, ever tried. It’s better than the SK-IIs, it’s better than all those ones I have over there, this is going to be the top-selling mask in the world. It is fantastic. And that ear situation that pulls it up makes all the difference—theres nothing dripping down my face, it’s not messy, it’s just beautiful. Leave it on for 10 minutes and I feel like it took 10 years off my face. Talk about the JLo glow, wow.”

“What you eat doesn’t just affect your body; it can also affect the way your skin looks. Protein is my go-to whenever I start having cravings. It fills me up and keeps me full longer. It’s a great muscle fuel. I think drinking lots of water and fresh foods with lots of fruits and vegetables—I keep [them] with me at all times—all play into the quality of skin’s appearance.”

JLo Beauty That Inner Love Dietary Supplement: “I finish off [my morning routine] with taking one of my supplements. We call that That Inner Love because everybody, just so you guys know, skincare is an inside job. Beauty from the inside out is one of our mottos at JLo Beauty. And that is spiritually, emotionally, metaphorically, but also really, really practically.”

Tracy Anderson: “It’s no secret that I love dancing, so it doesn’t even feel like exercise to me. I freestyle dance with Tracy Anderson five times a week. We’ll incorporate light weights for the arms and moves that focus on the butt and thighs and engage the core.”

Kirsch Wellness: “I also do circuit training with David Kirsch when I’m in New York. We do hour-long circuits at least three times a week. It’s full-body training—so planks, push-ups, boxing—really everything. It’s all about changing it up and keeping your body guessing.”

“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.”
