Tricks of the trade
With Jen’s classy style and glowing good looks, everybody wants a bit of the magic. Many companies have attempted to cash in on women’s desire to capture the “Jen look”; however, if she actually used every treatment that has been said to be one of her favorites, she really wouldn’t have time for much else! It can then be concluded that only Jen can speak for her approach to beauty, and she has done exactly that in various interviews over the years. With her easy appeal, it is no surprise that her actual approach to beauty is very simple.
Jen’s smooth skin and warm complexion are among her most enviable assets; she looks the part of the quintessential California girl, and looks considerably younger than her 39 years. In 2006, Jen revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that her favorite products to maintain that glow are, in fact, old standbys:
As for skin care, Jennifer relies on old faithful fare, used since childhood: Neutrogena bar soap and Dr. Hauschka. “I’m addicted especially to the holistic face creams, powder, and masks,” she says.
She also revealed to the magazine that she now avoids using hair extensions whenever possible, because she has, in the past, found them to be damaging.
Speaking of Jen’s famous locks, many fans remember a brief moment of dis-tress a while back. While there were those who adored the short cut that she sported in late 2000, Jen quickly came to the conclusion that she just wanted her long hair back. So she took an inside-out approach, as she told Vanity Fair in 2001:
“I’m taking every horse vitamin there is to make it grow faster - blue-green algae, you name it.”
Did it work? Her now-flowing tresses speak for themselves. She relies on her good friend Chris to keep them polished and to keep up with the demands of her various roles - in an interview with fashion website Warden Style in 2004, she spoke of him very highly:
WSO: Alright. “The best styling advice I`ve ever got …”
Jennifer: Those are questions! I guess I have to go for my hair. I`ve been seeing the same hairdresser for quite some time now and I trust him with whatever he wants to do to me. (smiles)
Another person whom Jen turns to regularly is yogi Mandy Ingber. Jen began studying yoga with Mandy in 2005, and reaped benefits that were not only physical, but emotional and spiritual. Jen maintains her strong, healthy figure with a combination of yoga and regular cardiovascular exercise. In 2006, Jen and Mandy appeared together in Self magazine and revealed the secrets of Jen’s “mind-body makeover”; check out Jen’s workout and favorite yoga tunes here. It is clear that what makes Jen glow the brightest comes from within.
