Latina beauty Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she keeps her skincare regime to a bare minimum, attributing her signature glow at the age of 42 to plenty of sleep and lots of water.
“I try to get enough sleep, about seven or eight hours and I drink a lot of water,” spilled the mum-of-two about her beauty basics.
The singer and actress also insisted that she was completely against facials or treatments, as she doesn’t like to mess about with her face or her skin too much. “I don't do scrubs or peels or anything like that,” she said. “I just do the basics. I use moisture masks a lot though.”
Adding, “If I have a red carpet event, I'll do a face mask in the morning. And I'll take a nice bath to relax myself because I think the better you feel, the better you look. Then I'll have a coffee and take the day slow. I don't like to rush.”
J-Lo, who is currently pulling in record audience figures as a judge on American Idol, also admitted that she’d found it tough to get back in the exercise habit following the birth of her three-year-old twins Max and Emme, but said having a post-baby workout goal had helped her get back into shape.
“I did a triathlon, which was a goal I had set for myself before having them,” spilled J-Lo. “I did it because I'd said I was going to do it and it was for charity. After that, I stopped exercising totally for a while. I was tired, the babies were my life and I just wasn't motivated. It took a lot of mental energy to get focused again.”
Motivation is our problem too, but stop bluffing about the skincare bit, J-Lo!
