From Skin to Nails: How Jennifer Lopez Manages to Look So Good at 55

At 55, Jennifer Lopez has never looked so good. With a body honed by nature and the gym, she also has a “fresh,” pretty face, shiny hair and smooth skin. How does she do it? Without denying a good portion of healthy genes, Vogue magazine looked into the concepts and products that the artist uses daily to maintain her beauty and well-being.

Skin

With her own J Lo Beauty brand, which includes everything from face masks to cleansing gel, Lopez also enjoys the Toska Husted arsenal. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based brand has worked with stars from Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Aniston. Its mission: to combine everything from facial massage to light therapy and microcurrent simulation with Biologique Recherche skincare products. For example, Lopez visited Toska Husted a week before her 2020 Super Bowl performance.

Eyebrows

The person behind the perfect brows of many famous women is Anastasia Soare, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills. The queen of Hollywood looks believes that professionally “done” brows give the face even more than miracle injections. "Beautiful eyebrows are like a facelift because they lift all the features of your face. And there is no doubt about it," Anastasia told Vogue earlier. "Despite the positive effect of injection techniques, the right approach to eyebrow design is very important."

Hair

What does Lopez do with that glamorous, shiny hair? British stylist Chris Appleton is the man behind the artist’s impressive mane, having created countless hairstyles for her honey-toned dark locks. From high retro ponytails to shoulder-length waves, Appleton is the king of hair and its derivatives.

Makeup

Like most stars, J.Lo works with a variety of makeup artists, but Mary Phillips is one of her longtime collaborators, and the one behind her bronzed, goddess-like look. From curled lashes and soft taupe to glossy lips and signature brows, the pair create looks that work beautifully on camera.

Body

From her arms, legs, stomach, and finally, her striking buttocks, every part of Jennifer’s body is a delight. What or who helps her achieve such a stunning physique? Tracy Anderson, here's the answer. A personal trainer not only to Lopez, but also to Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, and Madonna, the "Tracy Anderson Method" is designed to target the small muscles in your body that help create definition and tone through stretching. "It's your body's right to exercise," the singer/actress previously told Vogue. "Like sleep, eating healthy, moving, it's about connecting with yourself."

Glutes

Of course, Jennifer’s impressive butt is partly a gift from nature, and the rest is hard work. She’s a fan of the EMSculpt Butt Lift, a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic technology to lift, firm, stretch, and tone muscles. In addition to the glutes, the technique is also used for the abdominal muscles. “It’s the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches in one workout,” says Dr. Tracy Mountford, founder of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, which offers the treatment.

Nails

The man behind Lopez’s immaculate, perfectly shaped manicures is Tom Bacsik. He was the one who came up with Jennifer’s milky nails for Round 2 of her wedding to Ben Affleck in August 2022, and more recently helped her achieve seasonal perfection with a warm mocha and moody burgundy manicure for fall.
