Jennifer Lopez
Everyone across the world is following this multi-talented skincare routine because they’ve seen that glow on J.Lo, which is why she founded her own skincare brand, JLo Beauty.
She’s previously said her secret is that less is more. That and olive oil. “My mom and aunts say olive oil is the best for glowing skin,” she said. “JLo Beauty’s main ingredient is a modern version of olive oil called Olive Complex.

And it doesn’t smell like salad dressing,” she added with a laugh.
John Legend
The EGOT-winning musician borrows many of his beauty tips and products from his wife, Chrissy Teigen: “We love SK-II moisturizers and Pitera. [Essence]” he previously said. InStyle“I think in general, that’s probably a common story for couples. [especially hetero] In couples, often the man is taking advice from his girlfriend or wife and we are heavily influenced by their choices.”
Lily Aldridge
The model revealed that the secret to her flawless skin is moisturizer and sheet masks: “When I go out on a date, I prep my skin with moisturizer first, and sometimes I’ll put on a face mask,” she previously said. InStyleShe added that sheet masks aren’t just for the face: “At the end of my third trimester while I was counting down the seconds until the birth, I watched TV with one sheet mask on my face and another on my tummy. My daughter found it so funny!”
Kelly Ripa

Penelope Cruz
According to Cruz, the best beauty advice she ever received came from her mother.[She always said] “I remember him repeating like a broken record to me to eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Eat your vegetables and get some sleep,” she previously said. InStyle“She used to annoy me, but now that I’m a mother, I find myself saying the same things.”
Jennifer Aniston
The reason Aniston looks not a day older since her days as Rachel Green is thanks to a healthy combination of what she calls “a little exercise for the face,” microcurrent facials, and Clear & Brilliant laser treatments. “It’s so refreshing, and there’s almost no downtime,” she said. InStyle“It won’t look like a peeled tomato.”
Additionally, when she does wear makeup, she applies it lightly by hand and loves Aveeno’s SPF 60.
Halle Berry
For Halle Berry, the more dewy the skin, the better. “No matter your age, skin always looks a little better when it’s a little dewy and not too powdery. There was a time when I wanted to have matte, powdery skin, but I realized that wasn’t the best look for me,” she said. InStyle“Before applying makeup, I spray my face with rose water and let it soak into my skin. It helps the makeup look fresh and makes me look younger, more vibrant and fresh.”
Salma Hayek
Hayek’s secret to maintaining her flawless skin is to never go to bed without washing her entire face. “I’ve never gone to bed without washing my face. Never in my life,” she said. InStyle“Even if I’m sick, tired, or even drunk! I might forget to take off my dress, my shoes, my jewelry, but I never forget my makeup. It becomes second nature.”
Sarah Jessica Parker
Parker also recommends always going to bed with clean skin. “The thing I’m most diligent about is washing my face,” she said. InStyle“I’ll say to my husband, ‘Oh Matthew, I’m so tired! I don’t want to wash my face,’ and he’s like, ‘Why do I have to wash my face?’ He doesn’t understand. I always use moisturizer and lip balm too.”
Chrissy Teigen
Teigen is a big fan of Shani Darden’s Retinol Reform Resurface Serum. “My aesthetician makes this product,” Teigen said. InStyle“It reduces the appearance of fine lines. Every time I use it I get compliments on my skin the next morning.”
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde swears by True Botanicals’ Renew line: “My skincare routine involves using a pre-cleansing oil followed by their Hydrating Renew Cleanser,” she says. InStyle“I use the Vitamin C Booster two to three times a week and I love the Nutrient Mist, but the Pure Radiance Oil was my introduction to the line. I apply it liberally all over my body morning and night.”
Jessica Alba
“My mom taught me to always wear sunscreen and to think of beauty products as an investment,” she said. InStyle“Before she skimped on skincare or makeup, she was skimping on clothes. She was like, ‘Look, this is your face. This is all you have.'”
Linda Evangelista
The supermodel is a fan of Eraser EXP-30 serum: “I’ve tried everything from drugstore to luxury products, but since I’ve been using this, I can definitely see the difference,” she said. InStyle“My pores are smaller and my skin tone is more even.”
