- Jennifer Aniston’s skin-care routine centers around a simple, less-is-more approach to support her long-term skin health.
- Gentle cleansing, daily sunscreen, hydration, and ample sleep are the cornerstones of her youthful appearance.
- Aniston also incorporates at-home rituals like ice facials and sheet masks, and supplements with professional treatments like microneedling and Thermage.
There’s no question that Jennifer Aniston is a forever beauty icon and the ultimate definition of goals. The Morning Show star has managed to keep her skin plump, tight, and glowing, making people of all ages aspire to look as youthful as the 56-year-old. Inspired by her signature no-makeup makeup look and healthy, radiant complexion, we tapped the experts, including her facialist, Joanna Czech, for the inside scoop on Jennifer Aniston’s skin-care routine and everything the actress does to look that good.
Aniston’s facialist, Joanna Czech, says the actress’s best-kept secret to skin that always looks healthy and glowing is her lifestyle. “She is consistent and disciplined in living a healthy lifestyle. It’s not just the products she uses, but she’s also a great student.”
The cornerstones of her skin-care routine are simple: getting lots of sleep, using sunscreen and gentle cleansers daily, drinking plenty of water, and keeping her skin well-protected and hydrated.
Her At-Home Skin-Care Routine
Tatcha The Serum Stick

One moisturizing product that keeps Aniston’s skin hydrated and perfectly prepped for makeup is Tatcha’s The Serum Stick, a moisturizing serum in stick form. “I like that this product has several benefits and that you can incorporate it into your routine differently,” Dr. Garshick says. “Apply it over makeup or as the last step in your skin-care routine to lock in moisture. It delivers targeted hydration and smooths fine lines and creases, especially around the eyes and mouth.” Dr. Zeichner adds that since the stick comprises 80 percent squalane, an emollient oil that helps protect and repair the skin barrier. Plus, it helps fill in cracks between cells in the outer skin layer to soften and hydrate rough skin.
OneSkin FACE OS-01 Peptide Topical Supplement

A fan of rotating products to keep her skin in tiptop shape, Aniston has also mentioned the OneSkin moisturizer, as one of her personal “favorite epidermal hydration products” that’s boosted by hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, allantoin, and more.
Shani Darden Skin Care Retinol Reform Serum

At night, Aniston treats her skin with a dose of retinol, specifically the Shani Darden Retinol Reform Treatment Serum. “Retinol is perhaps the best studied anti-aging ingredient that we have to fight the signs of aging,” Dr. Zeichner shares. “It is known to stimulate the production of collagen and elastic fibers to strengthen the skin’s foundation and improve the appearance of wrinkles.”

When the actress needs a little extra complexion help, she reaches for skin-care-adjacent makeup staples that provide skin-loving benefits as well as coverage. Aniston spotlighted the Ilia True Skin Serum concealer as her summertime staple in an interview with E! News.
U Beauty The SUPER Tinted Hydrator

She’s also a fan of skin tints, calling U Beauty’s The Super Tinted Hydrator “a delicious tinted moisturizer.”
Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops Dewy Skin Tint

Another known favorite? The Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops, which fit her less-is-more beauty ethos due (or shall we say, dew) to its lightweight, silky texture and subtle blurring finish.

From time to time, you may catch Aniston sporting under-eye masks and sheet masks on her Instagram stories. One of Aniston’s favorites is the—unfortunately discontinued—Anti-Blemish Bio Cellulose Mask from 111 Skin. “The 111 Skin mask is particularly effective for someone like Aniston, who values clear, glowing skin. Its dual-action approach of treating blemishes while hydrating makes it a great option for all skin types, including sensitive or mature skin,” Dr. Garshick says. According to Dr. Zeichner, eye masks are a good way to help hydrate, soothe, and protect the sensitive skin around the eyes. “They are also a great option when the skin is dry, puffy, or irritated,” he adds. Aniston recommends 111 Skin’s Rose Gold Illuminating Eye Mask.
Ziip Halo

It’s no surprise that Aniston has access to the best and most innovative skin-care tools. A few in her arsenal include at-home red light masks and the ZIIP Halo, which is powered by nanocurrent and microcurrent technologies to help make skin look more lifted.
Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar

She also relies on Jillian Dempsey’s Gold Sculpting Bar, a gold-plated vibrating bar that helps to lift, sculpt, and depuff the skin. “Since the sculpting tool uses vibrations to stimulate facial muscles and works to reduce puffiness, sculpt, and tone, incorporating it into a skin-care routine can contribute to firmer, healthier-looking skin from the comfort of your home,” Dr. Garshick says.
Aniston has also revealed on TikTok that she does at-home ice facials. This involves filling a bowl with ice and water and splashing her face with the water 25 times to wake up her skin, energize it, and tighten it. Dr. Zeichner says using ice-cold water on the face can also help calm inflamed skin and constrict blood vessels to reduce facial redness.
Her Favorite In-Office Treatments
The viral salmon sperm facial has made its way onto the actress’s famous face. Different from salmon sperm injections, the topical facial version, which employs microneedling to push the salmon sperm into the skin, is believed to help deliver skin benefits for a healthy glow. Although Aniston gushed about the treatment on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she also fessed up to not seeing much in terms of results from it, but still calls it the future of anti-aging skin care.
According to Dr. Zeichner, salmon sperm facials help deliver polynucleotides to the skin. “These small DNA fragments may also help enhance skin, cell turnover, and collagen production.”
Aniston is also purportedly a fan of non-invasive Thermage treatments, which rely on radiofrequency energy delivered under the skin to help stimulate collagen production and tighten and smooth the skin. “The benefits of routine Thermage treatments include skin tightening, softening fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting collagen production,” says Dr. Garshick.
Naturally, Aniston has a few high-profile skin experts on speed dial to tend to her complexion, including Czech. She says, “Every time I see Aniston for a treatment, I perform something different and customized to her skin’s current condition and needs.”

Her Inside-Outside Approach
Jennifer practices an inside-out approach to wellness and healthy skin as she ages. Collagen is believed to increase moisture, elasticity, and hydration when taken orally, making it a staple in her routine. As the chief creative officer of Vital Proteins, she takes wellness from within seriously. Dr. Garshick says that while applying collagen topically to the skin is limited by penetration, there is some suggestion that oral collagen, formulated into peptides or hydrolyzed collagen, may help improve skin health.
