For decades, Jennifer Aniston has stunned on every red carpet, turning heads with her radiant skin and toned figure.
Now 56, the Friends icon continues to defy time, and while she’s admitted to dabbling with a few cosmetic tweaks, her longtime facialist has lifted the lid on the real behind-the-scenes prep that keeps Hollywood stars looking flawless.
The Six-Week Red Carpet Routine
According to celebrity aesthetician Joanna Czech—whose clients include everyone from Anna Wintour to Hailey Bieber—getting red-carpet ready isn’t something that happens overnight.
Speaking on LYMA’s Power Women podcast, Joanna revealed that A-listers like Jennifer often begin preparing six weeks in advance.
“Proper red carpet prep usually takes six weeks,” she explained.
“They change their lifestyle, step up workouts, get slimming massages, and follow a strict facial regime. It’s not instant—it takes time.”
The Dangers of Going Too Far
While Jennifer has embraced some light treatments over the years, Joanna warned that not every Hollywood “fix” delivers natural results.
She explained that Botox can sometimes cause jaw muscles to weaken, while overusing fillers risks changing the face in unnatural ways.
“Everything is connected,” she said, adding that many of her clients struggle with hyperpigmentation and “loosened jaw situations” caused by over-injecting.
Jennifer on Cosmetic Rumors
Jennifer herself has always been refreshingly honest.
She admitted to a rhinoplasty in her twenties to correct a deviated septum, calling it “the best thing I ever did” because it allowed her to breathe properly.
But she’s also been quick to shut down false rumors, like breast augmentation, laughing it off as nothing more than “10 pounds” of natural weight changes.
In the past, she admitted to trying Botox but wasn’t a fan. “People think I do a lot of injections, but I don’t,” she told Yahoo Beauty.
“I’ve tried it, but it looks ridiculous on me. It’s such a slippery slope.”
Learning From Others’ Mistakes
Jennifer has often spoken about the pressures in Hollywood to appear ageless.
In a candid 2014 interview, she expressed sympathy for women who turned to extreme injections to hold onto their youth, saying many ended up looking older instead.
“I’m grateful to learn from their mistakes,” she said.
“I’m not injecting stuff into my face. My heart breaks when I see women who can’t let themselves just age.”
High-Tech Skincare and Unusual Treatments
Instead of heavy cosmetic procedures, Jennifer swears by advanced skincare.
She’s a fan of laser facials, Thermage, Ultherapy, and microcurrent facials, calling them “a little workout for your face.”
She’s even tried unconventional treatments—like a much-discussed salmon sperm facial recommended by an aesthetician.
Though she admitted she didn’t notice much difference, she’s fully committed to weekly peptide injections, which she believes are “the future” of anti-aging.
Fitness, Food, and Balance
Beyond treatments, Jennifer is fiercely disciplined about her health.
She follows a high-protein, low-carb diet, practices intermittent fasting (16:8 method), and works out five days a week, mixing cardio with Pvolve classes.
She drinks plenty of water, meditates, and prioritizes sleep.
Still, she isn’t all discipline. Sundays are her “cheat days,” when she enjoys homemade In-N-Out burgers with friends.
She also confesses to one guilty habit—over-salting food—and is famously picky about the olives she carries for her martinis.
The Viral Salad and a Love for Food
Her food habits even went viral in 2022 when fans on TikTok tried to recreate her famous salad.
Jennifer later revealed her real version: butter lettuce, mushrooms, sprouts, tomatoes, avocado, olives, cheese (usually parmesan, pecorino, or feta), nuts or seeds for crunch, and an egg for protein.
Her dressings vary—oil and vinegar on weekdays, ranch on weekends.
“Don’t Tell Me I Look Good for My Age”
Despite the compliments she receives, Jennifer admits one phrase she can’t stand: “You look good for your age.”
In her view, that diminishes the effort she puts into her health. “I’m in better shape than I was in my twenties,” she told British Vogue.
“I feel better in my mind, body, and spirit. It’s all 100 percent better.”
A Healthy Lifestyle Over Quick Fixes
For Jennifer, looking youthful isn’t about chasing fads—it’s about balance, consistency, and self-care.
From her workouts and clean eating to her advanced facials and occasional beauty experiments, she’s proof that real glow comes from discipline mixed with just the right amount of indulgence.
