Rather than trawl the internet for information, though, one of the best places to find inspiration is by looking at those icons of style that we see on stage and screen. These people ooze class and sophistication. They’re the ones that shape our image of beauty, and it’s one of those enigmatic characters that we’re going to look at here.
Jennifer Aniston is one of the world’s most instantly recognizable people. Ever since she was first seen on TV screens in the cult sitcom Friends in 1994, she’s rarely been out of focus. That’s because playing the role of Rachel Green catapulted her to superstardom. Insider named her one of the most iconic characters of the 90s and 00s, and it’s not difficult to understand why. The image of Aniston and that of her co-stars was everywhere and still is across all forms of digital media. She wasn’t seen just on TV as Warner Bros recreated her digitally on a Friends game released on the PlayStation, called Friends: The One With All The Trivia. On mobile devices, Foxy Bingo features a Slingo game titled Friends Slingo, which showcases music and sounds from the show and Rachel as part of its imagery. Also, following the 25th Anniversary of the show just a couple of years ago, an app called Friends 25 was released, with a barrage of video clips featuring everyone’s favorite ‘Friend’. This constant exposure further illustrates how endeared and relevant she is as a style icon, over two decades after she first burst onto our screens wearing that wet wedding dress.
But what is it that keeps Aniston looking so fresh and radiant? Let’s look at those products that she cannot live without, so then you can ask your friends, could I BE more beautiful?
Clé de Peau Beauté concealer
The 53-year-old actress simply wouldn’t go anywhere without this item from one of Japan’s top luxury skincare brands, Clé de Peau Beauté. It’s something that means so much to her that Aniston even tells people that if she could have only five makeup products in her bag, this would be without a doubt one of them. It helps her conceal dark circles and blemishes and has long-lasting coverage while providing a smooth and seamless finish.
Olaplex Hair Perfector
It’s hardly surprising to find that Aniston looks after her hair so much; after all, her style from Friends is still something that stylists reference in Glamour Magazine to this day! This product is something that she uses once per week. The number 3 from the brand helps strengthen Aniston’s hair, reducing breakage and improving its appearance. Allied to this, she often lets her hair air dry to avoid damage caused by styling tools.
Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar
Aniston says her skincare routine is quite simple, and it’s been the same for quite some time as she’s a creature of habit. She said: “I wash my face with my Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar, and then I usually use a toner, whatever toner of the month I’m using. And serum, depending on what serum I’m using at the time.” She recommends scrubbing three times per week to really get the skin clean and then supplement that by staying hydrated by drinking lots of water.
Aveeno Positively Radiant Hydrating Facial Moisturizer
It may come as a surprise to see that Aniston takes to such budget-friendly products widely available, but this is one she really appreciates. This moisturizer is something she uses on her home ‘spa days.’ “I usually do a little mini-facial time where I just give myself a good scrub, use a mask, and then the Aveeno Positively Radiant Hydrating Facial Moisturizer. I leave it on overnight and when I wake up I have that dewy, glowing, twinkling skin.”
