Jennifer Lopez Opened Up About The Way She Stays Looking So Young
Jennifer Lopez is one of the world’s premier multi-hyphenate celebrities. She’s a Hollywood leading lady, a chart-topping singer, a dancer, a philanthropist and a businesswoman. Despite all her wealth and success, though, the star has carefully cultivated an image of down-to-earth authenticity. And this may help explain why she didn’t take kindly at all to a fan accusing her of lying about one aspect of her celebrated beauty regime.
It was way back in the ’90s when Lopez first burst into the public consciousness with her performance in Selena. Playing the celebrated Tejano singer Selena Perez – who was tragically murdered by a fan in 1995 – led to more roles in movies like Out Of Sight and Anaconda. Then four years later she released her debut album On The 6, and another medium was hers for the taking.
In 2001 Lopez hit the height of her fame up to that point. Her album J. Lo hit number one on the charts in the same week as the star’s movie The Wedding Planner took top spot at the box office. Lopez had become a pop-culture icon, and she would go on to become a permanent fixture in celebrity culture for the next two decades.
Lopez has long been championed for her seemingly ageless good looks, and she has always challenged the mainstream notion of female beauty with her curvy physique. Amusingly, in 2014 Vanity Fair described her butt as a cultural icon! People magazine named her the most beautiful lady in the world in 2011, and she has also topped FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women list twice.
One important aspect of her beauty has made Lopez the envy of women everywhere: that immaculate skin. Thankfully, though, she’s always been happy to reveal her secrets to the world. One of the star’s main secrets is something super simple. In December 2020 Lopez told POPSUGAR Beauty, “A dermatologist told me at a very young age to use sunscreen, and I was like, ‘What do I need sunscreen for? I live in New York.’”
