We’ve got even more highlights from Jennifer Aniston’s InStyle cover interview for the February issue. Even though I was complaining about some missteps by Jennifer’s Oscar strategist (like letting Aniston talk endlessly about her tabloid persona), I do think putting Jennifer on the cover of InStyle was a smart move. InStyle is still on every newsstand, like Cosmo or Glamour, but InStyle has a better, more People Magazine-like audience. It was good timing to get her on the February cover. And to parcel out the good quotes over the course of two days! Yesterday, we heard Jennifer tell some lies about when she got together with Justin Theroux. In today’s excerpts, we hear some of her thoughts about Botox and plastic surgery.
She denies Botoxing: “I just take care of my skin, eat well, exercise. And I love lasers and [other noninvasive treatments like] Thermage [radio frequency] and Ultherapy [ultrasound]. I also like a good microcurrent facial.”
Why she hasn’t gone under the knife like so many actresses: “People lose perspective. I look around and see how bad plastic surgery and injections can really kick you in the ass.”
Her skincare secret? Sleep and water, which she says are “your best bets for really great skin.” Additionally, she sees a naturopathic doctor, who recommends taking fish oil and a probiotic, and when it comes to makeup, the gorgeous stunner swears by “everything from Chanel.”
Her Cake character: “This one, well, she’s really banged up. For two months there were no mirrors to look at, no manicurists. Nothing. The hardest part for me was when they said, ‘Don’t work out.’ I said, ‘But I have to.’ And then I realized, Oh. When you’re not working out, your levels of joy just go down, down, down. And it’s not that easy to get the weight off once you stop working out. You say to your body, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ But that’s just the 40s.”
She eats pasta these days: “Blasphemy, I know. I never ate pasta. I’ve been allowing myself a lot more in the past few years. Which does make it harder to lose those last few pounds. But you have to live. And so what? You go up a size. What’s the big deal?”
No Botox… except for that time that she tried Botox (for like six months). And no plastic surgery… except for her nose work (and maybe some lip injections). And just sleep and water… and thousands of dollars’ worth of laser treatments, peels, facials, Ultratherapy, vitimins, and lots of Chanel products. Because that Aveeno crap is for poor people, amirite? Wait, she’s the face of Aveeno and she didn’t even shill for them in this interview?! Whoa. As for her “bad plastic surgery and injections” comment, she needs to say something to Courtney Cox. For real. CC has just ruined her beauty completely.
Oh, I also learned that this interview took place on her “gray cashmere couch in her living room” while she sipped “passion fruit iced tea.” She has a gray cashmere COUCH? I bet that’s a bitch to clean.
