Would YOU pay €1,395,954 freeze to time like Jen?
Two pictures, a staggering 17 years apart. So how does Jennifer Aniston do it? Taking her own clues, we reveal what it would cost you to get the same dazzling results
BLINK, and you might imagine it was the year 2000 again. How else can one explain the astonishing similarity between these two pictures of Jennifer Aniston, one taken at this year’s Oscars ceremony, the other 17 years ago at the same event?
From the flash of bronzed and toned tummy through her split-to-the-navel, floor-length black gown to the long, sunkissed tresses, you’d be hard pressed to find a single difference between the two images, despite the passing of the years.
So how has Aniston, 48, seemingly managed to halt the hands of Father Time?
The answer: hard work, unstinting focus — and a litany of treatments.
Fancy trying it? Unfortunately, to have all of the treatments Aniston talks about the recommended number of times over the course of 17 years will cost an astonishing €1.4 million, or €81,596 a year.
It’s worth it, though. After all, those youthful looks have helped her earn a fortune — Aniston’s €132million net worth is said to be largely founded on long-standing commercial deals with the likes of skincare range Aveeno (rumoured to pay her more than €11 million in a rolling deal) and Glaceau Smart Water, rather than acting.
Of course, being Jennifer Aniston, she will receive many complimentary beauty services. But if you or I were to attempt her regime, it would cost a king’s ransom.
Here, we analyse the price she’s paid to hold back the years . . .
FACE — €6,900
THAT eternally fresh-faced look doesn’t come cheap — or easily. Aniston has tried pretty much every skin treatment going, and she has reaped the rewards.
Since 2000, her skincare regime has become increasingly high-tech. Back then, she was a fan of face creams containing AHAs — alpha hydroxy acids — a gentle chemical exfoliant. Today, her top treatment is the CACI laser facial — a kind of nonsurgical facelift also favoured by Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle.
It costs around €57 a session, and is recommended once a month — thus costing Aniston €684 a year on this one treatment alone. She rhapsodised about the effects last year: ‘I love lasers and Thermage and Ultherapy [ultrasound facials]. I also like a good microcurrent facial.’
The latter is, says Aniston, ‘like a little workout for your face’.
Two wands — one delivering a positive current, the other negative — are held against the face to tighten the skin. It costs around €100 an hour, and is recommended monthly.
As for Ultherapy, it costs around €862 a pop and is used every six months.
Said to be excruciating, it uses ultrasound waves to tighten the skin from the inside.
Lasers are then used to reduce her facial wrinkles or acne scars — ‘a great refresher’, Aniston says. Costing around €290 for 30 minutes, it is recommended around four times a year.
And before very special events, Jen is said to enjoy the Red Carpet Facial at the Tracie Martyn Spa, costing €414, which she is likely to treat herself to once a year.
Given, then, that all her treatments could cost just over €6,900 a year in total, it is
