Just call it The One Where We Copy Jennifer Aniston’s Glam.
While the 54-year-old “Friends” favorite has long captivated fans and fellow famous folks alike with her iconic hair — who could forget “The Rachel”? — her ageless complexion is every bit as coveted.
And while she recently told the Wall Street Journal she’d “try almost anything” to look young — including a salmon sperm facial her aesthetician once suggested — not all of her beauty staples are quite so fishy.
Just like many of us, Aniston has said that she uses a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturizer, a toner, serums and a scrub in her relatively simple skincare routine.
Below, shop a selection of hair, makeup and skincare standbys she’s praised over the years, from an under-$15 hair brush to the serum stick she swipes on before shooting “The Morning Show.”

Skincare
Shani Darden Retinol Reform Serum
Plenty of stars entrust Hollywood aesthetician Shani Darden with their famous faces, including Aniston, Shay Mitchell and January Jones.
“I love her,” the “Murder Myster” star raved to Byrdie in 2023. “Her retinol is so good, and her serums are fantastic … She has a great lab that she works with, and the packaging is beautiful.”
Tatcha The Serum Stick
Aniston once shared a snap of her “Morning Show” beauty setup on Instagram, giving followers a glimpse at her go-tos from Tatcha — a brand beloved by everyone from Meghan Markle to “Succession” favorite Shiv Roy.
Made of 80% squalane and Japanese lemon balm, this portable product is designed to keep “skin and makeup fresh throughout the day,” per the product description.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
The star’s makeup table also included one of Augustinus Bader’s instantly recognizable gold-and-blue bottles, which everyone from Kris Jenner to Hailey Bieber has been known to keep on hand.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion
You don’t need to be pulling in “Friends” residuals to score all of Aniston’s skincare picks. The longtime Aveeno ambassador’s raved about the drugstore brand on countless occasions over the years, calling this moisturizer a must-have.
“I’m such a creature of habit,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “When I went out on my own, that was a staple in my bathroom. I just love it. I have a bottle in my car. It’s in all of my bathrooms.”
111SKIN Anti-Blemish Bio Cellulose Face Mask (from $32)
111SKIN’s face masks are no stranger to A-listers’ Instagram grids — including Aniston’s. The star selected this blemish-busting treatment prior to the 2021 Emmys, documenting her prep process on social media.
Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar
Aniston doesn’t save gold for her jewelry box. The star once told Vogue she’s a devotee of this 24-karat gold-plated tool designed to “sculpt and define,” per the product description. (Sofia Richie’s also a fan.)
Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask
Few A-list beauty routines are complete without products from red carpet favorite Charlotte Tilbury, and Aniston’s is no exception.
“There are so many wonderful [masks] out there,” she once told Refinery29. “Charlotte Tilbury has a great one right now.”
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Even actresses and pop stars pop pimples. And when it comes to banishing blemishes, Kylie Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore and more all reach for Mario Badescu’s iconic pink potion.
“First I roll my eyes and get annoyed, and usually I will put some sort of a drying lotion on,” Aniston told Elle of how she approaches acne. “I don’t pick it, although I used to. Mario Badescu has a great drying lotion that I used for years and years.”
Aniston’s wired into the latest beauty tech — including this at-home Ziip skincare device, which targets skin with nanocurrents and microcurrents. She’s name-checked it multiple times over the years, including in a 2024 chat with PopSugar.
“Between you and me and, I guess, everybody who’s gonna read this, it’s so effective,” Aniston told the reporter. “I know the woman who designed it … It really, really works.”
Makeup and fragrance
MAC Satin Lipstick in Paramount
This aptly-named red-brown lipstick was Aniston’s signature shade during her days on the “Friends” set.
“I remember that was my go-to color,” she told Glamour in 2017.
Want to smell like Jennifer Aniston? You’re not alone; at the 2024 Golden Globes, Emma Stone was seen gushing to the “Friends” star, “You smell really good.”
While it’s unclear what scent she’d spritzed on before the red carpet, Kai’s website lists Aniston among its famous fans — along with Oprah Winfrey, who once named it a “Favorite Thing”
Its not the only scent the star’s been linked to, however; when promoting her own namesake fragrance launch in 2015, she told E! that Cacharel Anais Anais ($68 $31) was her go-to scent as a teenager.
Aniston spotlighted this hydrating pout product in a 2013 chat with The Cut, when asked what beauty essentials she always has in her bag.
“I like to have my favorite lip balm by Dr. Hauschka,” she said.
Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops
Celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman once told Marie Claire Australia her products have been “inspired in one way or another” by her consistent clients — including Aniston, who she said “has been my girl since 2001, I think, or 2000 even.”
When asked about the “Friends” star’s beauty routine, Westman said she starts with these drops, designed to serve as both a serum and a skin tint.
