Jennifer Aniston Spills Her Secret to Perfect Skin
Say what you will, but I've always rooted for Team Jen. My love for Jennifer Aniston started during her days as the annoying but oh-so-loveable Rachel Green, and her recent impression of Chelsea Handler on "After Lately" only solidified my girl crush. She's funny, she's hot, and she's only getting better with age.
The star is 43 years old. For-ty-three. So of course, I want to know how the heck she keeps her skin looking more youthful and flawless than my supposedly-at-peak 20-something complexion. That's why I was all ears when the intrepid beauty reporter -- aka Conan 'O Brian -- found out.

On his late-night TV show, Conan asked the star how she keeps her skin so flawless. Her response: "I'm obsessed with laser porn."
Come again, Jen?
Aniston said she uses laser therapy to zap away the age spots from her Cali-bred complexion. She also revealed that she loves chemical peels. "It's extremely intense … you look like a battered burn victim for a week," she said. "The dead skin on your face just kind of falls off for eight days."
Conan joked, "I hope you saved the [fallen] face afterwards -- that is eBay gold!"
As much as I love me my Jen, I'm not in the market for her dead skin cells. What I wouldn't mind having is, well, everything else. Her trend-setting hair, her perfect skin, her amazingly-toned abs … I could go on. So I did something a little creepy.
I tracked down every last detail of Jennifer Aniston's look and found out how much it would cost me to look like her. Curious? Click here.
Aniston uses a pretty wide variety of products on her skin. She's said that her long-time favorite cleanser is the Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar, $3.45, and also says she uses Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream, $47. But here's the ringer: Before award shows and red carpet appearances, she also visits the Tracie Martyn Spa for Martyn's signature Red Carpet Facial. This treatment costs $450 and clients typically leave with her "Famous Purple Bag" of at-home products, which costs $391.50. This puts Aniston's estimated skin care total at $891.95 if she gets one facial a month. This is, of course, not counting the aforementioned laser treatments and chemical peels.

Aniston usually gets her hair cut by celebrity stylist Chris McMillan, who owns Chris McMillan The Salon in Beverly Hills, Calif. and co-owns McMillan Canale Salon in Malibu, Calif. with Aniston's colorist Michael Canale. A haircut at the salon will generally cost about $200 to $350, but with McMillan himself it's $600. Pretty steep, but he is the creator of "The Rachel." For highlights, Canale's rates start at $320. So a day at the salon for Aniston (who is rumored to go religiously every six weeks) will cost at least $920 -- before tips. At home, Aniston mostly uses Chris McMillan products. His starter kit, which includes shampoo, conditioner, and repair mask, is a shockingly affordable $29.95. See how to copy Aniston's tousled hair with this video tutorial.
Obviously, Aniston's makeup look changes often, so I decided to just pick one as an example. Want to see the beauty products Aniston's regular makeup artist, Angela Levin, used on her for a "Harper's Bazaar" cover shoot? Click here. Since the look is a pretty typical one for Aniston, it's a good guideline if you want to copy her makeup. The total of all the beauty products comes out to $402. All of this doesn't include the makeup artist fees. While Levin doesn't disclose her rates, Crystal Wright, a career advisor in the beauty industry, says some celebrity makeup artists' rates start at $4,000 per day, so we'll use that as a rough estimate. Total cost: $4,402.

Aniston has had brow guru Anastasia Soare shaping her brows for years. A session with Soare herself costs $120 for the first visit and $80 after that. The salon says some people come in every week for touch-ups, while others only come every month or two months; it depends on how fast your brows grow and how picky you are about them.
