If you blinked, you might just think you were back in the year 2000. The resemblance between two photos of Jennifer Aniston, taken 17 years apart at the Oscars, is uncanny. From her flat and toned stomach peeking through a split in her black dress to her flowing, sun-kissed hair, there’s hardly a difference between the two images despite the passage of time. How has Aniston, now 48, seemingly found the secret to stopping the aging process?
Seen in the images above, Jennifer Aniston’s stunning appearance at the Oscars in both 2000 and this year was achieved through dedication and a range of treatments. Interested in trying her beauty regimen yourself? Unfortunately, undergoing all the treatments she swears by as often as she does over 17 years would cost an eye-watering £1.2 million, equating to roughly £70,989 annually.
Despite the hefty price tag, it appears to be worthwhile. Aniston’s youthful looks have undeniably contributed to her impressive net worth of £115 million, primarily from lucrative contracts with skincare brand Aveeno and Glaceau Smart Water, rather than acting roles.
While Aniston likely receives numerous complimentary beauty services as a celebrity, everyday individuals looking to mimic her routine would face a substantial financial burden. Let’s break down the hefty price she’s paid for her age-defying appearance…
Diet – £16,328 per year
Before her breakout role on Friends, Aniston admits she carried more weight, leading to a comment from an agent that she was ‘too chubby’ for a part. This prompted her to overhaul her diet, replacing milkshakes and French fries with a low-carb, high-protein Atkins diet in the late nineties. By 2001, she was reportedly a client of Diet Designs, a company providing balanced meals to Hollywood clients like her.
Prior to her breakthrough role on Friends, Aniston was once told by an agent that she missed out on a role because she was considered ‘too overweight’. Despite that, she still maintains a strict diet regime which costs around £16,328 a year just on healthy eating alone.
Aniston starts her day with breakfast usually consisting of avocado on Ezekiel toast or a smoothie, avoiding gluten for more of a vanity reason rather than a health one. She believes that a diet high in carbs is not ideal for weight management.
Maintaining her youthful appearance comes at a cost. Aniston has tried numerous skin treatments over the years, with her current favorite being the CACI laser facial – a non-surgical facelift also favored by Meghan Markle. Each session costs around £50, and she recommends getting it done once a month, totaling around £600 a year just on this treatment alone. She has also expressed her love for other treatments like lasers, Thermage, Ultherapy, and microcurrent facials.
Aniston’s youthful appearance doesn’t come cheap, with the star reportedly spending over £6,000 a year on various beauty treatments. One of her favorite treatments involves using special wands that deliver positive and negative currents to tighten her skin, costing around £90 per hour and recommended monthly.
Another treatment Aniston swears by is Ultherapy, which costs around £750 per session and is done every six months. This treatment, although said to be painful, uses ultrasound waves to tighten the skin from within.
To reduce facial wrinkles and acne scars, Aniston also undergoes laser treatments, costing around £250 for a 30-minute session and recommended four times a year. Before major events, she treats herself to the Red Carpet Facial at the Tracie Martyn Spa, which costs £360 and is an annual indulgence.
Considering all her beauty treatments amount to just over £6,000 a year, it’s clear that Aniston is dedicated to maintaining her appearance. However, she still keeps her cleansing routine simple and affordable with the low-cost Neutrogena Facial Cleansing bar, which only costs £2.26.
In addition to her beauty regimen, Aniston also invests in her fitness, spending approximately £37,960 a year on working out. She exercises six times a week at home with her trainer Mandy Ingber, focusing on stretching, cardio, and barre work. Each session with Mandy costs around £730, totaling around £243 per session.
Lastly, Aniston’s gorgeous hair doesn’t come without a price either, with her annual haircare expenses reaching around £6,975.
Aniston and her hairdresser Chris McMillan have been close friends for years. McMillan is the genius behind the famous ‘Rachel’ cut that Aniston sported during her time on Friends. Despite Aniston joking that it wasn’t her best look, she still trusts McMillan with her locks, with visits every six weeks for a £450 haircut.
In terms of hair products, Aniston has switched between brands over the years, from Shu Uemura to Living Proof and back again. With McMillan by her side during promotional trips, it’s no wonder that her hair always looks fabulous.
When it comes to Aniston’s makeup routine, she keeps it simple with products like Chanel mascara, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, and Armani Foundation. With a preference for Hauschka lip balm and Chanel compacts, Aniston’s makeup costs can add up to a significant amount each year.
Aniston is known for her flawless complexion, and she takes good care of her neck as well. She reportedly spends around £366 a year on neck creams and treatments to keep her skin looking youthful and smooth.
No woman enjoys the look of their neck after turning 40, including Jennifer Aniston who is rumored to be a fan of Euoko Fractional Neck Lift Concentrate with a price tag of £366. This product boasts an interesting ingredient called ‘Discovered-on-Mars Iron Rose Crystal, from Effusive Magma Rock in Hydrothermal Seams.’ A single jar of this concentrate can reportedly last Jennifer a year.
Jennifer Aniston’s only confirmed cosmetic procedures are two nose jobs, one done before her time on Friends and the other around 2008. After her highly publicized divorce from Brad Pitt and his subsequent relationship with Angelina Jolie, Aniston sought out plastic surgeon Dr Raj Kanodia in Beverly Hills for her second rhinoplasty. The average cost range for a rhinoplasty with Dr Raj is between £7,000 to £10,000, totaling to possibly around £20,000 over two decades.
There has been speculation about a potential breast augmentation for Jennifer Aniston, although she has never confirmed it. Some believe any changes in her chest could be attributed to weight fluctuations. Dr Zara Harutyunyan, a Hollywood plastic surgeon, suggested that Aniston may have undergone a mastopexy for a raised and firm chest, which could cost around £5,000.
In total, accounting for 17 years between photos, Jennifer Aniston’s reported cosmetic procedures could amount to £1,206,813, along with £25,000 on one-time treatments to her nose and breasts. This brings the estimated grand total to £1,231,813.
