Murder Mystery 2 star Jennifer Aniston says her best way to approach wellness is to ask how best to take care of herself—and her friends
clearly play a big part in that. Aniston, who plays Audrey Spitz in the Netflix movie, shared highlights on instagram of some special moments
with loved ones this year—including a video of her walking down to the beach wearing a black bikini and straw hat. “Summertime photo
dump,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress is thriving at 54, and what she really thinks about “The Rachel” haircut.
Aniston credits mindfulness for her ageless glow. “That means staying away from my phone as long as I can in the morning (which infuriates some people), meditating, and not letting the world bombard me like it does, which is especially important in the business that we’re in,” she says. “I used to just burst myself into the world and not have a moment, and I think it’s so important to give yourself that extra 30 minutes in the morning, which is usually the minimum of what I try to give myself to be alone and do absolutely nothing.”
Aniston collaborates with Vital Proteins and swears by collagen every day. “Back in 2014, my doctor asked if I eat breakfast (which I didn’t really), and he said to try this protein powder in a shake—and it was Vital Proteins,” she says. “I’ve taken ingestible collagen every morning since then, and I’ve noticed such a difference in my hair, nails, endurance, and workouts.” Aniston is also diligent about staying hydrated. “The best beauty tip I have for people is to sleep and drink water, honestly,” she says. “Did you know that so few people actually drink water? I’ll get mad at my friend Courteney Cox all the time because she’ll tell me she hasn’t had a sip of water today—and I’m like…are you out of your mind? Water is everything.”
