Jennifer Aniston has revealed her bathroom “habit” for the first time. The Friends actress has confirmed that it is this habit that keeps her skin looking youthful.

She’s been Hollywood’s ultimate beauty icon for decades, and now Jennifer Aniston is finally letting fans in on one of her best-kept secrets. In a recent interview, the Friends star opened up about a simple yet surprising bathroom habit that she credits for keeping her skin glowing and youthful — and fans can’t stop talking about it.

For years, the 55-year-old actress has been admired for her seemingly ageless complexion. From red carpets to makeup-free selfies, Aniston’s radiant skin has sparked endless curiosity, with fans wondering how she maintains that effortless glow.

And now, for the first time, she’s pulling back the curtain.

The Bathroom Habit Everyone’s Talking About

During a candid beauty segment with a popular lifestyle magazine, Aniston revealed:

“Every single morning — before anything else — I splash my face with ice-cold water for a full minute. It’s the first thing I do when I step into the bathroom.”

Yes, that’s it. No fancy machines. No invasive procedures. Just one minute of bracing cold water — a routine she swears by.

“It wakes me up, tightens my pores, boosts circulation, and honestly, I think it’s the reason my skin has held up all these years,” Aniston explained.

Why It Works: The Science Behind It

Dermatologists weren’t surprised by the revelation. Splashing the face with cold water — sometimes referred to as a “cold water plunge” — is known to:

Constrict blood vessels, reducing puffiness and inflammation.

Tighten skin, leading to a firmer, smoother appearance.

Boost circulation, delivering nutrients to skin cells for a natural glow.

Help maintain the skin’s natural barrier, reducing dryness and irritation.

“Cold water therapy isn’t just an old wives’ tale,” said celebrity dermatologist Dr. Elaine Harper. “It’s a simple but effective method for maintaining skin tone and reducing signs of fatigue and aging.”

Aniston’s Full Routine — Simple, Sustainable, and Effective

While the cold-water habit is the cornerstone of her morning, Jennifer also shared that she pairs it with other skin-loving practices:

Hydration: Drinking a large glass of lemon water immediately after.

Minimal makeup: Allowing her skin to breathe most days.

Consistent sleep and stress management: Including meditation and early bedtimes.

Clean skincare: Favoring gentle, fragrance-free products.

“I think it’s consistency more than anything,” she added. “It’s not about doing some wild procedure. It’s the little things every day that add up.”

Fans React: “Be Right Back, Splashing My Face”

The internet responded quickly — and enthusiastically.

“Jennifer Aniston told me to splash cold water on my face, and now I’m doing it religiously,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Another wrote, “Forget expensive serums — I’m investing in my bathroom faucet.”

TikTok creators and influencers jumped on the trend, with the hashtag #AnistonHack racking up millions of views in just 24 hours.

Is It the Fountain of Youth?

While no beauty tip is truly magic, experts agree that Aniston’s habit is part of a larger truth: simple, low-cost routines often have the biggest long-term impact on skin health.

“It’s refreshing — pun intended — to see someone as high-profile as Jennifer promoting something accessible,” said beauty columnist Maya Greene.

Aniston’s Message: Keep It Simple

Jennifer closed the interview with a final note of encouragement:

“We’re all searching for the magic trick, but honestly, it’s less about magic and more about treating your skin kindly every single day. And yeah — a splash of cold water never hurts.”
