There’s always been a fascination around how J Lo gets her gorgeous, youthful glow. Now you too can get that airbrushed goddess complexion with her brand new beauty line landing in January with a hero ingredient – olive oil. Another thing J Lo lives by? ‘The five s’s’ – “sleep, sunscreen, serum, supplements, and sano, a riff on the Spanish phrase vivir sano, to live healthily”, she told Vogue. Expect multitasking serums, wonder creams, a glowing mask and dietary supplements amongst other stellar formulas all encased in stunning gold packaging. We.can’t.wait!
