10 Celebs in Their 50s Who Look Half Their Age
Turning 50 can be tough for many. Let's face it: Looking and feeling your best is time-consuming work. As you age, your body begins to change in many ways you may not have expected. Many celebrities, such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, and Salma Hayek, are in their 50s, and look almost the same way they did in their 20s and 30s, leaving many wondering what their secrets are. Here are 10 celebrities who've spoken about their wellness, skincare, and beauty routines to help them look and feel their absolute best.
1. Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez (55) may be the definition of timeless beauty. In 2022, she let her Instagram followers in on her simple skincare routine that keeps her complexion glowy and supple. In this video, the celeb revealed that she has a four-step morning routine, which includes using the serum from her JLO Beauty line.
"Putting on my serum as usual—morning and night," she explained. "Vitamins for the face. I like to think of it like taking my vitamins first thing in the morning."

2. Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner (53) told Byrdie that one of the most important skincare products she uses is Neutrogena sunscreen.
"Skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancers, so applying SPF is a non-negotiable for everyone, all the time, every day. I love products that pull double-duty—or, in this case, triple-duty—which is why I use Neutrogena's Invisible Daily Defense Sunscreen Face Serum. It's a 60 SPF, a makeup primer, and moisturizer. It's such a great product," she shared.
3. Halle Berry
Halle Berry (58) has always been gorgeous, and her 50s have been no exception. She told Glamour that her impressive skin is the result of years of consistent care.
"I have taken care of this skin since I was 13, morning and night, religiously," Halle said. "I've had a program, I've been consistent, and I've never wavered. Even on my drunken nights when I'd stumble in the house in my early 20s, guess what? I'd be in the bathroom washing that face off, as drunk as I was! So, no, it's consistency, and I've been doing it since I was 13."

4. Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston (56) is a lover of Aveeno skincare products and always uses beauty staples that are as natural as possible.
"We are sold such a bill of goods wrapped up in expensive packaging but I have found that when it comes to a skincare routine, the simpler the better," she shared with Vogue. "I find it very interesting and working with beauty brands like Aveeno helped me to learn that there are so many chemicals in products that really aren't good for skin."
Jen did commercials the brand for years and is still a huge fan.

5. Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek (58) has a radiant complexion. Her go-to secret is a unique product that clearly keeps her skin looking youthful.
"I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that's used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there's no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us," Salma revealed to ELLE Magazine. "Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like 'Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?' This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.

6. Penelope Cruz
Academy Award winner Penélope Cruz (50) shared the secrets behind her ageless beauty to InStyle, as reported by New Beauty. To stay young and in shape, Penelope is a big fan of Bikram yoga classes.
"You're drenched in sweat throughout the entire class. It's 90 minutes, but once you conquer 60, the last 30 gets easier," she shared. "I used to be sluggish, and now my level of energy is through the roof. It's like magic, but you have to earn that magic."

7. Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones (55) is drop-dead gorgeous, and it has much to do with her self-care routine. She shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with W Magazine, noting, "Water, maintaining my PH balance, no alcohol and through diet keeping my body free of any inflammation inside and out."
The celeb also stays in top shape by performing a variety of workouts, including swimming, yoga, hula-hooping, and dancing.
8. Meredith Marks
Reality TV star Meredith Marks (53) has charmed viewers with her iconic quotes, gorgeous fashion, and ageless face. Many fans wonder how she keeps her skin looking healthy. Meredith shared some of her favorite products in an interview with Us Weekly.
"I love skincare products. I am always trying new things and I got a lot of these products in the box by Dr. Ava. She does a quarterly subscription which allows me to try a lot of new products. She's just such a talented doctor, always on the forefront of new cutting-edge skincare. "
She also shared, "This is my little SoMe refrigerator where I have my roller from the Skinny Confidential. It's cold and it feels good and it kind of gets rid of swelling. What also needs to be refrigerated is this SoMe Serum and it's really cool because they actually drew my blood, they spun it. They take out the P R P and mix it into this serum. It's really very customized. It has to be cold because when the product hits the air, that's what actually stimulates all of the effects."
9. Viola Davis
Viola Davis (59) is not only one of the most legendary actresses in Hollywood, but also one of the most ageless. One of her secrets is working out on a consistent basis, and she's kind enough to share a lot of her go-to workouts on Instagram.
While training for The Woman King, Viola worked with trainer Gabriela McClain and did a lot of running on the treadmill. She posted this video of herself running at different speeds on Instagram.
10. Julie Bowen
Modern Family star Julie Bowen (55) shared her skincare routine with Well + Good.
"I used to have oily skin, but as I get older, it gets drier. I love the Weleda Skin Food—it's an ultra-rich face cream that feels like a paste, it's the best. I've also got a couple vitamin C serums on rotation and then I use Supergoop! sunscreen. Or I'll use IT Cosmetics Nude Glow CC cream if I want to feel more pulled together. It's sheer enough, but evens out my freckles," she said.
