1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Aguilera has amazing skin. She revealed some of her skincare tips and habits to InStyle. “I remove my makeup with MAC wipes, cleanse with a gentle cleanser, and apply eye cream in the morning and night. My beauty must-have is a good, rich moisturizer to keep my dry skin hydrated.” "Some people are inherently a little more greasy. Some people are inherently a little bit more dry. Some people have more sensitive skin, while others can put anything on their face and skin and really have no issues. It's important that people take that into consideration when they're looking for things. If your face is really dry, you might not want to get one of those washes that's geared towards acne or oily skin obviously, because it's going to dry you out more," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Has No Regrets

Aguilera tells InStyle that she doesn’t like to have any regrets. Especially when it comes to fashion. "Looking back on my past looks is always a treat because I honestly don’t feel there are any mistakes or fashion ‘don’ts’ when it comes to glam,” she says. "It’s about exploring and self-expression at that moment in time, and I am proud of the risks I took even if looking back they may not have been the most mainstream.”

3. She Doesn’t Compare Herself To Others

Aguilera opened up about several lessons she’s learned over the years in an interview with L’Official Italia. She says that one way she found self-acceptance was focusing on herself, and not comparing herself to others. “We are all walking on the path of inner research, it is our work as human beings and each one follows a different path, so it makes no sense to make comparisons,” she said. “Swim in your lane. ‘If you waste time looking over your shoulder to see what others are doing, you lose sight of it,’ is the best advice I've ever been given.”

4. She Pushes Herself

Aguilera is always looking for new ways to push herself, both in her career and in her personal life. “I have never stopped looking for new ways to push myself further,” she tells L’Official Italia. She also adds, “Without neglecting to protect myself.”

5. She’s True To Herself

Aguilera tells L’Official Italia that she is comfortable with herself and her body. She says that she is staying true to herself and what feels right to her. “True beauty for me is the ability to know you and project what you are in an unmistakable light. Not always pretty, far from perfect, but pure.”
