Jones opened up about her wellness routine to Into The Gloss. She says that with her busy schedule, she prioritizes her me-time. “I always love taking moments for myself,” she says. “I like to take 20 minutes to lay in the bath, with a mask in my hair and a mask on my face.”

Jones opened up about her skincare routine to Into The Gloss. “I think I started really caring about my skin when I was modeling, just because we have to wear so much makeup. I don't get facials professionally done, either—I like to do them at home. I find something very calming and therapeutic about treatments at home.”

Jones makes sure to take vitamins. “I am very good about taking my vitamins,” she says to Into The Gloss. “I think my dad instilled that in me. I take vitamin C, vitamin B, turmeric, and I take probiotics and enzymes.

4. She Takes Care Of Her Nails

Jones tells Into The Gloss what she does to take care of her nails. “I do take Biotin,” she says. “I'm not sure if it does anything or not, but I started taking it for my nails because I had to wear acrylics for nine years for Mad Men. After we wrapped, I didn't touch them. I just let them breathe for over a year. And I literally got a gel manicure for the first time a month or so ago. I'll either do a classic red or a pinky nude—just something simple."

5. She Improves Her Posture

Jones revealed some of her favorite workouts to Shape. She says that she does things that will help with her posture and back. “I wanted to do something for my posture and core strength. Two or three years ago I started doing barre classes, and after that I took regular private Pilates lessons. Then a friend told me about Lagree Pilates. I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle.”

January Jones, star of Mad Men, The Politician and Spinning Out, is ready for some vitamin D, if not the suntan. “Gonna be another pasty girl summer 🌞,” the 44-year-old captioned a brand new swimsuit photo on her social media.

1. She Moderates Her Diet Without Restrictions

"I don't deprive myself of anything. If I want something—steak, a bagel—I'll eat it. There's no diet or strict set of rules," she once told Shape. ”Aim for a combined seven - nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day provides a variety of antioxidants, b-vitamins, dietary fiber and a host of additional plant chemicals known to help prevent disease,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Eat a variety of orange carrots and oranges, red peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, and peaches, purple plums, green celery, lettuce, and kiwis and yellow peppers and bananas. Choosing a rainbow of colors helps ensure a diverse intake of nutrients.”

2. She Uses Face Masks

Speaking of skin, Jones uses hydrating face masks. "These are my current favorite masks for exfoliating and moisture," she once explained in an Instagram caption. "These change all the time depending on what my skin is needing, (factoring in weather, travel and stress)." “When it comes to skin care I tell all my patients that your priority should be cleansing, daily sunscreen and daily moisturizing,” Shilpi Khetarpal, MD told the Cleveland Clinic. “But a face mask can be complimentary to a good skin care routine.”

3. Here’s Her Workout

“Lagree is quite difficult, but I’ve found that it’s the only thing that really makes me feel stronger, and I’m loving it. The music is good and there’s always a different routine, so it doesn’t get boring. There are 10 of us in the class, and I like having women on both sides of me to push me. When I did the private Pilates lessons a couple of years ago, I just saw myself getting lazy with it because there wasn’t that drive for competition. For me, that’s what’s motivating. If there’s someone strong next to me, I definitely want to up my game. I find myself looking forward to it more than I’ve ever looked forward to a workout,” she told Shape.

4. She Likes Bubble Baths

“Many people benefit from practices such as deep breathing, tai chi, yoga, meditation, mindfulness or being in nature. Set aside time for yourself,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Get a massage, soak in a bubble bath, dance, listen to music, watch a comedy — whatever helps you relax. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you manage stress. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Make a conscious effort to spend less time in front of a screen — television, tablet, computer and phone — and more time relaxing.”

5. She Drinks Celery Juice

“Juicing extracts the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables. The liquid contains most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) found in the fruit. However, whole fruits and vegetables also have healthy fiber, which is lost during most juicing,” says the Mayo Clinic.

January Jones, from Mad Men, The Politician and Spinning Out, is recovering from knee surgery. She just shared an update on Instagram.

Yesterday I went to a birthday party with my son, and I wore humongous red sweatpants because I had my period. My sister said, ‘Are you actually wearing those out?’ I thought about it for a moment, but I still wore them. Who cares? They’re my period pants!”
