| (2000) 72nd Annual Academy awards |
 |
| (2017) 89th Annual Academy awards |
The actresses beauty secrets to her "youthful" look have recently been revealed by English reporter Alison Boshoff for the Daily Mail with the help of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Raj Kanodia. To begin - we'll turn the clock back by a full 17-years. In comparing these photo's of Jennifer from the 72nd Annual Academy awards, which took place in 2000 - to the 89th Annual Academy awards, which recently took place in 2017 - there is little difference. Blink, and you might imagine it was the year 2000 again. It's worth, it though. After all, those youthful looks have helped Jennifer earn a fortune (Aniston's $115-million net worth) is said to be largely founded on long-standing commercial deals with the likes of skincare range Aveeno (rumored to pay her more than $10-million in a rolling deal) and Glaceau SmartWater, rather than acting. How else can one explain the astonishing similarity between these two pictures of Jennifer? The answer is: "Hard work, unstinting focus - and a litany of treatments.
Here's the breakdown:
DIET - $16,328 per-year

Pre-'
Friends' and pre-fame, there was rather more of Jennifer Aniston - yep, we're talking the lovely, thin, beautiful miss Jennifer Aniston was once like the rest of us - well, "fat". One of her former agents let her know too, to which Aniston was like, 'What?' - "But my diet was terrible," she says, "It consisted of milkshakes and french fries covered in gravy. It was a good thing to start paying attention." In the late nineties, this meant adopting the low-carb, high-protein Atkins diet.
By 2001, Jennifer was reported to be a client of Diet Designs, the company started by the late Hollywood dietician Carrie Wiatt, which sends balanced meals to homes and film locations for Wiatt's starry clients. Jennifer herself is said to still take the meals. One week worth of meals costs - $314 - making a total of $16,328 per-year on healthy eating alone. Aniston said, "Breakfast is usually avocado on Ezekiel toast [bread which is high in protein and contains sprouted grains] or a smoothie. For me, not eating gluten is more of a vanity thing. A diet heavy in carbs is not that great in terms of weight."
FACE - $6,040 per-year
That eternally fresh-faced look doesn't come cheap - or easily. Aniston has tried pretty much every skin treatment going, and she has reaped the rewards. Since 2000, her skincare regime has become increasingly high-tech. In the beginning of her career Jennifer was a fan of face creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) - a gentle chemical exfoliant. Today, her top treatment is the CACI laser facial - a kind of non-surgical facelift. It costs an estimated $50-per session, and is recommended once a month - thus costing Aniston $600-per year on this one treatment alone. She rhapsodised about the effects last year: "I love lasers and Thermage and Ultherapy [ultrasound facials]. I also like a good microcurrent facial. I like a little workout on your face."
Two-wands - one delivering a positive current, the other negative - are held against the face to tighten the skin. It costs around $90-per hour, and is recommended monthly. As for Ultherapy, it costs an estimated $750 a pop and is used every six months. Said to be excruciating, it uses ultrasound waves to tighten the skin from the inside. It's like they say, "Pain in beauty". Lasers are then used to reduce Jennifer's facial wrinkles or acne scars - "a great refresher", Aniston says. Costing an estimated $250 for 30-minutes, it is recommended around four times a year. Before very special events (in her case film premieres, award shows and other public appearances), Jen is said to enjoy the "Red Capet Facial" at the Tracie Martyn Spa, costing $360, which she is likely to treat herself to once a year. Given, then, that all her treatments could cost just over $6,000-per year in total, it is perhaps just as well that Aniston is loyal to the low-cost Neutragena Facial Cleansing bar, which costs just $2.26.
LEGS - $27,960 per-year

Fitness fanatic Jennifer works out six times a week in the privacy of her huge Bel-Air Beverly Hills, California mansion. Three of her sessions are spent with her friend and personal trainer Mandy Ingber, at a reported $730-per week. Together, Aniston and Ingber focus on her favorite exercises: stretching, cardio and bar work.
Aniston says, "I like to be by myself when I workout, and I also have a gym. Sometimes I'll invite my girlfriends over. I love yoga, but I switch it up all the time. I just keeps my body unaware of what it'll be doing next." Of her workouts with Mandy, Jen says, "I feel like I am getting a meditation, a workout and time with my friend, all rolled into one hour." At an approximate cost of $243-a single session, that's some hour.
HAIR - $6,975 per-year

| 1995 - Jennifer sporting "The Rachel" by hairdresser Chris McMillan |
Aniston is best friends with her hairdresser Chris McMillan, who has been tending to her naturally wavy crowning glory since before the start of '
Friends' in 1994, and was responsible for the much-imitated layered look 'The Rachel' cut. McMillan says, "When I first met Jennifer, she had long, one-length hair with a fringe, and she was like: 'Don't cut my hair. I want my hair long.' But I'm a hairdresser, so I obviously cut her hair and told her: 'You need to grow out your fringe'. I cut a couple inches off, and layered it from her fringe down to the ends. Six weeks layer, she came back for another haircut - her sides were longer and we just cut a little more off her length. The next thing you know, her grown-out fringe was down to her chin, and the rest of her hair was at her shoulders in these long, loose layers that sort of flipped out.

And that's what we called "The Rachel". Aniston remarked during a previous interview in 2011: "I LOVE Chris, and he's the bane of my existence - but at the same time - because he started the damn 'Rachel', which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the UGLIEST haircut that I've EVER seen." McMillan also converted her from cheap and cheerful Aussie Three-Minute Miracle conditioner to more costly Shu Uemura products and his own product line. After landing a deal with Living Proof haircare in 2012, Jennifer reportedly switched to their products. However, she parted with the company after it was bought by Unilever a few months later.

It's unclear which products Jennifer uses for her hair today. As for treatments, McMillan charges $450 for a cut, and Aniston sees him every six weeks, but it's unclear whether she pays because they are close friends. Chris also travels with her when she is on promotional business for films. When this happens, Chris's fees and travel and accommodation costs will be net by Jennifer's film company. Her honey-blond color is taken care of by Michael Canale who charges from $325 for base and highlights. If she sees both Chris and Michael every six weeks and pays for it all herself, it would add up to $6,975 per-year.
MAKE-UP $676-per year

Aniston's daily make-up modest enough consisting of Chanel mascara ($25) and concealer ($27), Laura Mecier tinted moisturizer ($35) - or on a bad skin day Armani Face Fabric foundation ($40). Jennifer also likes Hauschka lip balm ($10) and a Chanel foundation compact ($32), which means it's already costing her $169 to step out of her house. Estimating that most women need to refill their make-up bags around four times a year, Aniston probably spends just under $700 on make-up every 12-months (that's IF she buys her products herself, of course).
BROWS - $720
Always immaculate, Aniston invests hundreds of dollars a year in caring for her eyebrows. She employs Hollywood brow guru Anastasia Soare and has down so for years - charges at least $60-per visit. Once a month would be a typical schedule, although some people come in every week for touch-ups. A monthly visit at that price would come to $720 per-year.
TAN - $1,924 per-year

Albeit, given Aniston has Greek roots she has naturally tan skin, but with that being said, "Hollywood is Hollywood". A fake tan fan for decades, Aniston has been seen at the Ibiza Tanning Salon in West Hollywood, California, where she is said to get its airbrush spray tan for $37. If she goes once a week, it adds up to $1,7924 per-year.
NECK - $366 per-year
No woman over the age of 40 likes her neck, and Jennifer Aniston is NO exception. She apparently swears by Euoko Fractional Neck Lift Concentrate, which costs $366. It lists as one of its ingredients: 'Discovered-on-Mars Iron Rose Crystal, from Effusive Magma Rock in Hydrothermal Seams.' One post should last Jen a year.
NOSE - $20,000 per-year
Aniston's only confirmed plastic surgeries are her two nose jobs - one pre-'
Friends' and one apparently in around 2008 done by Dr. Raj Kanodia, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, did the honors for her second rhinoplasty. Average costs for a rhinoplasty with Dr. Raj runs anywhere from $7,0000 to $10,000, making it likely that Jen has paid at around $20,000 on her nose over the past two-decades.
CHEST - possibly $5,000
The reason we say "possibly" is because this one isn't necessarily a "definite" thing. The question is: 'Has she?', or 'Hasn't she?' There has been a LOT of speculation, but never an admission of any breast augmentation. Some fluctuation could be explained by a little weight gain. However, Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. Zara Harutyunyan has confirmed: "I believe Jennifer may have had a mastopexy, which raises and firms the breasts rather than enlarging them" Such a procedure would cost around $5,000.
Annual total - $70,989 total for 17-years between pictures $1,206,813 in (2000), plus ($25,000) on reported one-off plastic surgery treatments to Jennifer's nose an breasts...
FINAL FIGURE - $1,231,813
So the real question is: "Would 'you' pay $1.2-million to freeze time like Jen?" Two pictures, a staggering 17-years apart. So how does Jennifer do it. Now you know.
