(I reapplied a few times over the course of the weekend). So maybe the Sea Breeze actually did something for my skin? It’s probably too soon to tell, but I’m going to keep going with it. In fact, I felt a pimple forming under my nose on Saturday, and by Sunday evening, it had basically disappeared. The astringent definitely tingled on contact, so I worried it might make my sensitive skin react, but that wasn’t the case. These two items set me back all of about $10, so what did I have to lose? “Sea Breeze is that astringent,” she told TODAY. Treating myself to a Jamie Lee-inspired beauty sesh provided the perfect opportunity to try out her drugstore power duo, which she revealed to TODAY in 2018: Sea Breeze toner and Nivea moisturizer. While I'm totally behind the curve on TikTok trends, I still love a good #selfcaresunday. Her two-step skincare routine actually helped my skin. Multitasking can be helpful when it comes to making time for a workout, and catching up with a friend during (or after) a class is a great motivator to get you out the door. The class's pace was likely faster than a leisurely Jamie stroll, but the ethos was similar. It turns out that Jamie was definitely on to something, because having friends sweat with you makes everything feel a little more approachable, and I was definitely less in my head and worried about messing up. I'd never done this workout before, so I was nervous. I went to an SLT workout class with friends (I’m on the far right in the blue shirt) in true Jamie Lee Curtis style. The 50-minute class is half toning via a Pilates megaformer and half treadmill workout, and it was perfect for my weekend experiment. Luckily, a friend of mine, Hilary Sheinbaum, actually organized a very Jamie Lee Curtis-friendly midday workout class at the new SLT Tread studio in celebration of her book, The Dry Challenge. Unfortunately, Saturday was a soggy, rainy day in the New York City area, which did not motivate me to get up and hit a workout. In 2021, OK! Magazine reported that the actress likes doing yoga and Pilates-but also opts to pound the pavement with friends. Jamie is fond of a good partner sweat sesh. I got my sweat on with some good friends. I wouldn’t call it denial exactly-just putting temporary blinders on, which, I think, Jamie might say is good for the psyche and soul. I can be my own worst critic, so it was freeing to not have an opportunity to notice how tired I look, or to dwell on the sunspots, the wrinkles around my eyes when I smile, or the rosacea on my right cheek. This practice made me more aware of how often I mindlessly look at myself. “I turn my back to the mirror, and I feel great!” “When I get out of the shower, I have a choice: I can dry myself off looking in the mirror, or I can dry myself off with my back to it,” Curtis said in a Good Housekeeping interview back in 2018. The actress says she finds freedom when she has fewer opportunities to pick her body and face apart. On Friday morning I began my Jamie-approved, self-imposed mirror break. Here’s what happened when I tried Jamie Lee Curtis’ healthiest, age-defying habits. At the end of my 72-hours, I’d reflect on how I felt. I picked four of Jamie's best practices across her beauty, health, fitness, and diet routines, and spent the weekend living my best, Jamie Lee Curtis-inspired life. So, I wanted to see if the tips and tricks could work for me, too. I’m almost 30 years younger than Jamie, but I’ve started to think about aging and how I want to go about it gracefully while still looking and feeling strong. Heck, she even co-authored 13 children’s books, including one about being brave in the face of firsts.Īuthentically herself and brutally honest, Jamie just oozes confidence, so I jumped at the chance to try out some of her wellness practices. And Jamie brings that youthful attitude to her everyday life, pushing herself to try new things, from running a 5K to writing a screenplay. “I feel good in my skin, in my mind, in my body,” the star told Hoda Kotb on TODAY earlier this year, as she approached her 64th birthday in November. So it totally makes sense that Jamie has also been vocal about embracing the aging process. She's called out social media for its unrealistic beauty standards, and espoused a “been there, done that-and won’t do it again!” philosophy towards plastic surgery. She's posted makeup-free selfies, and posed nude. The Halloweenfranchise's Scream Queen Supreme has talked openly about her sobriety and her everything-in-moderation approach. Actress, author, and activist Jamie Lee Curtis has made no secret of all the wellness journeys she's been on through the years.
