Jones worked in the beauty industry for many years before launching her brand Face Junkie in 2022.
Speaking to The US Sun, she revealed the secret to her timeless look.
GLOW
Jones’ skincare routine was a “blend of indulgence and discovery” when she started her career in her 20s.
“I was lucky enough to have access to luxury brands and regular facials,” she said.

“But looking back, there was one thing I overlooked: the importance of sunscreen.
“In the 1990s, there wasn’t as much emphasis on sun protection as there is today.”
Experts recommend using sunscreen to prevent premature aging, UV damage, and increased risk of skin cancer.
Jones said a product from her brand has now become a regular part of her daily skin care routine.
“My daily skin care routine is all about taking care of my skin from morning to night,” she said.
“I rely on our Hero Collection, which I personally curated as a six-part ritual designed to encompass what I call the six elements of skin care.
“Each step in this collection has a purpose: preparation, prevention, protection, detoxification, hydration and regeneration.”
The $150 skincare package includes a Brightening Cleanser for the morning routine, Vitamin C + Neroli Antioxidant Serum, and Neroli Day Cream + Sunscreen.
For nighttime beauty treatments, it contains a Green Tea Antioxidant Cleansing Oil, Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum and Pro-Collagen Night Cream.
The selection of products boasts of making the skin healthy, “radiant and glowing”.
BEAUTY ENHANCERS
Jones plans to sell two ingredients that work wonders for her skin.
“I’m obsessed with Bakuchiol and Niacinamide, they change everything,” she said.
“Bakuchiol has all the benefits of retinol without the irritation, and Niacinamide is my go-to for reducing redness and hyperpigmentation.
“They will both be making their debut in the Face Junkie range soon.
“I also love acid peels for an instant glow and deep exfoliation.”
A holistic approach to skin care is essential to maintain her youthful appearance.
“In addition to my skincare, I also use infrared saunas, which are great for collagen production, and I use Face Junkie’s Facial Ice Globe every morning to firm and de-puff my skin,” she said.
“Ultimately, I believe that what you put into your body shows on your skin.
“That’s why I focus on a healthy, balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats.”
