‘Some of us had drier hair than others, and they’d take out a bottle of olive oil and they’d put it in your hair,’ she told the magazine.
‘Then it would drip down onto your face, and the next day, your complexion looked like you were 10 years old. Even when I was working in the business, and they would be gluing stuff to my head, and hitting me in the face with a fan at 100 miles per hour on movie sets, I’d come home and lather myself in it.’

She also fussed over her serum.
‘I sent it back, like, 26 times over two years,’ she said.
‘They were ready to strangle me, but I was like, No, it has to have an instant effect, so that when you put it on, it tightens and you get a glow, and right away your skin feels better and looks more beautiful.’
And she did her research.
‘I’ve tried everything from the cheap products at the drugstore to the most expensive stuff—and some of these masks can run you $50 to $200, okay?’ she said,

Max and Emme helped out as did her fiance Alex Rodriguez who did a face mask with her.
‘[Alex] tries everything. We did the mask together on the first night, and I filmed myself and it was just life-changing. I was like, My God, I feel like I have a baby face!’ she said.
‘He loves it, and now we’re always fighting for the mask since they’re not in full production. [These products] are for anybody who has skin, which is everyone.
She also talked about being a part of the Latin music craze.
‘I was part of that [first wave], and that was Latin artists coming over and singing in English, but now this is such a different thing.
‘This is Spanish music becoming American music, becoming global music,’ Lopez said.
She released two songs with the 27-year-old Colombian singer Maluma, Pa’ Ti and Lonely in 2020.

She also touched on moving her wedding date.
‘We postponed the wedding twice. We had planned what we really, really wanted to do, [but] I don’t know if we’ll be able to re-create that,’ she told the magazine.
‘We canceled it, and since then we haven’t really talked about it. There’s no rush. We want to do it right when we can do it.’

‘He wanted me to make sure I realized that I had power and that I should use it, and I thought that was very insightful. It was one of those parenting moments when you’re like, Oh, maybe I’m raising a conscientious, kind, loving kid here,’ she said.
‘I’m not used to being in big crowds like that, but it felt very empowering, and it was great to see so many young people out there, really young people.
‘I don’t think it should ever be looked at as anything except trying to make things better, trying to make sure that people don’t get hurt, that people are treated fairly.’
