The dangers of too much sun exposure are well documented and actress Jennifer Aniston took steps recently to keep her skin looking youthful by giving herself an intervention on tanning.

In an interview with People, Aniston who is the face of Aveeno, talks about giving up on tanning and instead packing on the sunscreen nowadays.

“I gave myself a sun-tanning intervention a few years ago, where I was basically saying, ‘Let’s just quit while we’re ahead,'” she said. “I was not great as a kid with sunscreen. That’s one of my big regrets. Now I use Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15.”

The Huffington Post noted that along with sunscreen, the 46-year-old said that her beauty regimen consists of drinking lots of water daily and getting plenty of sleep.

“I drink water endlessly. Like five [bottles] a day,” she said. “Now it’s just such habit. There are so many lazy water drinkers!”

Aniston is planning on releasing a cookbook soon, in which she will incorporate healthy-eating habits.
