She advised people who use hair dye, as she does, to “deep condition it every four to six weeks,” she said. first for women.
As for her diet, she explained, “I grew up on a farm eating fresh food with no hormones or preservatives and I still try to eat that way.”

Jaclyn, photographed in 2018 in Beverly Hills, has shared some of the secrets to her youthful appearance, including deep conditioning her hair and a ‘fresh foods’ diet.

She stressed the importance of finding a “moisturizer that doesn’t strip your makeup,” noting, “That way, you can take a sponge and apply a little moisturizer on top of your makeup and it will refresh it.”
Jaclyn added: ‘It gets into the lines and adds more color and vibrancy to the skin so it doesn’t look dry. I often reapply this method at midday if I have to go somewhere.’
When it comes to exercise, she swears by “circuit training,” which combines “weights, stretching, and core work—lots of planks!” They keep my core and lower back strong. I can add an arm or leg lift with the plank so it doesn’t get stuck.’
