Jennifer Lopezhas been keeping it real since she released herhit song of the same namein 2001 — even when it comes to her beauty and anti-aging secrets.
Aftermaking headlines for clapping backat an Instagram user who accused her of getting “tons” of Botox, the multi-hyphenate star, 51, tells PEOPLE why she set the record straight and couldn’t let the “lying” comment go without a response.
“I don’t judge anybody. If you want to do Botox and injectables, that’s fine! But I don’t want people lying on me and saying, ‘Oh, she’s trying to make believe that this stuff works,'” Lopez — who launched her eponymousskincare line JLo Beauty this month— tells PEOPLE. “No, I’m telling you what I do that works! Please don’t call me a liar. I don’t have to lie about things. I’ve been pretty honest about my whole life.”
“If I had, I would say, ‘Yeah, you’re right,’ but I don’t want people going, ‘Stop lying, you’re doing this, you’re doing that,’ when that’s just not true,” Lopez adds. “I just felt it had to be set straight, but in a loving way. And one of my big beauty secrets is that I try to be kind to others and lift up other women. I think that that is important for us to do for each other instead of trying to tear people down.”

Earlier this month, Lopez posted a video that showed her trying one of the products from herrecently-launched skincare brandfor the first time.
Lopez was quick to shut the commenter down and graciously shared an alternative “beauty secret” that’s always worked for her.
“LOL that’s just my face!!!” Lopez wrote. “for the 500 millionth time…I have never done Botox or any injectables or surgery!! Just saying.”
Putting critics in their place is just a small side hustle for Lopez, who deserves the title of busiest woman on the planet. On top oflaunching her brand new beauty linein 2021, the actress-producer-performer alsocommanded the stage at one of the nation’s biggest events: President Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony.
And she’s not slowing down anytime soon. Lopez just partnered with theInternational WELL Building Institute, a company that developed a health safety rating to inspire consumer confidence as more people return to shared spaces amid thecoronavirus pandemic.
She stars in the new campaign to raise awareness about the institute’sWELL Health-Safety Rating, an evidence-based third-party designation to verify a building or space has taken the necessary steps to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and other stakeholders.
“It’s important to me that when I get back to work on stage and filming that I’m confident I’m doing it safely for everyone,” Lopez tells PEOPLE. “There’s a huge responsibility. It’s like, ‘OK we don’t want to take any chances with anybody’s life,’ so we need be as safe as we can.”
