Jennifer Affleck is booked and busy. From filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3 while pregnant to giving birth to her third child to basically hopping straight from the delivery room to the studio to train for Dancing with the Stars season 34, what can’t the star do? StyleCaster chatted with Affleck to see how she’s been adjusting postpartum, how she’s gearing up for DWTS, and which beauty products help her feel her best.
When the reality TV star isn’t spending quality time with her family, standing on business on the small screen, or sipping a dirty soda, you can find her practicing self-care. “Something that I do every day to feel good is also my self-care routine, and that looks like through normal things like taking a shower, doing your hair and makeup. But one thing I’ve incorporated throughout the years and throughout motherhood is Bio-Oil
,” she shares with StyleCaster.
The multi-hyphenate partnered with Bio-Oil to promote the brand’s third annual “Labor of Love” campaign, which spotlights the unsung heroes of childbirth: Labor and Delivery staff. September is America’s busiest birth month, making it the perfect time to celebrate the ones who offer invaluable support and care to moms during one of life’s most beautiful moments. As a mother of three (shoutout to the Affleck family’s newest addition, Penny!), teaming up with Bio-Oil on this particular initiative was a no-brainer.

Bio-Oil products are at the center of Affeck’s self-care routine because having healthy skin is key to feeling and looking confident. “I think hydration is super important or like looking hydrated and moisturized. I think that’s super important. I really stand by when you feel good, you do good, and when I do my self-care routine, I feel good,” she adds.
If you’re new to the magic of Bio-Oil’s Skincare Oil
, Affleck found the product to be most helpful throughout her pregnancy when applied to her belly after showering every single day. She also lathered it all over her face at night and before doing her makeup in the morning while she had Penny on the way. “Now that I’m post-partum, just everywhere because your girl’s dry everywhere.” Pro tip: Don’t forget your feet! “My feet get so dry during pregnancy and postpartum. I feel like people forget about their feet a lot, but not me. I apply it there every single day and then put it on my socks,” she says.
While Affleck is prone to eczema and dry skin (which can intensify during and after having babies), she knows she can always count on Bio-Oil to tackle both. She also notes that it’s helped improve the appearance of her stretch marks. I don’t know about you, but I’m completely sold. Who doesn’t love a do-it-all, multipurpose product (especially in this economy)?
What other essentials earned a spot in the star’s self-care regimen? When asked for her top three desert island products, Affleck, of course, mentioned Bio-Oil
, with a Dyson hair tool and trio of blushes trailing right behind. The last two items come as absolutely no surprise, since the MomTok member has become known for her signature full, bouncy, voluminous hair and vibrant, glowy, sun-kissed cheeks. Even over Zoom, she looked stunning, and I knew I couldn’t leave the interview without getting the exact names of her tried-and-true hair and blush products, as I know I’m one of many who will have whatever Jen’s having.

“I specifically like to first wash my hair. Then I’ll dry it, do the Dyson Airwrap
, and with each curl, I’ll put in a bobby pin or clip, and then I’ll leave my hair with the clips for about 15 minutes, and I find that when I do that, your hair can stay the whole day,” Affleck explains. BRB while I practice this exact routine until my locks achieve Affleck-level bounce, volume, and staying power.
As for her rosy cheeks, it’s time for the grand reveal: “I use like three different blushes every time I do my makeup. So I love blush, like I live by blush. I’ll use the Charlotte Tilbury bronze blush. That’s the blush highlighter. And then I’ll use Rare Beauty liquid blush in the color Joy. And then, Patrick Ta. I love all their colors.” We love a blush layering moment!

More Questions with Jennifer Affleck
How are you feeling after giving birth, and how is LA?
“I’ve been feeling all the things. I mean, it’s obviously a lot with three babies. Three under three is kind of crazy, but at the same time, I feel so blessed, and just knowing that I have my little family now. And all I’ve ever wanted to be is a mom, and so it’s also a very fulfilling, exciting chapter.
LA is great, the weather’s amazing, and yeah, being here is just very exciting. There’s been a lot of cool opportunities recently.”
What have been the most enjoyable and challenging parts of getting back into the spotlight after giving birth?
“Most enjoyable would be having a distraction to distract me from what I could be experiencing, which is postpartum depression. I definitely did have some baby blues the following weeks after having Penny, but luckily, no symptoms of long-term postpartum depression, which I have experienced before, and I think it’s through all the distractions, so definitely love that.
Most challenging would probably be trying to find balance in my life with taking care of three babies and doing my job. I’m trying to find a good in between, and so yeah, for sure that’s the hardest part and will always be the hardest part with being a working mom and a stay-at-home mom.”
When do you feel most confident, and how do you get there?
“I feel the most confident when I’m doing what I love. I think when I’m out of my element or when I am not doing something that I really enjoy, I feel the least confident. But when I’m doing something I love, I feel the most confident. For me, that’s dancing.”
What’s your biggest beauty hot take?
“Not to put down anyone who does filler or all that stuff, but for me, I love the expressions. I feel like the more expressions you have in your face, actually, the more beautiful you look.”
What clothes have you been living in after having the baby?
“For sure, sets. Skims. CSB, they have workout clothes and sets. I’ve for sure been living in those. Amazon sets, like honestly, any set, they’re just so easy, so comfortable. It’s like you’re living in PJs, but you look cute.”
