It is 2023, we’re in an on-again, off-again relationship with a world pandemic, AI is threatening to take over the world/our jobs, Joe Jonas is getting wrinkles on his brow and we’re all residing in a simulation. Not less than, it sort of feels that manner once I sit down and chat with Joe this morning about all issues anti-aging (can we nonetheless say that phrase? Joe thinks so. Perhaps.), together with how just a few drinks and a dance with a beard trimmer obtained him half an eyebrow, and, most significantly , what function of his face would he by no means need to surgically alter/alter/take away in 50 years (once more, when AI turns into our overlord).
Firstly for all followers – or haters! Welcome! – studying this: Joe Jonas is legitimately good, regular, and chill (and I am saying this from a profession the place I’ve labored with lots of the celebs who watch your “wtf” tales on TikTok). We love Joe. Joe is sweet folks.
That is in all probability why it actually did not really feel BS when he/the Jonas Brothers explains the day after he/the Jonas Brothers acquired their Hollywood Stroll of Fame star his option to staff up with Xeomin, an injectable neurotoxin that smooths out traces and wrinkles (assume: Botox, however cleaner and purer).
“I have been spruced up throughout, actually making an attempt to learn labels, do analysis, and get a good suggestion of what I am placing in and on my physique,” Joe tells me. “I actually appreciated that Xeomin was a wise toxin, and I particularly appreciated the outcomes.”
He first obtained his frown traces final yr, and since then “a variety of conversations have been particularly about how guys do not speak about [injectables] and making an attempt to interrupt that stigma that it is “bizarre” or embarrassing, particularly once I know that a lot of my male associates have executed it,” he says.
And no, you are not alone in seeing Joe’s slick, guitar-holding face on Xeomin pop-up advertisements in current months. “Lots of people wrote to me saying, ‘Is that you just? Truly? Cool,” he says. “I obtained a variety of textual content messages [from friends], like ‘ought to I get this? Is it good?’ and I’ve had associates since then who’ve had the remedy, so it is cool to see the dialog altering round it.
Joe’s first wash
However in case you did not assume Joe was at all times on the forefront of magnificence developments and skincare selections, do not forget that Joe is a human being – simply, you recognize, a well-known one, whose magnificence mishaps are seen on a world stage. “I’ve had just a few Dwelling alone moments if you simply slap your face with aftershave,he says. And, (un)fortunately for him, each concerned his eyebrows.
“The primary time I ever obtained my eyebrows waxed, I went with my mother to this place in New Jersey the day earlier than faculty that I do not assume she was used to guys’ eyebrows,” he says. “And so they simply went from on my eyebrows. I bear in mind the primary day of faculty once I wore such a low cap” – he pulls an imaginary cap to his eyes – “as a result of I used to be so embarrassed.”
“It was So crimson and my mother was like, ‘Why do not I simply cowl it with make-up so it blends in?'” he says. “After which I used to be like, ‘No! I do not put on make-up to high school on the primary day! So I made a decision to go for a beanie in September, which was nonetheless a lot too heat.”
Joe and the Half Eyebrow
One other main magnificence reminiscence for Joe? “I bear in mind having a drink or two the evening earlier than [an event] and appreciated the thought of trimming my eyebrows with my beard trimmer,” he says. “I assumed it was going to be okay, after which I awakened and I used to be like, ‘Oooh, no. Effectively, it is type of cool, I assume.’ I assumed Marissa Machado – who has been our groomer for over 10 or 15 years – would not discover, however she checked out me and solely half of my eyebrow is lacking. She noticed me and mentioned, ‘What occurred? Who did this?!’” he laughs. “I’ve had a variety of these moments.”
Joe’s favourite issues
With Joe’s brows wanting unscathed and trauma-free throughout our interview, I ask him what’s on his hair/pores and skin/face/physique proper now, except for the merchandise he talks about typically (see: Coloration Wow Styling Cream, Kiehl’s Facial Gas Depuffer, and Tom Ford for Males shaving cream). A current favorite? His new deodorant.
“I lately obtained “more healthy” deodorant,” he says. “I wasn’t hip to a few of the substances in your deodorant that I undoubtedly do not need to placed on or in my physique.” I ask for the precise product identify, and he darts off to verify, “Give me two minutes.” He comes again to notice that he forgot he already packed his bag and would ship the identify later (cliffhanger, folks).
“Oh, and one factor is kinda good about that my spouse [Sophie Turner] put me on is these little blackhead masksthe place you possibly can put it in your face and see your pores,” he says. “I’ll say, it was eye-opening that you just had issues in your face you did not know have been there, and you are feeling you possibly can breathe higher or one thing after that it is a variety of face masks and watching Solely on the Historical past Channel, which is a incredible survival present. It is actually good TV,” he tells me.
Joe and getting older
As we speak, I discover myself curious: For a kid star turned grownup star who likes to help beauty therapies with a “you do your” perspective, how does Joe really feeling about getting older? Maybe unsurprisingly, he says, “I really like getting older. I really like the concept I get slightly wiser with every passing yr, and be taught from the errors I make and have made. Particularly as a guardian now, the thrill of watching folks develop up round mewatching my associates develop up, watching myself develop up.
That mentioned, he is additionally glad to strive therapies and merchandise that assist him feel and look nice too. “Each morning I’ve slightly shake that I am obsessive about,” he says. “It is referred to as Athletic Greens, and my buddy put me on it. This is not even an organization I work with – I simply love their stuff and what it is wish to deal with your physique with all of the nutritional vitamins and minerals you do not take into consideration.
I inform him my boyfriend is additionally obsessive about Athletic Greens, and that our kitchen is at all times plagued by AG smoothie cups. He laughs and confesses that he additionally introduced his cup at this time.
“I similar to issues that make you’re feeling good and wholesome and hopefully reside longer,” he says. “That is the objective. I do not need to reside without end, however I like the thought of residing one other 10 or 20 years if I can add that to my life. And if I can take a superb look alongside the way in which? Nice.”
I ask him if – 50 years from now, when know-how will allow everybody to have a brand new face – there is part of him that he would by no means need to change; one thing that feels uniquely Joe Jonas. “I believe it goes again to the horror story of my eyebrows,” he says. “We’ll cross that bridge after we get there, however in all probability my eyebrows. Or my nostril. I do not thoughts for those who change yours, however I am good at retaining mine.
I inform him his followers will in all probability love to listen to this and remind him to ship me the identify of his deodorant. In any case, that is journalism and I’m nothing however knowledgeable.
