"Looks weren't a big deal in my family," she told People. "I don't think my parents ever said 'you're pretty' and so we just didn't think about it."

However, Jennifer revealed she started to notice sun damage as she got older. "We would put on baby oil and lay in the sun to try to get brown," she confessed. "When I was a young girl, my sisters spent most of the time on a boat. We would just burn and then peel it off and then burn again and peel it off."

To help combat this damage, the star said the first thing she does in the morning is put on sunscreen. "Keep sunscreen everywhere, and always apply more than you think you need," she confided. "You just have to be a nerd about it, and get it done!"
