Nick Jonas's Everyday-ish Routine: Ice Baths, Eye Gels, and Making Hotel Rooms Feel Like Home
Vogue
In this Vogue Beauty Secrets episode, Nick Jonas walks through what he calls an "everyday-ish" skincare and wellness routine. It runs to roughly a dozen steps, from a morning green juice to a final swipe of pomade. Along the way, Jonas explains why each product earned its place, offers a few memories, and makes a broader case: that small daily rituals matter. In recent years he has come to frame that case around longevity and fatherhood rather than appearance alone.
Starting With Juice and a Candle
The routine opens with a green juice of celery and a hint of lemon. Jonas describes it as good for the digestive system, gut health, and detoxing.
The second step is about atmosphere. Jonas lights a Diptyque Baies candle, which they keep in both their dressing room and hotel rooms. They admit it's "a little bougie" but say it smells too good to give up. Jonas says they have always loved scents of all kinds, including candles, incense, perfume, and cologne. That interest grew after they collaborated with their friend John Varvatos on a cologne, an experience Jonas describes as a great chance to learn how fragrance works.
The interest carried over into home life. When Jonas and Priyanka moved into their new home, they turned choosing a house scent into a date night and brought in someone to help them select one. Eventually, Jonas says, they went back to Diptyque "cuz it's just that good."
The candle also serves a practical purpose for someone who travels as much as Jonas does. Jonas talks about finding small ways to make wherever they are feel more like home. They carry photos in their bag and set them up in each room, and a familiar scent does the same job.
The FaceTub: A Cold Plunge for the Face
Jonas calls the next step "the most exciting part of my day," then quickly adds, "Well, not always, but sometimes." It's the FaceTub, which their brother Joe introduced on tour. As Jonas tells it, Joe showed up one day and said, "Check this out."
The method is simple. You fill the tub with ice and water and dunk your face for as long as you can. Jonas says it helps with facial inflammation and puffiness. He also passes along a claim, flagged as something he has heard, that it awakens the vagus nerve and signals the brain that it's time to start the day. The tub comes with a small snorkel-like attachment, which Jonas calls "a little scuba situation," so you can breathe while submerged. Jonas does two dunks on camera and then asks whether there's a visible difference: "I think we can."
Shaving and Personal Preference
Next comes a neck cleanup with a Schick Hydro razor. Jonas likes the neckline to look "nice and fresh." They shave with a downstroke, which they find gentlest on their skin.
Jonas uses the shave to make a general point. Every man, in Jonas's view, should have his own skincare journey and find what suits him. Some people shave with the grain, while Jonas goes downward because it works best for them. Shaving is one piece of that larger puzzle, and preferences will vary.
A Cleanser Discovered on Set
The cleanser came out of Jonas's recent work. Jonas was in Vancouver shooting White Elephant, a film they have been developing for a couple of years. While there, they walked into a skincare shop to see what it carried and were pitched several products. One was the Sisley men's purifying cleansing gel.
Jonas connects cleansing to the end of a shooting day. After a scene, with makeup or fake blood still on your face, you go to the makeup trailer. The team applies cleanser and hands you a hot towel. Jonas calls that "kind of the most satisfying part of it."
From Indifferent Teenager to Daily Ritual
Jonas admits they didn't care much about skincare as a teenager: "Shocker. 14-year-old boy that wasn't excited about skin care." Their interest grew with age. Jonas now values rituals that help them approach the day with a positive feeling. In their view, skincare and general wellness deserve priority from everyone, even for only five to ten minutes a day. They compare it to other non-negotiable daily habits like brushing your teeth: "you got to do this, too."
Eye Gels and Eye Drops for Long Days
Next, Jonas applies Jaxon Lane Bro Mask eye gels. They describe the gels as very hydrating and good for anti-aging and brightness, and they try to use them most days. The routine shifts with Jonas's schedule. Touring means late nights, while filming means long days and early mornings. In both cases puffiness can show up, and Jonas says the gels help.
Lumify eye drops follow. Jonas says they whiten the eyes and make you "feel and look fresh as a daisy," then laughs that the phrase is "the theme of the whole thing." The drops help with redness after short nights and with the spring allergies and irritation Jonas gets. After removing the eye gels, Jonas works the leftover serum into the skin.
Brothers, Fatherhood, and Longevity
Asked about the worst skincare advice their brothers have given, Jonas turns the question around: they've actually given good advice. According to Jonas, Joe has always taken good care of his skin, and Kevin now has a solid routine of vitamins and supplements.
This leads to the most reflective moment of the video. All three brothers are now fathers. Jonas says that as they've gotten older, skincare matters, but the bigger concern is longevity. They want to do what's best for their body and health so they can "spend as much time in this life with the people you love."
Serum, Glow Cream, and Sunscreen
Two Dr. Barbara Sturm products come next. The first is a clarifying serum that Jonas says they love and always work in thoroughly. The second is the glow cream, which Jonas thinks has anti-aging qualities, something they say they need to start thinking about at 33. They report that it gives their skin a nice glow.
Sunscreen is Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen. Jonas likes it because, as the name promises, you can't really see it but it still provides sun protection. The habit goes back to childhood. Jonas recalls that their mom always stressed the importance of sunscreen on family beach trips at the Jersey Shore ("not the show. Well, the show too, but the actual shore"). Later, Jonas made a point of avoiding sunburn on the golf course and would "definitely stress about the sunscreen." When the couple went away for Priyanka's 40th birthday, Jonas gave every guest Supergoop products, and they joked that everyone was "very well protected from the hot summer sun."
On Priyanka and the "Thirst Traps"
In response to an off-camera question about Priyanka's social media posts of them, Jonas says they aren't aware of the "thirst traps" as they happen because they are just living in the moment. They call her "very sweet," note that they post plenty praising her beauty and brilliance, and add, "She's the best. I miss her very much."
Finishing Touches: Lip Balm, Fragrance, Pomade
The last products move quickly. There's an Augustinus Bader lip balm, which Jonas says they "just got hip to." Then comes Louis Vuitton L'Immensité, their favorite fragrance and one they've used for a while. Jonas apologizes in case they mispronounced it and offers a "fun fact": they over-apply it.
Hair is styled with STMNT Grooming Goods fiber pomade. Jonas praises its shine and smell, applies it to wet hair after a shower, and lets it set, after which their hair is "usually pretty much good to go."
The final step brings the routine back to the start: Jonas blows out the candle and heads off to a busy day.
Hey Vogue, it's Nick Jonas and I'm going to walk you through my everyday-ish skincare and wellness routine. First step is going to be this right here, this beautiful green juice, celery, hint of lemon. It's great for digestive system, gut health, and detoxing.
All right, next up, just to really set the vibes, we're going to go with a nice candle. This one's a Diptyque. This is Baies. I have this in my dressing room and in my hotel rooms. It's a little bougie. I know, I'm sorry, but it smells so good. Can't help it.
I've always loved scents, both candles, incense, and perfume, and cologne. I actually got the chance to collab with a friend of mine, John Varvatos, on a cologne, and I had the best experience learning all about that. So much so, in fact, that Priyanka and I, when we moved into our new home, we did this really great kind of date night thing where we had someone come in and help us select a scent for our home. And then, after a while, we just went back to Diptyque because it's just that good.
There it is. It's nice to find ways when you're traveling as much as we do to make wherever you are feel a bit more like home. And so, little things. I've got some photos that I take with me in my bag that I set up in my room that are a little piece of home. And also, just a nice scent that reminds you of that.
Okay, next up, this is the most exciting part of my day. Well, not always, but sometimes. This is the FaceTub. Joe introduced me to this, my brother Joe. We were on tour and one day he showed up and said, "Check this out." He brought this out. And basically, you fill it with ice and water. You dunk your face in for as long as you can.
And if you're wondering, "What does this do?" Well, it helps with inflammation in your face and puffiness. It also, apparently, this is what I've heard, it awakens the vagus nerve, which alerts your brain that it's time to get your day going and makes you feel fresh as a daisy. So, the key is obviously the ice. Let's dump this in.
Okay, and then water is next. Oh, yeah. And now we're going to dunk our face.
Okay. Yeah. Feels great. It also comes with a little scuba situation there so that you can breathe while you dunk your face. I'm going to go one more time.
Feels good. Can we tell a difference? I think we can.
All right, next step we're going to do a little cleanup. We'll shave here on the neck. I like this to look nice and fresh. And so we're going to use a little Schick razor here and clean this thing up. There it is. Boom, the Hydro.
There we go. So I'm basically just cleaning up my neck. I'm going with a downstroke here. Tends to be the nicest on my skin. I think it's an important part for every man to have their own sort of journey with skincare and whatever's right for them. And shaving obviously is a piece of that puzzle. It's all about your personal preferences. Some people go with the grain. I kind of go down. It's what works best for me here. Beautiful. Look at that.
I was just recently up in Vancouver shooting a movie called White Elephant, which I've been developing for a couple years. When I was there I was like, you know what? I'm just going to walk into the skincare place and just see what they have. And I was pitched a bunch of great products, one of them being this right here. This is the Sisley for men purifying cleansing gel. Boom. There we go. Okay. Here we go.
Oh, yeah. On set, basically once you finish shooting and you've got makeup or blood on your face from the scene, whatever it is. Fake blood, of course. You go to the makeup trailer, right? And they put the cleanser on and they give you a nice hot towel. It's kind of the most satisfying part of it. Oh. So nice.
I didn't really care all that much about skincare in my teens. Shocker. A 14-year-old boy that wasn't excited about skincare. But then, as I got older, started to care about it a little bit more and more. I think it's great to have rituals, little things that help you approach your day and your life with that positive feeling. And skincare and I think just general wellness is something everyone should prioritize just for whatever it is, five to ten minutes a day. I think in the same way that you brush your teeth every day, tie your socks, and do the thing, you got to do this, too.
Okay, next up, we have Bro Mask eye gels. These things are amazing. They're very hydrating. It's good for anti-aging and brightness. So, I try to put these things on most days. My routine changes depending on what I'm doing. If I'm on tour, it's later nights. But then on set, it's long days, and then you're up bright and early. The puffiness can definitely be there. So, those really help.
Lumify. These bad boys are great. Eye drops. They're going to whiten your eyes, make you feel and look fresh as a daisy. It's the theme of the whole thing. And also, when you haven't got much sleep, you can get that redness. I get allergies and irritation during spring and stuff, so this really helps.
Nice. All right. Eye gels are off. Just going to work in the serum that's on there. Great.
The worst advice my brothers gave me about skincare and taking care of myself is... They've actually given great advice. Joe does a great job of taking care of his skin, always has. And then Kevin, he's got a really good routine now with his vitamins and his supplements. We all have kids. We're all fathers, so I think as we've gotten older, that importance about skincare and all that is one thing, but it's really about longevity and making sure that you're doing what's best for your body, your health, to spend as much time in this life with the people you love.
Next up, we have Barbara Sturm. This is a clarifying serum. I love it. Just work it in there. I always work it up. Very nice.
Okay, this is the next thing. This is Barbara Sturm Glow Cream. It's, I think, got anti-aging qualities, which at 33 I need to start thinking about. Oh, it feels great. It does give me a nice glow to the skin.
All right, so this is Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen. I love their stuff. Because with this one, as advertised, it's unseen. You can't really see it, but it gives you that sun protection you need. My mom always emphasized the importance of wearing sunscreen. So as kids we'd go to the beach out in Jersey, shout-out Jersey Shore, not the show. Well, the show too, but the actual shore.
As I got older, I'd like to make sure I was not getting sunburn while I was out playing golf. And so I would definitely stress about the sunscreen. We went away for Priyanka's 40th birthday. And I got a bunch of Supergoop! stuff for all the guests that came. And we were all very well protected from the hot summer sun.
I'm not aware of the thirst traps as they're happening. I'm just living in the moment. But she's very sweet. And I post plenty of things of her praising her and her beauty and brilliance. She's the best. I miss her very much.
I just got hip to this. This is Augustinus Bader lip balm. It's really nice.
This is Louis Vuitton L'Immensité. It's my favorite fragrance. I've been using it for a while. If I mispronounce that, I'm sorry. But I overapply. It's a little fun fact about me.
This is STMNT men's grooming product. This is really good. It is a fiber pomade. And it's nice and shiny. Look at that. And it smells amazing. Smells so good. So I put this in when my hair is wet after a shower, let it set in. And then it's usually pretty much good to go. Tighten sides there. Boom. We're good.
All right, final step. We're going to blow this candle out and I got a busy day ahead. So I got to get to it. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it. See you.
