Nick Jonas on His Brothers’ Grooming Tips and the Products He Shares With His Wife

The Disney Channel nostalgia is inescapable right now and seems to be popping up everywhere (we're certainly not complaining!). In the midst of it all is the Jonas Brothers, who were a fixture on tweens' CDs (yes, back before we had Spotify) and TVs in the late-2000s. Not only are they about to head out on tour, but they're also set to appear in the upcoming third "Camp Rock" which is expected to air this summer. As much as it feels like episodes of "Jonas LA" and songs like "Lovebug" haven't aged a day, the truth is, those are approaching 20 years old now — but let's not think about that too much. Of course, the Jonas Brothers themselves have grown up alongside us as well.

Over the years, we've seen everything from big curly hair to long sideburns on the Jonas Brothers, but those aren't going to be making a comeback anytime soon. Rather, the brothers have evolved their grooming, self-care, and wellness routines as they've gotten older. We chatted with Nick Jonas to talk about all of that and more, including grooming tips he's gotten from brother Joe, what health means to him now that he's a dad, and skin-care products he swears by—hint: one of them is the Schick Hydro Sensitive Men's Razor ($10).

Read on for our full conversation with the actor, singer and new face of Schick's Do Right By Your Skin campaign.

Popsugar: You've spoken about focusing on taking care of your skin more. Walk us through your morning skin-care routine.

Nick Jonas: I'm really excited, first of all, about this Do Right By Your Skin campaign. I think it's a great message for people to think more about not just removing hair, but actually doing something to improve their skin health and feel their most confident and ready to take on the day. Schick is an essential part of my skin-care routine each morning. I do a cleanup or shave. Knowing that I'm also taking good care of my skin is a wonderful thing.

Outside of that, recently, I've got a few little hacks I can share that I love. There's a thing called a face tub that Joe put me on to. You basically fill it up with some ice and water and dunk your face in it for as long as you can to just take down inflammation. It wakes your whole body up better than coffee.

Then I go about a cleanup or shave with the Schick Hydro, and I think the other key essentials are obviously a good skin-care routine. That goes for everybody.

I'm really thoughtful about what I'm putting on my face. If I'm in a car ride or have the time to do it, I slap on some anti-puffing eye gels, which always just feel good. And, of course, there's a hair routine, which is pretty simple: throw a little bit of product in and let it air dry.

PS: Over the years, how has your grooming routine evolved, especially comparing early Jonas Brothers days versus now?

NJ: As I've gotten older, everything's changed in little ways, and my focus has gotten better as far as prioritizing washing my face and moisturizing and all these aspects that when I was younger, maybe I took for granted.

Something else that I definitely prioritize more now than I used to is rest. I think rest is an essential part of recovery, both for skin care and just general good health. Fitness and training and things like that are also a big part of my weekly routine.

PS: The Jonas Brothers had some pretty iconic looks in the 2000s. You were rocking sideburns, curly hair, scarves, and ties. Are there any grooming or fashion looks from that era that you would bring back today?

NJ: We were really on the maximalist look back in the day with the scarves, ties, and hats.

I looked back at a few photos; there are a couple of vintage T-shirts that I used to have, which I've somehow misplaced. So some of those I would try to find and bring back. There's a Stevie Ray Vaughan one and a Prince one I saw that was pretty awesome, paired with some leopard print pants. It was one of my bolder looks.

And then suiting. We worked with a really great stylist, Michelle Tomaszewski, back in the day, who built many custom suits for us. And I think for anybody, a good suit is always a staple. At times, the trends change as far as the silhouettes go, but a suit will never go out of style. It's always going to be a thing. So suiting and vintage tees.

PS: As a dad, has your perspective on grooming and self-care changed?

NJ: Every aspect of my life has changed since becoming a father. Everything now is about 'what am I doing to make sure I'm focused on longevity and feeling my healthiest and making the little choices each day to improve my health and longevity?' So, things like diet, exercise, and meal preparation come into play. What's changed for me is that it's not just about getting a great workout in and maintaining or building muscle, but also about focusing on joint health, recovery, and cardiovascular health. Certainly, I have more curiosity around vitamin regimens — things like that — and what I'm putting in my body for fuel.

Generally, I think I've always been conscious of taking care of myself, my mind, my body. But when you see the wonder in your child's eyes and every moment in life becomes so precious, I think it's just about doing all you can, physically, emotionally, and mentally, to be present and make some good choices.

PS: Do you have any skin-care tips or products that you've stolen from your wife, Priyanka Chopra?

NJ: Yeah, there are definitely a ton of products that we steal from each other. But everything is shared, I'd say, not stealing necessarily. Gone are the days of men feeling like they have to be all macho and not talk about skin care. Or at least, we're trending in that direction, which is great because there are so many benefits to it. And getting to speak about it in this way and use my platform that way is exciting for me.

PS: If you could give your younger self advice, what would you say?

NJ: Be kind to your skin, which goes perfectly in line with the campaign, Do Right By Your Skin. But in other contexts, I've sometimes forgotten to apply sunscreen properly and taken that for granted. And now I know the long-term benefits of proper coverage of sunscreen. Or when the odd blemish comes up or something like that, don't succumb to the temptation and pick at it. Just let it be. Those types of things have a bigger impact long-term. So do right by your skin.

PS: Do your brothers ever give you grooming advice?

NJ: We all spend so much time together when we're on the road and we're constantly giving each other tips or hacks or things like that. Joe's pretty good about finding new products and things like the ice bath, but I gotta say, so am I. When I find a new product that I like, specifically hair product — we all have a lot of hair — I definitely let them in on my secrets.
