Martha Stewart’s Skin-Care Routine, According to Her Dermatologists
She practices—and preaches—diligent sunscreen use on top of everything, making sure she always applies SPF protection on her face, chest, back of her hands, and anywhere else her skin might be exposed to the sun. “She’s done a great job of educating the world on the importance of protecting yourself,” he adds. “It’s great for all of us to see.”
She also loves her facials. She opts for Laser Genesis to help tone the skin and his bespoke Aesthetica Facial before big events. But none of this would matter if she weren’t consistent in her upkeep. Dr. Bhanusali praises her discipline in following through with her skin and health routines as the main reason her skin looks the way it does. “She does embody living well and healthy,” he says. “You can see and feel it around her.”
Her Aesthetic Treatments
Unlike many celebrities who deny getting any work done on their face, Stewart has been very open. Maintenance is the main goal with her, as Dr. Belkin says her skin is still in very great shape. “She doesn’t have a lot of lines at all,” he says. “She really does have very nice, relatively elastic and firm skin.”
He uses neuromodulators on her neck and jaw to get that lift and tightening effect and will opt for biostimulatory fillers over hyaluronic-acid ones to give her cheeks and jaw needed volume. Biostimulatory fillers, he says, stimulate the fibroblasts to stimulate more collagen and are better suited if you’re looking to add just a little volume all over. “It’s still dependent, but for the most part, as people get into their 50s and 60s and 70s, I usually will lean more on the biostimulatory fillers,” he says.
He only does a small bit of Botox around her eyes, steering clear of her brows; after a failed attempt that resulted in giving her too high of an arch, they have yet to recover from that incident. (“We joke about how I did that to her and she hated it,” he says.) Then he’ll go in with a hyaluronic-acid filler to plump her lips.
When it comes to these cosmetic procedures, she likes to take more of a hands-off approach. Dr. Belkin says she lets him take the reins on what he sees fit regarding these treatments. “Martha’s really good at recognizing other’s [area of] expertise,” he says. “She knows what her expertise is, obviously, and it’s in a wide range of subjects. But she’s also good at recognizing when somebody else is at the top of [theirs]. Hopefully, I’ve convinced her that I’m there, so she trusts me to direct her how I feel would be best.”
