The legendary Joan Collins continues to reign supreme on the red carpet, effortlessly commanding attention with her signature bold lip, dazzling sequins and unmistakable glamour. A true embodiment of timeless elegance, Dame Joan proves that age is no barrier to style—and surprisingly, her beauty secrets remain refreshingly simple and accessible.
“I’ve had nothing done. I couldn’t do all that,” the 92-year-old Collins shared with The Guardian. “First of all, I’m needle-phobic. It was my mother who told me to moisturize and use night cream. I told my two girls and both of them have fabulous skin. And stay out of the sun.”
In previous interviews, Collins also credited not years, but decades, of consistency—specifically when it comes to her creams and SPF use.
“I’m very disciplined,” Collins told The Mirror a few years ago. “I don’t go to bed without taking off my makeup and putting on night cream. My mother had me and sister Jackie doing that when we were 14.”
One of her go-tos: Removing her makeup with a Nivea cleanser and applying Charlotte Tilbury night cream, as she revealed on BBC’s One Show last year. “Before all big events and post-flights, I get a bowl of ice and cotton pads, cool the pads and place them on my eyes, then lie down for five minutes,” she said of one of her no-cost tricks. “It reduces puffiness and refreshes the eyes.”
In addition, the Dallas star told You that skin-health is a regular habit: “I have always worn sun protection, and have kept my face away from harmful rays since I was 20. You should see me when I wake up in the morning: My face is so white, it’s like a sheet.”
The icon also has her own line, which she specifically formulated for sensitive skin, while keeping multitasking in mind.
“For Dame Joan, taking care of the skin starts young and never stops,” the site says. “Her belief is that anything applied to the skin should be good for it and that good cosmetics should also protect.”
