Whatever Susan Lucci is taking, I'm buying. The Emmy-award winning actress looks absolutely sensational at 79, and never more so than during a recent appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.
The All My Children actress shone in a silver mini dress and all everyone wanted to know is, how does she do it? How does she keep getting better and better with age, with her radiant, smooth skin?
I opened my own investigation into Susan's beauty faves and discovered there's one thing she always - always - does. And that's remove her makeup before bedtime.
- Susan Lucci's new memoir, La Lucci, is out now.
- The 79-year-old actress had fans asking how she looks so radiant.
- We tracked down her two skincare saviours; Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes and Clé de Peau Beauté Cleansing Foam.
“No matter how tired I am, I never go to bed with makeup on,” Lucci told Harpers Bazaar.
© GettyI love that Susan is a beauty girl at heart, and according to reports, there's two products she uses to double-cleanse; firstly, a drugstore buy in the shape of Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, coming in under $6 on Amazon.
“I use Neutrogena makeup off wipes to take the first layer of makeup off,” was quoted as saying.
In sharp contrast, the author - who's new memoir La Lucci is out now - follows up the first cleanse with a more luxurious product, which she loves because "it's so gentle".
The Clé de Peau Beauté Cleansing Foam is Susan's second cleanse product, an antioxidant-rich foaming face wash from the prestigious Japanese beauty brand.
Susan's makeup remover - the details:
- Texture: A velvety cream that turns into a lather when wet.
- Target: To remove excess oil and surface impurities that cause dullness and clogged pores.
- Formula: Antioxidant-rich formula with Raspberry extract.
- Claims: Designed to help skin resist the effects of environmental aggressors that can lead to visible signs of aging., moisturize and add radiance to the skin.
Pro Tip: Use morning and night, and lather up in the palm of your hand to then apply to skin.
