Martha Stewart may be 82 years old but that doesn’t mean she wants to look like she’s 82.
In a recent episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast, Martha and her dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin chatted about the pair’s game plan for ageing gracefully – with the help of a few “tweakments” here and there.
“I don’t think a lot about age, but I don’t want to look my age at all. And that’s why I really work hard at it,” Martha explained in the podcast.
“I think you’re a real testament to the idea that taking care of your body, taking care of your skin, doing sort of minimally invasive treatments conservatively and regularly can keep you looking beautiful at any age,” Dr. Dan admitted in the conversation.
“I think going to a really good dermatologist can help you feel better,” she suggested.
“I remember when my mom, at 85 years old, went to a plastic surgeon, and she said, ‘I just, I want a facelift because I just want to look good.’ And he said, ‘Well, you’re going to look good. You’re not going to look younger, but you’re going to look good.’ And she said, ‘That’s enough for me. I just want to look good,'” Martha shared.
Unlike her mother, Martha has been firm about the fact that she’s never had plastic surgery, especially after her controversial Sport’s Illustrated cover had people questioning just that. But she’s not ashamed to admit that she’s frequently used cosmetic enhancement procedures such as Botox, fillers and ultrasonic face treatments to keep herself looking young – plus a few handy makeup hacks.
The pair shared with listeners that if experience has taught them anything, it’s that brow Botox is not for Martha.
“Oh, I don’t like that at all. My eyebrows kind of go up in a V and that looks so unnatural because I don’t have lines in my forehead,” Martha confessed.
“I’ve tried to give you a little lift. It hasn’t really worked that well on the upper face, but I think neuromodulators like Botox have worked really well for you on the lower face,” replied Dr. Dan.
The dermatologist also revealed that he’s administered conservative amounts of biostimulatory fillers to keep Martha’s skin looking youthful and plump by encouraging the skin’s natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
“We don’t do it that often, and for you, I like to use fillers that are what we call biostimulatory fillers,” he explained. “So I would say this is another trend moving a little bit away from hyaluronic acid fillers, like regular fillers.”
“We’ve done a little ultrasound tightening I think, a long time ago,” he continued. “We did a little softwave [too], which is an ultrasound-based tightening device.”
What do you think of Martha Stewart’s beauty routine?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting you’ve gotten fillers or plastic surgery. I wish celebrities would stop lying or pretending it’s “all natural”.
Exactly!
Totally agree
Yes who really cares .Do what you want to yourself.
Yep, she can do whatever she wants with her skin. She looks great.
Nice to be able to afford it hey?
Yes I agree I would love to be able to afford the choice
I agree, too!
and think we don’t notice lol
She is looking good for her age absolutely
So Botox, not for me. I won’t say never
I think 100% she’s had plastic surgery procedures. This is like Kelly Osbourne denying all her procedures- ridiculous.
Well at least she’s honest about it, I do like when people are honest.
‘I don’t think about my age’ , sorry but I don’t buy that Martha.
I agree
She looks great so good on her
I’m okay with ageing naturally, with character lines showing
I’m okay with ageing naturally as well, but it nice to look younger than your years?
Each to their own. She’s rich and she can whatever she wants with her money for whatever reason. She doesn’t need to care what other people think.
It must be nice to have money and the opportunity to decide if you want to spend it on yourself.
I am like her I don’t think about my age much but would like to look my best
“I don’t think a lot about age, but I don’t want to look my age at all.” That sentence doesn’t make sense to me.
It’s very contradictory is’nt it?
I would never guess she is 82.
I think she looks great, so good for her
I don’t want to look younger, but I do want to look my best, if that makes sense.
I think most cebrities have had proceedures and why not if it is affordable and helps their career.
I wouldn’t do all that, but hey, there’s no reason she shouldn’t if she wants to.
I think that she looks great for 82 and if you have a dermatologist that can help you keep feeling and looking good, go for it.
She looks great for her age. She exercises a lot, so that helps.
My cuz is a derm and his Mum is in her late 70s and she looks like she’s in her early 50s. We have good skin in our family and she exercises a lot!
Love the little kittens.
I knew she had to be having some sort of procedures because she looks so fabulous.
I think that a person choosing to look after themselves with medical/surgical aids is great when they are doing it because they want to. When celebs keep doing it due to public or career pressure, things can start to not look so good after too many procedures. It also depends on the skill of the dr. MS looks really good though.
BH you keep moderating my comments. None of them are offensive. It makes me question why I bother commenting!
Money can really help in keeping you young looking
Absolutely!
She looks great.
It is best to tell the truth and not pretend to have had nothing done. Lying about it creates unrealistic and unfair expectations about beauty and ageing.
Totally agree! She looks fantastic for her age
She looks fantastic for 82
No shame whatsover, but just don’t lie
I’m happy au naturale
She looks good on her age.
