"Queen of Homemaking" Martha Stewart Featured in Fashion Magazine Interview
"Procedures and Daily Care Have Shaped My Current Face"

This year, the youthful appearance of American billionaire entrepreneur Martha Stewart, who is 84 years old, is drawing attention. Stewart appeared on a local media outlet and personally revealed her skincare secrets.

On January 23 (local time), US media outlets such as Fox News reported that Stewart appeared in Vogue’s “Get Ready With Me” video. Stewart is the first self-made female billionaire in the United States, having started her career as a stockbroker on Wall Street and now working as a TV show host. Since 1990, she has also been running the lifestyle magazine and TV program “Martha Stewart Living.”

During her interview with Vogue, Stewart showed her face and skin with almost no makeup. When asked about the secret to her youthful looks, she emphasized, “I have not had plastic surgery,” adding, “Consistent lifestyle management, procedures such as Botox or fillers, and regular self-care are what have shaped my current face.”

Stewart said that every morning after washing her face, she relaxes her skin by placing a towel soaked in warm water on her face for one minute. She then cools her face with a cold towel for another 20 seconds. Regarding the effectiveness of this “towel routine,” she explained, “It gradually wakes up the sluggish facial blood flow from sleep and relaxes the tension on the skin’s surface,” stressing, “The principle is to press, not rub, the towel on the face.”

She added, “Diet is also an essential factor. I eat a light breakfast, and my diet is primarily based on vegetables and fruits,” noting, “It’s also important to consciously include protein intake.”

When it comes to makeup, she mainly chooses products that bring vitality to the skin, and it is said that she focuses on achieving a glowing complexion. Stewart also highlighted the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and avoiding excessive nighttime activities to keep a healthy daily rhythm.

She said, “I admire ‘super agers’ who continue to work even at an advanced age,” adding, “I want to live like that too.”

Meanwhile, Stewart was investigated in 2004 while working as a stockbroker due to suspicions of insider trading. At the time, she was cleared of insider trading charges but was found guilty of obstruction of justice and perjury, resulting in five months in prison. Afterward, Stewart left Wall Street and began a new career as a TV program host. She especially became known for content related to home life, such as cooking and cleaning, earning her the nickname “Queen of Homemaking.”
