2 min readMartha Stewart—celebrity and entrepreneur known for sharing tips on homemaking, gardening, and cooking—shared her beauty routine in a video with Vogue.The media mogul’s favorite products to use in the morning include a Mario Badescu body wash and a L’Oreal Paris illuminating lotion.Both products are easily accessible for under $20 each, at drugstores and online retailers like Amazon, with one currently on sale for Memorial Day.

Martha Stewart, media mogul and trendsetter in all things home, is glowing and looking as lovely as ever; she exudes a youthful radiance that feels natural. So when Martha revealed every step of her beauty routine to Vogue, I took some notes. While her routine feels luxurious, she uses a couple of products with surprisingly affordable price tags.

For one, Martha says she loves using the Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Wash on her skin. It’s just $9, and you can get it on Amazon. Per the brand, the wash contains fruit enzymes and glycolic acid, which is known to help improve the appearance of your skin texture (by brightening and smoothing). Martha shared she’s a big Mario Badescu fan, saying she’s been visiting the brand’s spa “for more than 45 years.”

During her morning routine, Martha also likes to add “two little squirts” of L’Oreal Paris Lumi Glotion—which, by the way, is part of a Memorial Day sale on Amazon and just $11 right now (regularly $18). In the video, Martha admits that she has been using the Lumi Glotion ever since the brand applied it to her skin for a social media campaign.

“It gives you just that glow that is so important,” Martha says. “I like to glow. I don’t like matte finishes pretty much on anything. I like my furniture to be shiny. I like my face to be shiny.” She also says she loves putting the excess on her hands, sharing, “I use my hands all the time. My hands need a little bit of coverage.”

It’s not the first time we’ve heard about this lotion from L’Oreal. It’s pretty popular, boasting more than 50,000 reviews on Amazon—and more than 30,000 shoppers purchased it in the last month.

We’ve even spotted other celebrities donning the product. In fact, Viola Davis’ makeup artist revealed that he used the same lotion on Viola to give her a radiant glow at the Emmy Awards in recent years.

Thanks Martha, for sharing your tips! BRB, going to add some items to my cart.
