Whatever Susan Lucci is taking, I’m buying. The Emmy-award winning actress looks absolutely sensational at 79, and never more so than during her 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.
“No matter how tired I am, I never go to bed with makeup on,” Lucci told Harpers Bazaar.

I 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.

According to news reports, Susan’s beauty bag includes the following:
Back in June 2024, Susan told HELLO! her favourite beauty secrets that give her age-defying results. She shared: “I start the day with coffee—and drink hot water and lemon afterwards all day through! My diet is basically The Mediterranean diet, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and fish! Lastly, I do a Pilates workout almost every morning!”
Susan updated us on her wellness and fitness philosophy during an exclusive interview ahead of a talk with Joan Lunden on release day at The 92NY. “I think first of all, it’s the hip bones connected to the thigh bones, it’s all part of the same thing, the body, mind, spirit.”
“I started doing Pilates in my 40s, and I’m really glad I did, I wish I’d started sooner,” she added. “It really helps the stress, and I wish I had known about that.”
