At 83, Martha Stewart continues to defy expectations with her radiant complexion and timeless energy.

This article unpacks the skin-care principles behind Stewart’s youthful look, with expert insights from Dr. Bhanusali, one of Martha Stewart’s dermatologists, whose work has helped define modern skin personalization.

Martha Stewart's Daily Routine: Personalized, Hydrating, Protective
While her lifestyle involves magazine covers and farm life, Stewart’s daily skin-care routine remains relatively simple and focused on hydration, sun protection, and consistency. According to Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, the foundation of Martha’s glow lies in high-quality basics tailored precisely to her skin.
Her daily essentials include:
A custom sheet mask formulated for her skin needs
Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream Supreme to maintain firmness and hydration around the eyes
A blend of Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral SPF 36 with moisturizer for broad-spectrum sun protection
Mario Badescu Facial Spray for refreshing hydration throughout the day
These products may seem minimalist, but they’re paired with advanced dermatological support behind the scenes.
“She has to know what every ingredient does, how it works...we actually talk about studies quite a bit,” says Dr. Bhanusali.
The Power of a Bespoke Serum
One of the most notable elements in Stewart’s skin-care regimen is a completely custom-made serum, developed with VISIA-CR Skin Analysis. This advanced imaging system allows Dr. Bhanusali to analyze sun damage, wrinkles, and photoaging patterns, and build a unique formula specifically for Stewart.
“We look at a host of ingredients—most of which are hydrating and nourishing—and continue to work with her to find the right balances,” Dr. Bhanusali told Vogue.
This personalization is where Dr. Bhanusali’s expertise truly shines. Known for combining science and aesthetics, he’s part of a new generation of dermatologists shaping skincare innovation at the highest levels.
Martha Stewart's Skin Philosophy: Skip the Exfoliation, Never Skip the SPF
Despite the popularity of exfoliators, Dr. Bhanusali revealed that Stewart avoids exfoliation, preferring to protect and nourish rather than strip the skin. Her number-one non-negotiable? Sun protection.
Living and working on her farm, Stewart is outdoors often, and SPF is her armor against photoaging. This consistent focus on sun care is one of the most effective anti-aging steps anyone can take.
For special events, she may prep with:
Laser Genesis for refined texture
Aesthetica Facial for deep hydration and glow
