And to say that, at 79, she looks great doing it doesn’t scratch the surface. Her glowing confidence is only growing with age (read: that viral pool-side thirst trap) and let’s be honest, we could all use more of that energy in our lives.

At night, she removes her makeup, treats with one of her day serums, and moisturizes with either the Yon-Ka Pamplemousse Vitalizing Cream or Mario Badescu’s Revitalin Moisturizer.
