Dame Joan Collins, who has been a fixture in the spotlight for the past seven decades, shows no signs of slowing down.

The Dynasty icon appeared on BBC’s One Show last week to chat about her forthcoming live show, Behind the Shoulder Pads, set to take place at London’s Adelphi Theatre next month. One thing she discussed is the secret to her youthful appearance – and she said it doesn’t involve surgery or jabs.

Despite being 91, the actress looked as stunning as ever, with her flawless complexion drawing particular attention. The star and author has previously stated that she hasn’t resorted to Botox, fat injections or any other ‘tweakments’, preferring natural methods over surgical procedures to maintain her perfect skin.

She once told The Mirror: ‘I don’t go to bed without taking off my makeup and putting on night cream. My mother had me and sister Jackie doing that when we were 14.”

Joan disclosed that her nightly skincare regimen includes removing her makeup with a £5.50 Nivea cleanser, followed by applying a Charlotte Tilbury night cream. She also shared her secret routine before hitting the red carpet: “Before all big events and post-flights, I get a bowl of ice and cotton pads, cool the pads and place them on my eyes, then lie down for five minutes. It reduces puffiness and refreshes the eyes.”

The American Horror Story: Apocalypse star is a fan of the £35 Magic Night Cream from Charlotte Tilbury. Described as ‘beauty sleep in a decadent cream elixir’, this product is designed to provide intense moisture to the skin throughout the night while you rest.

The product boasts a blend of ingredients including plant stem cells, time-released retinol, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, promising to deliver supple, dewy and plump skin by morning. According to the brand, over 90 percent of beauty enthusiasts in a trial reported that their skin appeared and felt firmer.

Dame Joan isn’t the only one who swears by the Magic Night Cream. The “truly magic” product has garnered over 1,430 five-star reviews on the Charlotte Tilbury website. One customer expressed: “I am so happy that I’ve bought this cream, it really is magic. I put it on my face before I got to sleep and in he morning I look fresh and happy.”

Another shared: “I am 58 and this Night Cream truly is magic. I put it on every night before bed, and every morning I wake up with a plump, firm and luminous complexion.

“I add a little blush, gloss and mascara, Charlotte Tilbury, of course, and I’m ready for the day.”

A different user stated: “I bought the night cream after trying a sample. I have spent lots of money on creams before that have made all sorts of claims. This one delivers, my face is plumper and my skin just radiates.

“I am 62-years-old and I can see a very clear visible difference after using the night cream and also the eye cream.”

Among the mixed feedback, one customer described the Magic Night Cream as ‘too heavy’, commenting: “I received a few samples of this night cream and I’m glad I decided to try before buying it as its not one for me. The gel like cream is thick. It felt heavy on my skin and left a greasy Vaseline like feel.

“It took a very long time to absorb and I ended up washing it off.”
