Dame Joan Collins, the 93-year-old Hollywood icon, has attributed her remarkably youthful appearance to good genes and a simple lifestyle. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the former Dynasty star said: 'I have very good genes – I’m very lucky.' She noted that her father lived to 87 and her mother gave her and her sister supplements during childhood.
Collins emphasised that she avoids extreme diets and complicated wellness routines. 'I just believe in healthy living. I don’t eat junk, I get eight hours of sleep, I exercise. It’s very simple,' she said. She also dismissed any concerns about her mental health, stating: 'I never have thought about my mental health, ever. My mental health is perfect.'
The actress, who remains a television icon thanks to her role as Alexis Colby in Dynasty, has repeatedly gone viral for her red carpet appearances. She has been married to Percy Gibson, 60, since 2002 and is preparing to portray Wallis Simpson in the forthcoming biopic My Duchess.
Collins reiterated that she has never undergone Botox or cosmetic surgery. 'I’ve never had them, which is why I look more or less the same as I have done for years,' she told The Sun in 2017. She added in 2023: 'I haven’t had Botox, I haven’t had any tweakments, I haven’t had fat injections.'
Her skincare routine centres on sun protection and sleeping on her back to avoid 'scrunchy face'. She has worn sun protection since age 20 and removes makeup nightly with Nivea cleanser before applying Charlotte Tilbury night cream. She also uses ice pads on her eyes to reduce puffiness, a trick learned from makeup artist Allan 'Whitey' Snyder.
