Martha Stewart, 85, has spoken about her skincare routine and healthy habits after addressing persistent speculation about her ageless appearance. The lifestyle entrepreneur recently denied undergoing plastic surgery but admitted to using 'a little bit of fillers' from her dermatologist.
Stewart graced the 180th anniversary cover of Town & Country magazine alongside basketball player Karl-Anthony Towns. In an interview accompanying the photoshoot, Stewart was asked to identify the 'fanciest' aspect of herself. "My beautiful hair and skin," she responded. "I don’t mean to sound vain, but it does make a difference. It’s what people remember."

Stewart, who became the oldest cover model for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue at 81 in 2023, has consistently denied major cosmetic surgery. "I have not had any plastic surgery at all," she stated in a previous interview, adding, "I don't think I need it." She did, however, acknowledge regular visits to her dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin, for occasional fillers, describing them as touch-ups she receives approximately every four months.
Stewart has been clear about her boundaries regarding surgical enhancements, stating she is not pursuing procedures such as breast augmentation or alterations to her hips and buttocks. 
She describes herself as someone who prioritizes maintenance, employing facial exercises and high-quality facials from practitioners like Mario Badescu and Georgia Louise. Stewart also takes peptides as part of her regimen. "So that’s what I do," she said.
Stewart attributes her youthful appearance in part to genetics and a healthy lifestyle. "My mom looked great at 95," she noted. Her diet is healthy, and she generally avoids excessive alcohol and smoking. Stewart also maintains a daily exercise routine, which includes horseback riding. She previously mentioned a Pilates regimen three mornings a week, starting at 6:30 a.m.
"I have nice bone structure and I’m strong and I’m healthy. But I work at it. I take care of myself. And I do have good heredity," Stewart commented.
Stewart's lifestyle also includes specific dining preferences. She avoids ordering room service and favors a cocktail known as a 'Martha-tini,' made with Zubrowka vodka and an orange slice. Her regular New York dining spot is Elio's, an Upper East Side restaurant she has patronized since the 1980s. For special occasions, she opts for upscale Japanese restaurants such as Masa or Joji. If invited to dinner by a neighbor, Stewart would offer a box of eggs from her own flock of over 200 chickens at her farm in upstate New York.
