Big news has just shaken up the beauty world: Martha Stewart is officially stepping into the scene. On August 4, the entrepreneur revealed that she is the co-founder of the new brand Elm Biosciences, in partnership with renowned board-certified dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD.
With two initial products—an antioxidant serum and a skin supplement—the 84-year-old Stewart is finally revealing the secret to her youthful skin, a development she says has taken five years to accomplish. “I set out years ago to take care of my skin,” Stewart says in a press release. “Along the way, I met Dr. Bhanusali, and we started doing our research and development to create a skincare line unlike any other. I have been using our products for the last five years in all developmental iterations, and I must say I am extremely pleased with the results.”
Stewart has long dodged plastic surgery rumors, going so far as to go on record in a Today interview that she’s only had fillers and Botox. She mentioned that she hated the Botox because it caused her to develop a Spock brow, a temporary side effect where the outer eyebrows arch unnaturally, making her look like the character Spock from Star Trek.
Alas, Stewart credits her flawless skin to a healthy diet, lifestyle, and now Elm Biosciences products. The brand claims to be supported by an advisory board of over 350 dermatologists, scientists, and medical researchers, but first-hand reviews will have to wait, as the products won’t be available until September 17.
In the meantime, there are plenty of products on the market that can help improve fine lines, skin elasticity, and wrinkles. Keep reading for some of the formulas that Marie Claire editors swear by.
