Dolly Parton, 77, Reveals Ways to Keep Her Skin Looking Ageless

Even at the age of 77, Dolly Parton maintains her youthful beauty and glitz. According to some, she maintains a young appearance despite her skincare regimen, while others think it's her upbeat outlook. One time Parton jokingly said, "I don't have time to age. Dolly Parton, a legend in the world of country music and an icon in general, is a prime example of how to enjoy life to the fullest.

Some dermatologists advise against using makeup remover wipes, as they contain many artificial ingredients that can irritate the skin and even cause allergies. However, the Rockin' Years singer believes using these wipes will help keep her skin glowing.

“I try all the new things that come out, but there’s nothing better than good old Vaseline and those eye makeup remover pads. I use those little pads to clean my face, and it leaves enough mineral oil on my skin that it’s a good nighttime moisturizer. I have pretty good skin considering my age, and I think a lot of it is mineral oil,” she revealed.

While many famous people try to hide the fact that they've had fillers, Parton is very open about the cosmetic operations she's undergone.
“People always say I look happy, and I say well that’s the Botox. Good lighting, good makeup, and good doctors, that’s my secret,” she said.

#3 She doesn’t believe skincare products have to be expensive.

A country music legend may be able to afford high-end skincare products, but she doesn't think money can make you beautiful.

“I don’t do any big rituals with my skin or anything, and I don’t think you have to pay a ton of money to have good products. Most of the products that cost less are just as good, and sometimes better than the ones that cost a fortune. I don’t buy for fame. I just buy the ones that work for me,” she claim.

#4 She avoids being in the sun for too long.

Sun exposure can actually result in premature wrinkles and age spots, despite the common belief that browned skin looks better. Because she never spent a lot of time in the sun, Parton thinks her skin still looks nice.

“I never got out in the sun. I don’t have a lot of the same problems that women my age do ’cause I never baked myself in the sun. I would’ve if I’d been able to tan, but I couldn’t, so now I’m glad,” she shared.

#5 She’s an early riser.

Because skin produces new collagen while you sleep, getting adequate sleep is essential for healthy skin. Nonetheless, Parton prefers to start her day really early and doesn't have a tendency of resting for an extended period of time.

“I don’t need a whole lot of sleep. I go to bed pretty early, but even if I’ve been up late — it’s just kind of like a little clock inside of me that says ’it’s 3 o’clock!’ I don’t require as much sleep as a lot of other people do, that’s kind of a Parton family trait,” she stated.
