 		Melissa Rivers discovered this ‘old-school’ beauty staple from mom Joan: ‘She had perfect skin’

For Melissa Rivers, age is just a number.

The newlywed “Fashion Police” alum, “Group Text” podcast host and daughter of the late, great Joan Rivers is one of QVC’s Q50 ambassadors, joining a roster of “amazing, dynamic” women 50+ ranging from Kathy Hilton to Naomi Watts to Billie Jean King.

“Every time I see her, my eyeballs roll back in my head, and I want to faint because it’s like ‘Oh my God — I’m standing here with a legend,'” Rivers tells Page Six Style of the tennis icon, adding that she feels “lucky” to be included in such a stellar lineup.

“They are a great, strong group of women who are successful, and age has nothing to do with their success.”

Or their beauty, for that matter. To that end, we asked Rivers — who recently executive-produced a comedy special honoring her mom, “Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute” — to share a handful of her favorite products with us.

Keep scrolling to shop her must-haves, from a “fantastic” mascara to the makeup remover she “cannot live without.”

Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser Trio

“I used Philosophy before anyone knew that Philosophy was good, so I love a lot of their products.
I’m huge on travel-sized [bottles]. The cleanser doesn’t strip your face.”


Tarte Cherry Crush Maracuja Juicy Lips & Tubing Mascara Set

“Right now, I vacillate between a couple [of mascaras]. If I want to use tubing, it’s from Tarte, which I think is fantastic.

“I just discovered the Westman Atelier mascara after the [California] fire, when I went to a store that was giving care packs. That was the first time I tried it. But I like the non-tubing for daytime and the tubing for nighttime — it’s really top of the line to me.”


Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel

“I can’t live without moisturizer. I have the world’s driest skin … I don’t think there’s one on the market that I haven’t tried.

“My favorite so far — the one I am addicted to — is Neutrogena Water Gel. Literally, I love how it feels, I love how it smells, and that’s been my go-to now for about two years. Everyone’s like, ‘Really, not some fancy brand?’ and I’m like, ‘No, not right now.”


Tarte Amazonian Clay Palette with Brush & Fake Awake Eyeliner

“One of my favorite, favorite, favorite eye palettes.”

“Because I’m in makeup so much for work, I come home and I wash my face immediately and moisturize, then I do my full routine before bed. I cannot live without [these] face washcloths.

“You can’t use it only by itself, but for when you’re fully made up or when I’m in TV makeup, I literally wash my face with that multiple times and then go in with a cleanser and use it again — can’t live without them.”


Pond’s Dry Skin Cream (2-Pack)

“My mom also had dry skin, so it was moisturize all the time. But my mom had this perfect skin — she never had a breakout in her life — so she used to use old-school Pond’s on her face and her body.

“I think if I had Pond’s even in my bathroom, I would break out without even getting near the container, but she used Pond’s always, just her whole life. Her beauty go-to was Pond’s — and for her lips, if they were really dry, A+D ointment.”
