In case you missed it, Canadian-South African model Maye Musk turned 72 this past weekend — we can’t believe it either. Musk, an author, mother and the oldest CoverGirl model in the brand's history, gracefully proves that age is nothing but a number.
In celebration of her birthday, on Sunday, she took over Allure’s Instagram Stories series, My Beauty Ritual, to share her morning skincare routine for beautiful, glowing skin. In the snippets, Musk reveals the five easy steps of her morning skincare routine — which happens to include the perfect high-low mix of fan-favourite must-haves.
Step one: Double cleanse with makeup remover
First, after applying a terry headband to keep her hair from getting wet, Musk starts by addressing any makeup residue leftover from the night before. "No matter how well you clean your eyes, you still have a little left, especially if you've done a red carpet or some fabulous event," she says, applying Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover.

Step 2: Foaming Cleanser
She follows that with a thorough cleanse of her face with the Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleanser, a gentle foaming cleanser that removes makeup, underlying dead skin and dirt, while preparing the skin for moisturizer or serum—without disturbing its pH-balance.

Step 3: Moisturize lips
“After I wash my face, I put on lip balm, she explains as she pops open a tube of CoverGirl’s Outlast Moisturizing Topcoat. “My lips are so dry I have to use it all day.”

Step 4: Hydrate and soothe the eyes
The next thing she uses is an eye cream from the K-beauty brand Pearlosophy.
Step 5: Moisturizer
After applying eye cream, Musk uses a moisturizer: Dior Prestige La Crème Texture Essentielle, an ultra-luxurious formula with extraordinary age-defying ingredients that act on signs of aging, visible wrinkles, firmness and radiance issues. While this $562 cream comes with an applicator, Musk shows that she applies it with her fingertips.

Finishing off her routine, she also highlights a budget-friendly and a dermatologist-approved formula: CeraVe’s Moisturizing Cream.
