From a strict no-booze rule to a £1 Amazon buy, 5 rules Demi Moore swears by to ‘age backwards’ at 61
SINCE her appearance in the sex comedy Blame It on Rio in 1989, Demi Moore’s career has really taken off.
Amongst some of her popular films are Striptease, If These Walls Could Talk, as well as the legendary Charlie’s Angels where she starred with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore.
The brunette beauty recently fans totally horrified with her latest movie, The Substance, with traumatised Brits allegedly calling it quits and leaving the cinema just minutes into the body horror.
One cinema-goer said: “At least 20 people walked out of my screening in Leicester Square before the end. It was brutal.
“Most people watched it through their hands. It was the most graphic film I’ve ever seen.”
Demi plays fading celeb Elisabeth Sparkle, who uses a black market drug that creates a younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, 29 — but with horrific side effects.
The Ghost star knew the movie would be divisive – but that didn’t stop her from signing up and proudly attending the premiere of it earlier this September.
Stepping out at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada, Demi looked flawless – and fans refused to believe she was 61.
Over on Reddit fans were quick to praise her ”age defying beauty”, with one saying: “What the f**k. 61 years? She looks beautiful.
From a strict no-alcohol rule to a special Amazon bargain you can bag for a quid, here’s everything the mum-of-three swears by to keep the wrinkles at bay…
Big on moisturiser
According to the actress, she used to take notes from her mother when it comes to maintaining a youthful glow, Women’s Health reported.
She said: “My mother always drilled in me no matter what that you should wash, cleanse and moisturise your skin.”
The star, who’s turning 62 in November, added that she hydrates more just her face – her neck, chest area and boobs also get lathered in rich lotion.
Make-up removing towel
Meanwhile, when it’s finally time to remove the foundation at the end of a star-studded red carpet event, Demi will use a gentle make-up removing cloth.
“This thing literally takes everything off,” said Demi who dubbed it ”magic”.
Fellow beauty buffs can get their hands on the make-up essential from the high street, including Primark, or Amazon where a pack-of-five will set you back just a fiver – or £1 per cloth.

Bye, bye to booze
Demi has long been transparent about her struggles with alcohol and sobriety.
Opening up about her past in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the mum said: “I don’t want to miss a moment of life, of that texture, even if that means being in… Some pain.”
But not only has going sober changed her mental health for good, it’s also had a positive impact on Demi’s skin.
Turns out, your favourite alcoholic bevvy actually decreased the amount of anti-diuretic hormones in your system – which is a substance that gives your skin that healthy glow and hydration.
Facial massages
What’s better than a relaxing massage at the end of a long working week? But your face can benefit it from too – and at 61, Demi is living proof of it.
After following her usual skincare, Demi will rub a stone across her jawline, up into her cheekbones, along her forehead and down her neck.
“You work through all the tension in your face,” the A-lister explained.
“It activates the blood flow in your skin. When you’re over 50 and you feel like your skin is hitting the floor, this is an incredible uplift.”
It all starts from within
Whilst having a chat with fellow star Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi dropped a knowledge bomb and revealed her top skincare tip – taking care of yourself from within.
”But I definitely think beauty starts on the inside,” the celeb said appearing on Good panel.
”You can do anything you want to the outside, but if the inside isn’t looking or feeling good, then I don’t know if anything you do on the outside is going to be good enough.”
