When I reflect on my earliest beauty influences, one of them is undoubtedly my grandmother, Joan Wells — an eternally glamorous woman with a taste for leopard print, vintage clothes and maximalism, and some of the most beautiful skin I’ve ever seen (not to mention a proud former carrier of a cosmetology license).
Throughout the years, I’ve watched her apply makeup and scanned her vanity table’s contents, but it dawned on me that I had yet to ask my grandmother, who’s now in her 70s, her about the beauty products she has been using as of late.
Down below, she filled me in on some of her favorite goods that current;y best suit her mature complexion and skin needs. In addition to Wells’ recommendations, I mined some highly informative Reddit threads along with some former HuffPost coverage to help curate this upcoming list.
