Joan Collins reveals the key to success and her best beauty advice: Life Lessons | Bazaar UK 

For a woman of 88, not only does she look fabulous, but her voice still sounds so youthful, not a hint of deepening or tremor, but clear and young sounding.. incredible. She has always been a straight shooter and says it how it is, very down to earth and ironically given her apparent ‘artifice’, wigs, Jewell’s, designer clothes etc and probably some well chosen cosmetic tweaks, very natural as a person I’ve always thought.

Dear Joan years ago, I am 71, I purchased your book Health, Youth and Happiness. That was my beauty bible. Yes lipstick is. Everything you are saying in this video is how I take care of myself. During the eighties I would make up hair and clothes like you did in Dynasty. My husband was older than me and we loved Dynasty. One day I went to work and my boss said “who do we have here, Joan Collins.” People today can’t believe I am 71. So nice to see you in this video. 🥰

Dame Joan is 88 and enjoying her life. She has set a wonderful example that enjoying life is not dictated by age or youth.

Isn't she just extraordinarily lovely?

She has aged so beautifully. Can’t believe shes nearly 90!

I love Joan Collins, she’s absolutely genuine.

Joan is a wonderful lady. Honest, wise, down to earth and incredibly beautiful. This woman is amazing

Even if the lady doesn't read my comment. Her real beauty secret is her intelligence and humor. I like this self-determined lady.

“I don’t read it, baby.” Perfect

I can only hope to be as composed, classy, and well spoken as her! What a woman.

88 and still rocking it! What an absolute inspiration. Thank you, Joan. You're beautiful in every way 💜

Dame Joan is one classy Dame. She's always worked and still does, she' been though it all especially a lot of rejection which, is hard for anyone, and she has pretty much supported herself and her family. She hasn't given up which, is a true inspiration for men and women. She did it all while, still staying beautiful. Keep it up and, keep working Dame Joan!

I really like Joan Collins, she really is so straight forward, totally glamourous , with high standards, that can be sadly lacking sometimes today!

Gotta love Joan...Her candor just adds to her beauty.

I like that she doesn't try to look younger, just classy! Classy never goes out of style!

Joan has always been so awesome with life advice, shares her beauty advice , dealing with life issues.. what a grand woman!!

My oldest granddaughter was named Alexis! Joan's Dynasty character Alexis Colby was my favorite. Underneath all that glamor, Alexis loved her children and would fight like a tigress to protect them. Joan Collins is also one of the greatest actresses of her generation and still so beautiful inside and out.

She clearly explained the traits and to some extent, core values that brought her to where she is. She is clever, adaptable, and apparently honest. She is very British.

Lovely elegant old school film star glam love her ♥️

Beauty, common sense, humor, realistic. Perfect.💕

Thank you for putting such wonderfully glamorous and wise mature women on this channel. Joan, I could listen to you all day. (Not that you will be reading this). Such wise advice, about career and friends. Gosh you have really spoken to me today. Thank you and I hope and know you will always be glam. x

"You need to find your feet". Loved this talk about confidence.

Love Joan she is so honest and straight talking.

I admire her strength and fortitude. What woman wouldn’t? She’s made mistakes with her choice of partners sometimes but she doesn’t let it crush her spirit. Always positive, witty and entertaining her advice is invaluable.

"Keep your face out of the Sun " 🌞 .... Took her advice in 80s, & it works ! Thanks Joan 💖 💄 😉

Joan Collins was very aware of her physicality and dressed in ways to emphasize the strengths and minimizing other areas. She was also very strict and consistent in her eating and exercise where she never operated under extremes in either direction. I believe this reflects in her overall longevity combined with always wearing age-appropriate clothing. A totally class-act where she believed in herself.

So fabulous! Alexis Carrington was the villainous we all loved to hate. Joan is still so classy, demure and glamorous. Queen!

Love this woman! She is fantastic.

She's so awesome, she takes no bull shit and knows all the Hollywood dirt. I am sure there is a ton of tea she could spill but she's a class act. I hope we have her around and sharp as a tack like this for many more years.

She is just a wonderful person who you just feel you could sit with her for the afternoon and be spellbound by her stories and tips. I also LOVE how she has not been stitched, poke, injected and plumped up to look like a clown. She is beautiful and herself. More young women need to learn from her. Now to go home, remove my makeup completely and slather on the night cream.

Joan is a living legend.

The definition of FABULOUS

Wonderful Dame Joan, beautiful then, beautiful now, inside and out. She sure can teach the younger generation a thing or two, classy, stylish and amazing wise words, god bless you lovely Dame Joan.

One classy dame.

The most amazing beautiful talented woman . The lady every young girl should aspire to. I have been in total awe of her my entire life. She still looks stunning . I wish her many more years of good health and happiness.

Not many celebrities make sense, Joan is exceptionally bright and very pleasant. Than you!

My absolute favourite. Joan is a marvellous woman. Straight talking woman, and I'm pleased she's had all these years of happiness with Percy her husband. Well done girl, I'll be watching your documentary. Stay safe.

Her voice is so soothing!

Love Joan! Beautiful, smart and honest

My Mum loved Joan and so do I. I remember reading one of her books, My Secrets when I was 27 and Joan's advice was that wearing foundation protects your skin from damage. I remember reading that and now I'm almost 56 that advice has definitely worked for me. Also thinking well of yourself too, that also carries you through life, through all the ups and downs.x 😊

A woman, who is true to her word. Rare to find these days ✨️

She's always so honest. She's still a beauty 😍

Such a great lady . She tells it like it is …pulls no punches . I’ve been a fan since I saw her play the Siren on Batman when I was a little boy . A true star !

well I'm 75 IN April 2022 and I want to grow up to be just like JOAN COLLINS :)

Brilliant, terrific and so gorgeous in person... I was floored....

This is one amazing and wonderful woman. What an inspiration and a delight always. She’s sassy smart funny and intelligent. Those things last forever and are a rare combination. Joan is one of the last remaining of the era that was sheer glamour and iconic stars. Long live our Joan. Love her to pieces.

Always saw Miss Joan as a classy lady with level headed sense. Love her work and she always comes across honest and still attractive.

Dame Joan Collins... gives content I enjoy one of the most.

The Queen has spoken.

I love Joan she is professional always and is very wise, a true icon.

This is what fabulous looks like, Joan Collins is a class act.

Iconic person

Best advice "keep yr face out of the sun" absolutely

Her intelligence and confidence are inspiring.

So beautiful, honest and real. A true icon, love you Joan ❤️❤️🥰💝

An inspiration! I love those clothes and her fabulous authenticity. She's kissed some of the greats! God bless you Joan!

My siblings and i watched Dynasty as we grew up. During those days, in my neighborhood, we were the only family that had a television. As a child, watching Dynasty was a way of learning English. My dad always ensured that all the English words spoken by Alexis Carrington were written on a piece of paper. After Dynasty finished, my dad would teach us to look for the words in the dictionary. Alexis Carrington spoke impeccable English and we all loved her character and also, her sense of style...👌🏿

I have so much respect and warm regard for Dame Joan.

I recently discovered her and im her fan already. She looks fabulous. She is 91 now and looks amazing as always.

She’s right about confidence- i could give two figs for being young again- I wouldn’t trade the confidence and life experience i have now at 49 to be 25 again with all those insecurities and fears and anxieties- no thank you- life just gets better and better - my goal is to age like a fine wine just like dame joan - been a dynasty fan since i was a girl- i’m an 80s child and a GenXer so i have a lot of nostalgia for joan

What an amazing woman Joan Collins is. Such elegance, beauty, glamor, intelligence and class. I want to be like her 💞

What an inspirational woman!!

This is the thing how you can look so elegant so glamorous but still be down to earth that's the real lady. 🌹

She’s incredible I remember serving her in Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge a lot nicer than most high profile people that shopped there

"Don't sweat the small stuff....get over it". Oh how I love Joan!!

Have always loved Joan Collins!

Thats one class act right there .i bow to you ms.collins

Exceptionally beautiful, respectful, intelligent woman. Just listened to her on BBC radio2, very brave, never a sheep, strong woman 💃♥️

She's beautiful and so wise.. I enjoyed listening.

Lovely, lovely Joan. Sensational till this day. Just love her. A beauty, inside and out

She has always been just wonderful! I always liked her!

She's elegantly amazing.

Women can learn a lot from her! She doesn't sugar coat and is honest is the way she speaks.

Classic. Very Elegant. Chic as always. Dame Joan.

A true Icon, and lovely lady. Eloquent, elegant and intelligent. A winning combination for any woman.

i love how Joan has kept that rockin' 80s hair-do

She’s fantastic

Love Joan - beautiful inside and out. Old school beauty.

Very wise, talented and exceptionally beautiful woman. 🌷💖🌸💐

Still a spectacular beauty and a strong role model for women!

What a woman, if you haven’t checked out Joan’s new autobiography based on her extensive diaries, I can highly recommend it! Especially the audiobook as she narrates that herself and she’s just brilliant! A true icon in my book.

Joan, I always liked you over the years. Ur just like the finest wine, never goes stale.

Awesomeness! I just love Dame Joan. Very talented, wise and straight forward. God bless her!

Just love you Miss Collins I totally adore you you are simply fabulous.

"Unfortunately a lot of people only like you if you are very successful". Yes, sad truth. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But there are still good people out there! How hard it is to survive in Hollywood. One should have a charachter of steel, resilience, strong personality and a safe place which is a supportive family.

It's the Sparkle in Joan's Eyes that keeps her looking Young

Joan looks fantastic, young, gentl, professional and kind.

Dear Joan you been my role model and inspiration since I was a little girl watching you on Dynasty. Sending you much love and respect ❤ . You truly are "The Goddess of Glamour."

I've taken her advice about keeping your face out of the sun....she did an interview meny years ago, about two decades ago in 2003 and I have taken her advice at age 22 back then and she is absolutely right, it does wonders for your skin in the long run and you age slower and I'm now 41 years old and people think I'm 24 years old and call me a kid. Because I stayed out of the sun, worked out daily, running 30 miles a day, and eating right. And I drink nothing but water and tea, tea with no sugar, just plain tea with just lemon. And I started all this in my early 20's when most people my age at the time were eating junk foods and processed foods. Before I took this advice I was doing what every young youthful person was doing, swimming a lot in the sun, getting tans, and always in the sun and eating anything, nothing but fast foods, drinking a lot, and partying hard...although I still partied hard and went out clubbing and still had a great young experience, and still went out on the night life...but remember it was at night time... when the sun was gone, and I avoided beer and only took shots. But I always worked out and ran everyday the next day. When my friends tell the 20 year olds, who are usually playing beer pong today, to guess how old do you think I am...They all look at me and say ??? 24, 25ish? And my friends tell them No he is 41 years old and they all look at me with their eyes popped out and astonished and try to interrogate me and telling I'm lying and they ask me for proof and I show them My ID and they are floored...they all can't believe I'm 41, they thought I was around there age and They all ask me what my secret is...I tell them....it's not that fancy or anything drastic...just stay out of the sun and moisturize, and eat healthy, drink water and stay away from processed foods, and never stress, just feel young all the time...Idk what else to say...I'm still gonna age someday, my aging process is just slower...and also I don't have kids so I don't have the same worries and hectic responsibilities and stresses and weight gain couples have when being to comfortable with eachother and sometimes let ethemselves go after awhile...that takes a lot out of person and that ages you...but I have to say having kids is a beautiful thing, I love my nieces and nephews and I love watching them grow and celebrating Birthdays, holidays with them. But being a parent is a very hard and stressful and I've seen people my age look 50 years old and some are getting white hair because most people look like that at age 40 ..they all look like they can be my parent... which really bazaar to me.

Beautiful and so witty! I use to crack up at her as Alexis - perfect role for her she was a powerhouse. I loved her, John and Linda!!! What a crew that were dynamic together. I’m still watching Dynasty over & over. I laugh & cry ❤❤❤

Wow now that's what I call a real women , She has absolutely everything a man could wish for ,Beauty and Brains too And such a lovely manner , One of England s finest ,Great video .

I like this woman- she’s real

love her! my friend stephanie beacham says joan is the real deal. and she never lies.

Thank you so much for being a great person.. Thank you Joan and continued success always.

Ah the wonderful, wonderful, Joan. Completely beautiful - at any age. And a great personality! So sensible and shrewd yet lovely sense of humour. Can laugh at herself too. Not pompous. I love what you're wearing here too!! 🤗☀️Happy 2022💐

To Joan's point about some people having hated Alexis... I personally believe that hating Alexis should be considered a crime.

Beautiful woman! Classy, strong, wise and a wonderful actress 🎊🎉🍾🎶

Joan, thank you for your life lessons. I appreciate.

One of a kind. Wonderful.

I love Joan Collins. She's very elegant.
