Martha Stewart is spilling her skincare secrets.
The lifestyle mogul is revealing the truth behind the plastic surgery rumors surrounding her youthful appearance while also sharing her favorite beauty routines and healthy habits credits for making her look and feel her best at age 84.
"Everybody insists that I've had plastic surgery and I have not ever had plastic surgery," she tells PEOPLE exclusively while speaking about her skincare line, Elm Biosciences. "I'm the most honest person on earth — but if they won't take my word for it, I don't know."
"How can they not take my word for it?" she wonders, doubling down, "That's the truth!"

Stewart, however, did share a time she had a plastic surgeon do reparative work on her face about a decade ago after she sustained an injury from one of her French bulldogs — but she doesn't consider that plastic surgery.
"I had to be at Today at 7 a.m. and there was a big blizzard. I leaned down in my dark kitchen to kiss the dogs goodbye," she recalls, explaining, "I put my head down to one of my French bulldogs and I frightened her and she bolted up."
"She didn't bite me. She bashed my lip into my tooth and split it from my lip almost all the way to my nose and blood started gushing out all over the dog," she continues, noting, "This is 11 p.m. in a blizzard. This is the only time I've ever missed an appearance."

Stewart said she called the hospital immediately, telling the person on the phone that she had a "very bad accident." She then requested a plastic surgeon "right away" to help her before hopping into a car with her security guard who drove her through the snow storm.
"I get to the hospital and I think they did 16 stitches in my lip," she says. "I can't call that plastic surgery, that is a repair. It's a terrible, terrible, terrible split lip... you cannot see. I healed so well. That is the extent of a plastic surgeon working on my face."
Stewart adds, "That is the only time I've ever had a plastic surgeon touch my face."
The beauty entrepreneur, meanwhile, says her diligent skincare routine, which includes her recently-released A3O™ Elemental Night Cream ($165), is why she has such glowing skin now. The Elm Biosciences product is a third from the brand, which launched in September 2025.

She even referred to an Instagram selfie posted on Jan. 12 to prove that her skin has benefitted from the product — as well as her healthy lifestyle, which includes diet and working out.
"I took that picture right at the reservoir that adjoins my property and the light was so beautiful, that's just daylight and it looks so good," she says. "But no retouching. You can't see any scar and no lines. I mean, hardly any imperfections in my skin."
"That's this stuff," she says, referring to the serum. "This stuff is really working. You have to remember my age too — and I look pretty good for my age... But no plastic surgery."
In February 2024, Stewart opened up about cosmetic procedures on her iHeartPodcasts show, The Martha Stewart Podcast, and spoke about using botox, fillers and skin tightening.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Belkin broke down the types of treatments he does on Stewart, including muscle-relaxing injections in her neck and jawline and the kind of fillers he has administered into her cheeks.
"We've done a little bit of skin tightening on you," Belkin shared. "We've done a little ultrasound tightening I think, a long time ago. We did a little softwave, which is an ultrasound based tightening device. And we've done a little bit of Ulthera, which is a great ultrasound based skin tightening that works."
Stewart also admitted that having botox on the upper part of her face hasn't always gone in her favor. "My eyebrows kind of go up in a V and that looks so unnatural," she said.
As for what the future holds for Elm Biosciences, Stewart tells PEOPLE, "I'm looking forward to working on several other products that will be launching [in 2026]. This is a big step in the right direction for us."
