She moisturizes…a lot.
Ross maintains a youthful complexion by following a skincare routine that's heavy on moisture. "Listen, I like to go to bed nice and greasy, you could fry an egg on my face. I like to moisturize so much I look like a dolphin," she told GLAMOUR. Other ways to slow down signs of aging skin include sticking to a vitamin-rich diet, drinking green tea, and protecting your skin from the sun.
