Josephine de la Baume - In Her 20s

Josephine de La Baume - Newlywed Parisian actress and singer, age 28
She may reside in the public eye, but the star refuses to diet, favors little makeup, and doesn't go a day without having a bite of chocolate.

Ivanka Trump - In Her 30s

Ivanka Trump - Real estate power player and fashion, jewelry, & fragrance designer, age 31
The new mother juggles family life and a demanding career but never neglects her antiaging skin-care routine (or her biweekly pedicure).

BODY "Once every two weeks, I'll lie in the bath with Jo Malone bath oil, a book, and an SK-II face mask [$90]. After, I'll apply Aveeno or Lubriderm body lotion. Before I launched my own perfume, I only wore scents at night, but now I spritz my Ivanka Trump fragrance every morning."

Cecilia Dean - In Her 40s

Cecilia Dean - Cofounder of Visionaire, an art and fashion publication, age 41
The former model balances work in the fashion and are world with a quiet life in Brooklyn, cooking, growing vegetables, and raising chickens.

BODY "I have yet to experience an amazing massage, so I rarely get them. I like scrubs from The Body Shop, and I moisturize with body lotion from Nivea, Kiehl's, and La Prairie."

Susan Fales-Hill - In Her 50s

Susan Fales-Hill - Author, mother, and fashion enthusiast, age 50
Although she spends most days writing novels at the library, that doesn't stop her from sporting a smoky eye and designer duds daily.

BODY "Once I had a child, spa days became a thing of the past, but I am religious about bikini waxes. I enjoy soaking in the tub with Epsom salt, and I moisturize with Nivea body lotion. I wear Hermes 24 Faubourg every day. I feel naked without it. I even put on fragrance before bed. I love smelling good, and my husband appreciates it."

Essie Weingarten - In Her 60s

Essie Weingarten - Founder and global creative director of Essie Cosmetics, age 63
A self-proclaimed girly girl, the nail-lacquer legend has a beauty routine that is serious business, with scheduled facials, blowouts, manicures, and pedicures.

BODY "I take three hot showers a day with L'Occitane shower gel, then powder my entire body with Johnson's Baby Powder [$3.99]. I get many compliments that I smell good; I think it's the powder mixed with my Chanel Coco Mademoiselle fragrance [$105]."
