Martha Stewart has become a pro at breaking the Internet with her thirst traps. And now the iconic octogenarian is breaking down how she keeps herself looking so radiant.

The lifestyle mogul and America's first self-made billionaire, 82, is getting real about her cosmetic procedures in the season 2 premiere of her iHeartPodcasts' hit show, The Martha Stewart Podcast, which kicked off with the new episode on Feb. 8  

Listeners can tune in every Wednesday for in-depth conversations between Stewart and a variety of guests from “all walks of life.” Kris Jenner and Stewart’s best friend Snoop Dogg have previously been among them.

In the latest installment of the show, the Emmy winner has a very candid chat with her cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin, who she met through her daughter, Alexis Stewart. The main topics of the episode: an exploration of the botox, fillers and skin tightening Stewart has done — plus her hot take on aging and staying youthful.

“Everybody is so interested when they see a selfie of me posted on the Internet," she says in the episode. "So many comments are about my face lift and who did it and when did I have it done and how much retouching is on the photograph, and I just want to set the record straight,”

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Belkin breaks 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.

Stewart also admits 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 says. 

Elsewhere in the conversation, Stewart, who credits Alastin tinted moisturizer as one of the top hero products in her rotation, even asks if she’s ever had skin tightening done before (she has). “I don't even know what I've had,” she quips.

"We've done a little bit of skin tightening on you," Belkin shares. "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 reveals her honest opinion on getting older: “I don't think a lot about age, but I don't want to look my age at all. And that's why I really work hard at it,” she says, adding that she prioritizes exercise and keeps tabs on her diet in a healthy way. 

Stewart has previously used her podcast to shut down the criticism towards her groundbreaking Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. At 81, she became the oldest model to land the coveted front spot.

The Martha Stewart Podcast is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
