Lauren Hutton, 75, has beauty tips: ‘Don’t give up sex’ & ‘use a lot of coconut oil’

World Premiere of I Feel Pretty

Lauren Hutton is 75 years old! She turns 76 in November. Hutton was one of the first of the really big “supermodels” in the 1970s, and the gap in her front teeth made her one of the most recognizable women in the world. I think she’s cool as hell – she still works all the time as a model and actress, and she’s still getting big modeling contracts too. Hutton chatted with People Magazine to shill for her latest endorsement deal – she’s partnered with StriVectin and she’s their new global brand ambassador. Some highlights from this interview:

Ageless beauty: “As we age, women can be good-looking and vibrant in every way.” Her number one beauty tip? “A good man,” she says with a smile. “And certainly don’t give up sex—because that’s just silly.” In addition to having a “main squeeze” in her life, she also credits “laughing, reading and being in nature” as her best beauty tips.

Her favorite beauty products: She keeps it simple: “I used to use a lot of coconut oil. I put that in my hair and all over my body. And then don’t use too much makeup.”

Joan Malloy, CEO of StriVectin, on the decision to tap Hutton. “She broke through glass ceilings for women. She speaks volumes for women of her age and she celebrates her age. We love that. She was so authentic and that just validated to us that she was such a symbol of empowerment, especially because of the way she felt about aging. She didn’t have any work done. She talked about how she got fired when she was in her 40’s, from Revlon, because she was too old. It was her attitude, her approach, her spirit, her determination. It just was a natural fit for us.”

Going back to modeling after she was fired by Revlon for being too old (she was 41 when they fired her): “At 47, I went back to modeling, and it was not eas. I called up every editor I’d ever met and even those I hadn’t. I was looking at magazines, and there was no one over 28 in them, and those girls were saying they were 24. ‘Damn,’ I thought. ‘I still have a good time in bed. And most of my friends do, so why are we getting buried at 30 and 40?’”

Usually I think people are full of it when they’re like “how do I stay beautiful? I read and pour coconut oil all over my body!” But I actually halfway buy it for Lauren Hutton. People take issue with the whole idea of “so-and-so looks good FOR THEIR AGE,” so let me say this… Lauren Hutton looks like she’s lived a good life and she looks interesting and compelling for 75. I’d prefer to look at her natural-looking face than whatever is happening with Kris Jenner or Simon Cowell.

    Uhhh no. Im glad it works for her but coconut oil is terrible for a LOT of people’s skin. It’s a larger molecule which can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

    • Christina says:

      True, VV. I don’t use coconut oil on my face for that reason, but will on my heels, knees, and elbows.

    • Elisa says:

      Same, I tried coconut oil on my face but stopped because my skin looked awful. I still have some left, so will try it on my heels!
      I also tried shea butter and got red spots all over my face. I guess my skin is kinda sensitive…

  2. Boxy Lady says:

    I use raw shea butter for my face. I use it for my body only in colder months; in warmer months, I use coconut oil or a body butter for my body. Raw shea butter works really well on my skin (I’m black).

  3. Christina says:

    She is still as beautiful as when she was a top model. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the women from India who taught me how to care for my hair with coconut oil. It’s like I’m 20 again. And I’m with her: I don’t want work on my face. I like sex, the outdoors, and eating real food. People are frequently surprised when they find out I’m 51. I’m a happy, healthy, size 14 with my own face. I wanna be Lauren when I grow up!!!

    “looks like she’s lived a good life and she looks interesting and compelling” – that’s good beauty advice. Coconut oil and having a man – not so much.

    • Christina says:

      I disagree. I don’t think she means a man, per se. I think that she means that a woman’s sexuality is dismissed by society, and we can buy into that. Lots of people do. If you don’t care about sexual, that’s fine, but have it with your partner (man, woman, they) if you want to. Don’t give up the person you are if that is you. I ended a long, emotionally abusive relationship with a man who made me feel like I was worthless and unattractive to men. He told me that men would not want me if they saw me nude. I realized that I’d internalized it. The first man I slept with after him taught me that I was still able to enjoy sex as an older woman. Now I’m happily married because of that first sexual relationship with someone other than my ex.

      Re the dumb coconut oil, NONE of he expensive hair products helped my dry hair. For years I purchased fancy conditioners that did nothing but leave it feeling drier. Leaving coconut oil on my hair for at least 6 minutes before washing it out has transformed my thick, dry, Perimenopausal hair into shiny, lush locks. May not work for everyone, but these things have been transformative for me.

      • Agenbiter says:

        Good for you, but what she actually said about the importance of having ‘a good man’ is the opposite of accepting and enjoying yourself, wherever you are.

    A few months ago I married an old boyfriend from 13 years ago and we are both amazed that our sex life is as good or better than when we were younger (I’m 52 he is 55). Don’t give up loving sex! He also loves me with no makeup (I moisturize like hell though).

  6. Carol says:

    I love Lauren Hutton and her wackiness. She is truly beautiful but it helps that she was graced with great bone structure and being thin. I know she has been a long time yoga enthusiast so that also helps. So does having a youthful attitude. She is still wacky though.

    If your’e going to use an oil on your body (and especially on your face), it needs to be non-comedogenic. In other words, some oils are more likely to trigger acne outbreaks and skin dermatitis (irritation). Coconut oil is one of these oils that has caused problems for many people.

  8. Jaded says:

    She was almost killed in a horrific motorcycle accident about 20 years ago, broke a bunch of bones and was in a coma for weeks. She is made of tough stuff, I love her.

  9. The Recluse says:

    I think skin care needs to be individualized. My annoying skin still breaks out as though I was 13. I don’t dare use scrubs for that reason.
    I use organic, vegan/vegetarian moisturizers that I usually get via Marshalls or TJ Maxx. I also made up my own essential oil mixture that I apply at night, every other night before I apply my store bought moisturizers. It helps.

    A friend’s mom, who’s in her 80s, told me that she and her same-age boyfriend use coconut oil as a lubricant in their active sex life. Maybe these septuagenarians and octogenarians know something we don’t. #bless

    • Nibbi says:

      … hold up. wha? um… one can still function sexually, as a women or (even more surprisingly, imma admit!!) as a man??!!!
      this is news to me, & good news. lately i’ve been starting to think that for women it starts to become difficult in the fifties and TONS of men in my city, or so i’ve heard 😉 , have erectile difficulties, and we’re talking late 30s, early 40s …
      *having to wrap my mind around 80s…

      • GMonkey says:

        Women can experience sexual dysfunction due to hormones, health issues, skin problems, etc. Taking very good care of the skin of the nether regions can help a loot. I like coconut oil as a lubricant, but–you really need to do a patch test first because it can be allergenic.

        There’s a rise in younger men having ED and pelvic pain/pelvic floor issues because of p*rn. They get addicted to it and use a “death grip” when pleasuring themselves. I think it’s like alcohol. You’ll be super healthy if you don’t indulge, but if you do, use moderation.
