“Love Island USA” host and Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix is getting candid about her evolving beauty routine and the realities of aging in the public eye. In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, the 39-year-old reality star-turned-host shared details of her skincare and cosmetic regimen, including her first laser treatment and her cautious use of Botox and lip filler.
“I just did my first laser treatment,” Madix revealed. “I’ve been very interested in that for a long time. I keep things at a minimum.”
Madix also shared that she gets Botox “every six months or so,” and recently opted for a subtle touch of lip filler. “I just got a little bit in my lips because they were getting a little crusty on the inside. I never go more than 0.5 at a time because I never want to look crazy,” she explained.
Her decision to explore laser treatments stemmed from concerns about skin laxity rather than fine lines. “Fine lines, I don’t give a s–t about,” she said, “but skin laxity is something I’ve been dealing with.” According to Madix, professionals have advised her against facial fillers due to a lack of facial structure to support them—further motivating her shift to laser-based solutions.
Beyond in-office treatments, Madix credits her youthful appearance to holistic habits, such as drinking “insane amounts of water, like 100 ounces a day,” and regularly hitting the gym.
While acknowledging the pressure to look a certain way in the entertainment industry, Madix emphasized a balanced perspective on beauty standards and aging. “I feel like you don’t want to be preoccupied with it too much,” she said. “But at the same time, if you feel good about doing something, go ahead and do it. At the end of the day, it’s nobody’s business.”
Her pragmatic take on aging was summed up with a dose of humor and honesty: “I’m going to get older no matter what. If you don’t age, you just die. I’d rather be aged than dead.”
This isn’t the first time Madix has openly discussed her cosmetic procedures. In July 2023, she responded directly to a fan’s speculation, detailing the exact work she had done, including Botox in her forehead, brow, and neck, as well as minor filler in her lips and chin. She noted then, as she does now, that minimalism and transparency are key to her beauty philosophy.
