For Melissa Rivers, age is just a number.

The newlywed “Fashion Police” alum, “Group Text” podcast host and daughter of the late, great Joan Rivers is one of QVC’s Q50 ambassadors, joining a roster of “amazing, dynamic” women 50+ ranging from Kathy Hilton to Naomi Watts to Billie Jean King.

“Every time I see her, my eyeballs roll back in my head, and I want to faint because it’s like ‘Oh my God — I’m standing here with a legend,’” Rivers tells Page Six Style of the tennis icon, adding that she feels “lucky” to be included in such a stellar lineup.

“They are a great, strong group of women who are successful, and age has nothing to do with their success.”

Or their beauty, for that matter. To that end, we asked Rivers — who recently executive-produced a comedy special honoring her mom, “Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute” — to share a handful of her favorite products with us.

Keep scrolling to shop her must-haves, from a “fantastic” mascara to the makeup remover she “cannot live without.”

“I used Philosophy before anyone knew that Philosophy was good, so I love a lot of their products.
I’m huge on travel-sized [bottles]. The cleanser doesn’t strip your face.”

“Right now, I vacillate between a couple [of mascaras]. If I want to use tubing, it’s from Tarte, which I think is fantastic.

“I just discovered the Westman Atelier mascara after the [California] fire, when I went to a store that was giving care packs. That was the first time I tried it. But I like the non-tubing for daytime and the tubing for nighttime — it’s really top of the line to me.”

“I can’t live without moisturizer. I have the world’s driest skin … I don’t think there’s one on the market that I haven’t tried.

“My favorite so far — the one I am addicted to — is Neutrogena Water Gel. Literally, I love how it feels, I love how it smells, and that’s been my go-to now for about two years. Everyone’s like, ‘Really, not some fancy brand?’ and I’m like, ‘No, not right now.”

“One of my favorite, favorite, favorite eye palettes.”

“Because I’m in makeup so much for work, I come home and I wash my face immediately and moisturize, then I do my full routine before bed. I cannot live without [these] face washcloths.

“You can’t use it only by itself, but for when you’re fully made up or when I’m in TV makeup, I literally wash my face with that multiple times and then go in with a cleanser and use it again — can’t live without them.”

“My mom also had dry skin, so it was moisturize all the time. But my mom had this perfect skin — she never had a breakout in her life — so she used to use old-school Pond’s on her face and her body.

“I think if I had Pond’s even in my bathroom, I would break out without even getting near the container, but she used Pond’s always, just her whole life. Her beauty go-to was Pond’s — and for her lips, if they were really dry, A+D ointment.”
