Meanwhile, Demi was announced as the face of the Reset cream.
The film star is famed for her age-defying looks and flawless skin and shared how she stays looking so young by focusing on the self-care aspect of beauty.
Demi said that her Oscar-nominated role in 2024 film The Substance influenced the way she perceives ageing and beauty standards.
The gory body horror tackled the issue of impossible Hollywood beauty standards head on, with Demi playing fading film star, Elisabeth Sparkle, who is unceremoniously sacked after turning 50.
Desperate to reclaim her youth, she discovers a black-market drug which can create a 'younger, more beautiful, more perfect' version of its user - but comes with some very strict and gruesome conditions.
Speaking to ELLE, Demi explained how starring in the film reinforced her love of skincare to keep looking strong and healthy, as she declared 'ageing is a gift'.
'Filming The Substance was a very intense, visceral experience that really highlighted the dangers of self-judgment,' she explained.
'The most beautiful thing we can do is care for ourselves with kindness. I’ve viewed wellness and skin care as an act of gratitude, but this experience helped underscore that. I want to use products that work with my skin to help it stay resilient and healthy.'
Sharing the 'life-changing' secret behind her youthful and taut appearance, the Ghost star said: 'I’ve become very intentional about my evening routine.
'Taking the time to truly transition from the chaos of the day into a state of rest has been life-changing, and part of that is doing my skin care. It’s the small, daily acts of self-care that lead to the most enduring results.'
While she said that she connected with the new Lancôme collection because of the emphasis on longevity and self-care.
She said: 'Lately for me, I’ve come to view longevity as sort of an alignment. I say a lot now that it’s not about the amount of time; it’s about the quality of time you have.
'Ageing is a gift, and longevity helps you to thrive as you age, to really invest in your future. And with Longevity MD from Lancôme, I’ve been using the Reset Cream for a few months now.
'It feels like I’m investing in the future of my skin, and really supporting it from within.'

Lancôme Global Brand President Vania Lacascade shared her excitement over the partnership with Demi, gushing in a statement: 'We are absolutely delighted to welcome Demi Moore to our Collective.
'A true pioneer, Demi embodies a remarkable resilience and has always forged her own path with fearlessness and conviction. Her vision of beauty - as a form of self-determination at every stage of life - deeply resonates with Lancôme.
'We admire her unapologetic femininity, and her ability to inspire without compromise. There is a strength in how Demi embraces every chapter of her journey, challenging traditional narratives around age and power.
'She has never followed a predictable path, and her constant evolution proves that experience doesn't diminish beauty, it enriches it.'
While Demi said in her own statement: 'Lancôme stands for beauty on every level beyond just the surface. It stands for progress, for the science of possibility and for the belief that women deserve to feel beautiful and uplifted at every life stage.
'Learning to accept oneself is a journey and it is my honour to partner with a house that celebrates the same spirit. Beauty is an act of self-care, self-love, and self-acceptance and that is what I hope to embody in our partnership.'
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
