Singer Dolly Parton’s beauty regime consists of cleaning up her face in the morning, followed by putting on makeup.

She would then just touch up throughout the day, and not clean her face at night.

There are two reasons for this, which she revealed in a recent interview with WSJ Magazine.

“Because I never know if there’s going to be an earthquake or a tornado or a storm and I’m going to have to go out in the middle of the night!” the 75-year-old explained.

She added: “I don’t like to go home and just tear down completely, because my poor husband has to look at me.”

The 9 To 5 hitmaker also spoke on the importance of being comfortable in one’s own skin when finding their style.

In the article, she shared the origin of her unique look, calling it as “glamorous trash”.

The legendary country singer said: “My own overexaggerated look came from a serious place I’ve often spoken about: the town tramp in our little country hometown.

“They called her trash, but to me she was absolutely beautiful.

“She wore colourful patchwork skirts and pretty blouses and showed a little cleavage and had red nails and piled-up blond hair and red lipstick and high heels.

“She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen.

“When everybody would say, ‘Oh, she’s just trash’, I’d say, ‘Well, trash is what I’m going to grow up to be.’

“And I guess my look is glamorous trash!”
