Chaka Khan shared the secret to her youthful looks in an appearance on the “Table Manners” podcast with Jessie Ware.
Chaka, who turned 73 on Monday, denied going under the knife.
“I’ve never been cut, never been snitched or snatched. I don’t believe in it,” she said.
As for her skincare secret: The Queen of Funk revealed she oils and moisturizes her face every night before going to bed.
“You can use anything from baby oil to your favorite lotion… Just pop that sht on and go to sleep. Excuse my French.”
Chaka said facial masks help especially in the winter time when the air is so dry. The “I Feel for You” singer said she doesn’t have time for face massages.
“I don’t have time for any of that. I’ve got kids – the kids are grown, but I’ve got the grandkids and the great grandkids.”
Chaka’s career spans more than 5 decades beginning in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist for the funk band Rufus.
The band’s biggest-selling hits include “Tell Me Something Good”, “Sweet Thing”, “Do You Love What You Feel”, and the platinum-certified “Ain’t Nobody”.
Chaka’s solo hits include “I’m Every Woman”, “What Cha’ Gonna Do for Me”, “I Feel for You”, “Through the Fire” and “Higher Love”. She has won 11 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
