Tori Spelling is recounting a beauty trick she learned from her late Beverly Hills, 90210 costar and friend Shannen Doherty.

On the Wednesday, Mar. 25 episode of Spelling’s podcast “MisSPELLING,” the 52-year-old actress said, "So you guys, you know how facelift is like the big thing right now?"

Spelling went on to say that, as facelifts are rising in popularity, she "drinks the Kool-Aid," but hasn't yet gone under the knife for the procedure.

"I have not gone down that road before, as I've talked about publicly," she said. "I kind of get backlash for people thinking I've had more plastic surgery and fixes to my face than I have, so I tend to go less and then be really mad in my head when my skin doesn't look smooth like every other actress out there."

She continued: "Anyway, so I remembered that, back when we were doing a photoshoot, my close friend, Shan Dougherty — Shan would be fine with me telling this story — she said, 'Oh, you know, a quick fix.' And I said, 'What?' She goes, 'Face tape.' "

Spelling went on to recount that another actress — June Lockhart, who played Spelling's character Donna Martin's grandmother on the show — also used the trick."And I remembered on 90210, June played my grandmother. Like legend, just passed away recently in last year, 100 years old, amazing actress, great career," Spelling said. "And they had — it was like, literally tape stickers that they would put on her face and then tuck it behind her hair."

She added: "And I remember I didn't want to say anything, but I was like, watching intently as a young 20-year-old going, 'What is that?' And the makeup and hair stylist, they were like, 'Oh, yes. These are what, you know, big actresses do ... This is like old Hollywood, and it's very in, and it works.' And I was like, 'That's amazing. Store that one away.' So when Shan told me she used it, I was like, 'I know those.'"

So Spelling employed the trick herself at a recent party held after the Academy Awards, saying on the podcast that she asked her makeup artist if he had face tape, he did."So he put on this face tape ... they pulled my tape on one side of my neck with a string to the other side of the neck, and then you twist the string under the hair in the back to suck you back and in," Spelling said, adding that the product is available on Amazon. "Prime that s--t. It works."

Doherty died in July 2024 of breast cancer, with Spelling sharing in an earlier episode of her podcast the story of how she learned the news.

“It kept going off,” Spelling recalled. "I checked the time, and it was 7 a.m., and I knew immediately. I was I was like, 'Oh my god. Somebody's passed, somebody important has died.' And I took that moment not to go on social media. … When I pulled up Google, I saw that Shannen had passed on Saturday night, and it was shocking.”

“For everyone around the world that was going through something, whether it was cancer or any other kind of disease or ailment or connected to a hard time they were going through … they really did look to her for inspiration and power to carry on in the moments when they felt they couldn't — and I got to see that in person,” she continued. “I got to see that in person her whole life, which is beautiful.”
