THIS IS WHAT 51 LOOKS LIKE

MAGIC E45 CREAM
MY FAVOURITE moisturiser is E45 Cream (€3.74, boots.ie). I’ve been using it since I was a child, as both my parents swore by it for dry skin. I have since tried pricier products, but always end up going back. I also add it into my foundation, to create a dewy base that looks less heavy and smooths fine lines. Plus, you can mix a few drops of lavender oil in to help calm redness.
BLITZ EYE BAGS
I’M obsessed with the new Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Liquid Concealer (€30, charlottetilbury.com). It has a super precise application sponge, which gives amazing coverage. I use it to cover pigmentation from sun damage and dark circles under my eyes — which I get when travelling to LA for work. I’ve even caught my fiancé stealing it out of my handbag!
CRYSTALS FOR CALM
IT’S important to look after your wellbeing. My mother was spiritual and taught me to use crystals as a way to calm and centre myself. I always keep one close to me, which I can hold in times of stress. I wear an amethyst around my neck to remind me to stay positive, as well as a rose quartz bracelet, to re-balance my emotions. Plus, I drink my water out of a beautiful bottle with a crystal inside it.
LIFE-CHANGING HRT
I STARTED the menopause two years ago. The hot flushes, sleepless nights and mood swings affected me badly — my tolerance levels dropped dramatically. So, three months ago, my doctor recommended I try HRT and I’ve noticed such a difference already! I finally feel like myself again.
TRY AQUA AEROBICS
SINCE turning 50, I’ve found it harder to stay in shape. But I have arthritis, so can’t do weight training or anything too strenuous. Instead, I do lowimpact workouts, such as aqua aerobics, to keep my joints supple. It’s great fun, as I go with a friend, and surprisingly hardcore: my entire body aches afterwards. I got into it two years ago and it’s helped to add definition to my legs, bum and stomach.
