THIS IS WHAT 54 LOOKS LIKE

ANN-LOUISE HOLLAND is single. After working in PR for 30 years, she set up her own supplement brand, Kansha Alchemy.

OUTDOOR YOGA

LAST December, I moved to the country and am now able to walk in the fresh air every day. Three times a week, I use the free BorrowMyDoggy app, where you can walk other people’s dogs. I also do yoga in the garden every other day. Yoga is my lifeline: it keeps me strong, flexible and sane!

FIGHT THINNING HAIR

AT 40, I was diagnosed with a form of alopecia caused by poor diet. It got worse after breaking up from my long-term partner in 2012. I felt like no one would look at me again! I tried lots of expensive treatments, but nothing worked. So I created my own Good Hair supplements, using herbs, minerals and nutrients, with no synthetic fillers. My hair is now thicker and grows faster, too.

TRY ‘BEDITATION’

EVERY morning, I spend a few minutes meditating in bed. I call it ‘beditation’! I love Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey’s free 21-day meditation experience (chopracentermeditation.com). It includes a ten-day guided meditation, plus a positive mantra to repeat each day. It has helped me to reprogramme negative self-talk. And I sleep like a log.

HOMEOPATHIC SKINCARE

MY FAVOURITE moisturiser is Seven Cream (€16.55, helios.co.uk), a homeopathic cream that soothes dry skin. I apply it at night and my skin heals better, is plumper, softer and looks more vibrant. During the day, I wear Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream (€25.45, lookfantastic. com), which is lighter.

LONG-LASTING COVERAGE

MY SKIN is sallow, so I wear make-up every day. I love Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser (€31.45), which gives long-lasting, sheer coverage, and finish with Perricone MD No Makeup Skincare Blush (€32.95, both lookfantastic.com), a subtle liquid blush which I put on my cheeks.
