YES, I USE BOTOX
A KEY part of my beauty routine is Botox, which I’ve been getting twice a year for the past five. It works wonders to beat the frown and laughter lines around my eyes. No one ever suspects — I’m just always told I look ‘well’!
HOT FACIALS
MY FAVOURITE beauty treatment is the 3D Lipomed Radio Frequency facial. It uses a warm grill device to deliver heat to the skin, in order to stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration. It’s given me such a healthy glow and I now top it up with another session every month. Available at 3d-lipo.co.uk.
TAN LIKE A PRO
I’M OFTEN asked if I’ve been away on holiday and when I say no, people want to know my bronzing secret! I apply ridiculously cheap Creightons Bronze Ambition Fake Don’t Bake (£1 for 100ml, wilko.com) every three days. For a smooth, natural finish, I exfoliate beforehand and use cotton buds to wipe away any excess colour.
ALMOND POWER
EVERY morning I drink 25 per cent almond milk: it is rich in vitamin E, which is crucial for healthy skin. I also use it to make my own DIY face masks, as it gives me a gorgeous, healthy glow. I mix it with honey, which is naturally anti-bacterial, and great for fighting inflammation and reducing redness.
BEAUTY SLEEP
ITS SO important to get enough sleep. It used to take me three hours to drift off every night. It is terribly ageing! The best trick I’ve found is to listen to an audio tape of a book I’ve already read. I don’t have to concentrate too hard, but it’s a lovely, comforting way to nod off. I’ve been doing it for two years and it only takes me half an hour to drift off.
