ULTIMATE DETOX
IT IS my belief that you are what you eat — and you look like what you eat. I follow a healthy, balanced diet but also get an IV Vitamin Drip treatment at HB Health (hbhealth.com) to cleanse and detoxify my system every fortnight. My favourite is the AntiAgeing Infusion (£65 each), which contains glutathione and vitamin D. It has really increased my energy and even helped to smooth my wrinkles.
WINTER SKIN SAVIOUR
DRY skin runs in my family — and gets worse in cold weather. So, in winter, I bathe for 30 minutes, weekly, in Oilatum Bath Formula for Dry Skin (£8.99, Boots). I then rub Eucerin Dry Skin Intensive Lotion (£13.50, Boots) all over — and if I need an extra fix, also apply it like a face mask, which I leave on overnight. When I wake up, my skin is super hydrated.
GET PERFECT PINS
MY LEGS still look young. I put this down to trampolining, which I started four years ago and do every morning for half an hour. It is the best workout for fiftysomethings: it tones your legs, trims the waist and helps with posture — all without putting pressure on joints. Plus, it is portable. I take my mini trampoline on holiday with me, in the car, twice a year.
TRY A THREAD LIFT
I’VE had bad experiences with Botox and fillers — I hated the frozen look. But when I turned 50, I wanted a confidence boost. A friend suggested a PDO Thread Lift, so I thought, ‘Why not?’ The treatment uses organic threads to stimulate collagen longterm. I had it done on my jaw and neck. I’m so happy with the results, which look deceptively natural.
CUSTOMISE SLEEVES
I LOVE to customise clothes. A longer sleeve is especially useful to hide the skin on my arms, which sags, no matter how much exercise I do. So, if I find a perfectly shaped dress, but the sleeves aren’t right, I will not hesitate to remove and replace them — even if it’s by Amanda Wakeley.
