TRY A THREAD LIFT

I’VE never wanted cosmetic surgery — but also don’t believe in ageing gracefully! We do need a little help, especially around the eyes. So, I tried a ‘British Eye Lift’ (£3,900, drgabriela.

co.uk). It’s an amazing non-surgical procedure which uses Blepharoplasty to remove sagging skin and threads to lift the eyes. The downtime is five days. I’m so much happier and enjoy applying make-up now.

CELLULITE BUSTER

I’M LUCKY enough not to have much cellulite. The trick is dry body brushing, which I’ve been doing daily for 20 years. It improves skin tone by boosting circulation and buffing away dead skin. I do it for five minutes before a shower, using Cowshed’s Walnut Wood Dry Skin Brush (£16,

THE NEW FACIAL

LOOK after your skin — it’s the one thing you’ll wear for ever! My grandmother taught me to do facial exercises every day, to work out the muscles. I also get a 60-minute micro needling treatment, every six weeks. This boosts collagen production by pricking tiny holes in the skin. I find it more effective than a facial.

BOOST YOUR SMILE

A SMILE is the most beautiful thing a woman can wear. I used to have good lips, but they’ve drooped with age. I was initially scared that fillers would look unnatural: but, they don’t, if you get them subtly in the corners. I do this every 18 months and add volume with Chantecaille’s plumping Lip Chic (£32, spacenk.com).

MID-LIFE SUPERWOMAN

WHILE I am menopausal, I can’t take HRT for health reasons. Instead, I take Lumity vitamin supplements (£90,

lumitylife.co.uk): three in the morning and at night, to boost my energy and help me sleep. I’m now working more hours than in my 20s and 30s; I have a busy social life with people of all ages and am happier than ever. Beauty comes from within!
