I’ve found a skin cream that beats Botox, says Ruby Wax

FROM anti-wrinkle injections to laser resurfacing treatment, there’s no end of cosmetic surgery procedures to banish the effects of ageing.

But Ruby Wax claims to have found an age-defying product that stands above the rest – and, apparently, it’s even better than Botox. The comic admitted she turned to Botox to keep the wrinkles at bay, but now relies on La Prairie cream, which costs £150. Botox can cost up to £350 per session.

Miss Wax, 64, said: ‘I use La Prairie to give my skin a bit of a glow. I have had Botox in the past. Then I was told about La Prairie and I haven’t had Botox for a couple of years now. We all age and if you want to look after yourself as you get older, I recommend La Prairie and meditation.’

US-born Miss Wax, a mother of three, also recommended keeping an active sex life and gardening. She said: ‘Meditation keeps you young because it brings down the stress hormone, cortisol. But saying that, don’t beat yourself up if meditation’s not your thing. Garden. Or have a lot of sex. Do anything to reduce the stress hormone. Figure out what brings your stress levels down.’

Dozens of stars have praised Swiss brand La Prairie, including Angelina Jolie, Mick Jagger and the Beckhams. David even revealed he stole the La Prairie Cellular Time Release Moisturiser Intensive, which costs up to £148 for a 30ml pot, from Victoria.
