SOLO SPA SESSION

EVERY fortnight, I spend an hour at the spa in my local David Lloyd club. I love the relaxation room, which has low lighting and foam beds — I often fall asleep there! Afterwards, I sit in the steam and sauna rooms with an Elemis Fruit Active Rejuvenating Mask on my face (£28.80, amazon.co.uk). It uses strawberry and kiwi extracts to hydrate skin. I end with the icy dipping pool and Jacuzzi. This stops me taking other people’s stresses home from work.

MULTI-TASKING SPF

MY MUM taught me never to go out without first applying moisturiser. I wear Obagi Medical Sun Shield Tint SPF 50 (£64, crewehairandskinclinic.uk). A friend recommended it to help with sun spots. It’s worth investing in quality UV protection, and this lasts all year. I wear it instead of foundation as it’s tinted.

BLAZE FITNESS CLASS

RECENTLY, I’ve found it harder to stay in shape, especially around my stomach, so now I do five exercise classes per week. My favourites are HIIT (high-intensity interval training), where you do 30 seconds on, then 30 seconds off; and Blaze, where the aim is to hit the ‘red zone’. You have to wear a heart-rate monitor to track your progress, and the results are put up on a screen in front of everyone — which is great motivation.

LIFE-CHANGING HRT

LAST year, I went on HRT after reading an interview with Carol Vorderman, who spoke about how it helped ease her menopause symptoms: mood swings and sleeplessness. Before this, I’d struggled with natural methods and had a breakdown because I wasn’t sleeping. Now I use an oestrogen patch — and I’ve never felt better. Within a week, I had more energy, a boosted libido and no hot flushes. I feel like I’m 30 again!

MOBILE BEAUTY THERAPY

ONCE a month, I have an amazing beauty therapist come to my house. She starts with an ESPA facial (£30) — I’ve had these regularly since I was 19 — then I get a back massage and Indian head massage (both £40), plus aromatherapy (£40) to de-stress. It all takes two hours. Do you look good for your age? Reveal your secrets to: inspire@dailymail.co.uk
