‘Botox is addictive and it freshens you up. I want to grow old disgracefully!’

Allure’s stance – are all too obsessed by warding off wrinkles? Or are you all for holding back the years?

The Sunday Post speaks to two readers about their opposing views of ageing and how it affects our looks. what does Margaret say to those people who suggest we should all be happy to grow old gracefully and accept that wrinkles and a bit of sagging are part of life?

“No way,” she says. “I want to grow old disgracefully. I don’t try to pretend I’m any younger. I just want to live life to the full. I see some people my age and think they’ve let themselves go. That’s fine, but it isn’t for me.”

Margaret cares about her appearance, but isn’t swayed by the claims made by expensive “anti- ageing” lotions and potions.

“I use Nivea and other high street brands that aren’t too expensive,” she says. “I’d rather save my money for getting my hair and nails done. Although I don’t think I’d have a full facelift, I will have more Botox. And I’m never out without having my lippy on.

Margaret says if people are hesitant about having “work” done, they should do their homework and then go for it.

“I went to La Belle Forme in G la sgow because I knew people who had been there and were pleased,” she says. “I had absolutely no trouble at all and I have always been delighted. The confidence boost it gives you is just fantastic.”

Ask for her beauty idol and she picks an unsurprising one.

“Helen Mirren looks good and natural, too. That’s always been my aim. It’s not about looking frozen-faced and unnatural.”
