‘I learned from my nutritional doctor Dr Simone Laubscher PHD, that the outer or top layer of our skin comprises tightly-packed dead skin cells which are constantly shed throughout the day,’ she told the publication.

‘During deep sleep, the skin’s metabolic rate speeds up, which helps with repair. Whether it’s damage from factors such as ultraviolet rays or internal toxic overload from too many late nights, we really do need our “beauty sleep”.’ What are Elle Macpherson’s six steps to a perfect night’s sleep? 1. Get fresh air every single day.

2. Use a sauna and steam for increased flexibility, reduced pain and stress AND IMPROVED CIRCULATION.

3. Eat dinner by 6pm every day.

4. Brew a pot of calming tea and enjoy an hour before bed.
