EARLY BIRD BOTOX
I HAD Botox for the first time 15 years ago — as I was self-conscious about the deep creases in my forehead. If I hadn’t, I think they’d be worse today. I’m a firm believer in the benefits of preventative treatments to stop facial muscles creating deep wrinkles early on. Now, I top it up every six months (£500), with a non-surgical ‘Ultralift’ (£700) for an extra boost. It uses ultrasound technology to stimulate skin-firming collagen.
GET A HEALTH MOT
IT IS worth investing in your health. Every month, I visit a naturopath for a general health MOT. She gives bespoke advice on everything from probiotics for a healthy gut, to facials and vitamin IV drips that keep my skin healthy. I always come away feeling amazing after a vitamin C infusion (£150).
REAL HOLLYWOOD SMILE
OUR smile is so important: no expensive outfit or makeover is complete without it. After spending time in LA, however, I decided that I prefer a more natural look. I haven’t had my teeth whitened in eight years. Instead, I visit my dentist every three months for a scale and polish (£60) to keep them in good condition.
REFLEXOLOGY SLEEP TRICK
ONCE a week, I also get a reflexology treatment (from £100). My therapist uses a special ion machine to stimulate cell regeneration and reboot my system. I’ve always struggled with sleep, as I lead a very busy life. But this leaves me feeling vital, restored and calm — so I drift off to sleep quicker. I go more often if I need to beat jetlag.
ON TREND TRAINERS
WHEN I was younger, everything had to be designer. But now I care more about quality: how something looks and feels. I’m obsessed with trainers and wear them a lot in the day. I have a gorgeous pair of beige Nike Air Max trainers (£110) with a chunky heel, so they still feel glamorous — but I can do anything in them. The key is to pair them with something chic, like a statement coat or handbag.
