‘I have Botox and fillers to look my best’

I am a believer in embracing things that help us age better. I started having Botox in 2005 when I began getting the family frown. It was during the menopause and I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror – I was ageing before my own eyes.

Since then, I have raised my game. I have regular Botox and fillers as well as dyeing my hair and I honestly haven’t looked back. It’s important that it looks natural, though.

I work as a financial adviser and I’m one of the oldest women there, so looking the best version of myself is vital. I’ve always loved dressing well and being one of the oldest partners makes me feel under pressure from within to look more youthful.

To be in the right zone and give people a reason to trust me with their financial decisions, I have to look the part. For me it’s all about maintenance and subtle enhancements.

Ageing can be cruel for women and if you work in an environment with lots of younger people, it’s understandable to want a bit of help with your looks. At a recent event I bumped into a woman I know in her 50s who had gone completely grey since the last time I saw her. She looked so old. Some people look great when they’ve gone grey, but I equate greys with age. My mother is in her 80s and still dyes her hair.

If you’ve got great legs and a good figure you should wear what you want. Life is not over when you hit your 60s.
