What I would tell my younger self

There was little information around when I was younger, relating to looking after your skin. I remember using Clearasil for spots – but that is about it.

Sun Protection to me was applied on my face, when abroad, at temperatures over 36 degrees.

All of a sudden, at a certain age, you start to look in the mirror and wonder who is looking back at you. I had a facial and the beautician was horrified that I didn’t have a skin routine, particularly at night. Not being the sort to turn to fillers or botox I started to pay attention to my skin. Luckily I could advise my own children who won’t go out the door in the morning without their SP50 on.

What I would recommend – drink water to plump out your skin and keep it clear. I have difficulty with this, particularly in the winter – but enjoy sparkling water

Think about how many pillows you use – someone told me that this can effect your neck.

Look after your decolletage in the same way as you do your face and neck

Look after your hands – don’t forget SPF on them too.

Face mask once a week or more if needed – I sleep in mine overnigh.

SPF 25 plus depending on the temperature – all weathers every day.

Take time to cleanse your face at night – replenish it and allow it to recover with a good nights sleep.

Exfoliate your face and body once a week and moisturise your body every day.
