USE SILVER SHAMPOO

Most of the compliments I receive on my appearance are about my thick, silver hair. I was 25 when my ‘widow’s peak’ started to turn grey and, since then, I’ve been taking special care of my hair by finding the best products for it. I use a shampoo specifically for my hair colour, L’Orรฉal Professionnel Silver Shampoo (ยฃ9.35, feelunique.com). Don’t be put off that the product comes out purple โ€” it really restores shine to grey and white hair while removing brassy, yellow tones

EAT A MODEL DIET

Having worked as a model since I was 19, I’ve always been aware of taking care of myself, especially as I’ve got older.

How to get the most health benefits from your avocado
ย Starting the day right is particularly important. I eat porridge with vitamin-rich fruit and nuts every morning and try to eat avocados regularly, too. They’re full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin. I can’t remember the last time I ate anything fried. This definitely helps me feel young.

TAKE TIME OUT AT A SPA

When you’re busy, it can be hard to find time for proper relaxation, but I think it’s key to looking and feeling young. Stress and lack of sleep can add years to your face. Once a month, I make sure to visit a spa for a head and body massage. It helps me to unwind and also gets the circulation going, which is key to younger-looking skin.

CHOOSE DRINKS WISELY

I think what you drink can have just as much effect on our bodies as what we eat. I’ve been drinking a small glass of aloe vera juice every morning for more than 25 years. It’s a miracle plant. Thanks to how soothing and cooling it is, I think it can help to ease symptoms of the menopause, such as hot flushes, and is full of vitamins and minerals to promote healthy hair. I also avoid too much tea and coffee due to the high caffeine content, which dehydrates skin.

MOISTURISE WITH OIL

If there’s one product I swear by, it’s Bio-Oil. I use it to moisturise my neck and chest โ€” despite frequent sunbathing, the skin is supple and smooth. Remember to let it absorb properly before getting dressed.
