FAT-FREEZING

Even though I exercise every day, and try to be healthy, I think our metabolic rate slows down as we age. I had fat on my stomach that I found hard to get rid of, so I had a fat- freezing CoolSculpting treatment. A gel pad and suction applicator is used on specific areas for 35 minutes and, when it is removed, it leaves the fat under the skin looking like a block of butter, which is then massaged away as the fat cells are killed off.

BLOW-DRIES AND NO GREYS 

I get my hair blow-dried twice a week — it’s even gym-proof! I get hair treatments once a week and have just started having Hair Filler. It’s a powder, which you mix in with whatever treatment you’re getting (From £60 https://www.salonsloane.com/). I add it to the Sisley hair mask (£71, net-a-porter.com). I dye it every three weeks — I can’t bear any grey!

INVESTMENT PIECES 

I’ll buy one big-ticket clothing item that lasts me years and then top it up with items from the High Street. I buy a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes every season, and I’ve bought Hermes bags all my life. I have one that’s 25 years old. ‘Jeans and a nice top’ is my style.

GOLDEN TOUCH

If I wake up with good skin then, no matter what hits me during the day, I feel good. I have facials every five to six weeks, as well as other aesthetic treatments. I had an Aqua Gold Fine Touch facial three weeks ago (mallucci-london.com), where micro doses of Botox, vitamins and hyaluronic acid are injected into your skin with a 24-carat gold needle — leaving your face plumper.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

I need eight hours’ sleep a night and, if I don’t get it, I’ll catch up at the weekend. I like to be in bed by 10 to 10.30pm, as I get up at 6.30am to go to the gym (kxu.co.uk). I know if I only get seven hours, I’ll start to feel tired, so I won’t go out three nights in a row.
