It's hardly news that the older we get, the more effort goes into looking our best - but there are some secrets (and products) that make the task easier: The authors of a new anti-ageing bible enlighten Sarah Halliwell.
It's only as we get older that we realise how effortless it was to be young. As the dewy skin and shiny hair of our twenties become a distant memory, looking our best involves rather more effort - and a whole lot more face cream. So how can we embrace the oncoming years with style?
With years of beauty journalism and a hefty pile of bestselling books under their respective belts, Josephine Fairley and Sarah Stacey, authors of The Anti-Ageing Beauty Bible, are the people to ask.
With a joint age of over 112 (though you'd never guess to look at them), they've applied their experience and common sense to the ageing process.
The book features a massive range of products, from low-cost lipsticks to big-bucks creams.
Some products will be familiar ... Others may surprise you. The highest-scoring product ever trialled in 15 years of the Beauty Bible testing is Nude Replenishing Night Oil, from our own Bryan Meehan and Ali Hewson's range of natural skincare.
