A 75-YEAR-OLD model who’s never had Botox has revealed the £2 Temu buy she swears by to stay looking young.
Penelope Tree first made a name for herself in the 1960s, and has enjoyed a resurgence of success in recent years – walking the runway for Fendi and Richard Quinn and appearing in a star-studded ad campaign to mark Zara’s 50th anniversary.
And while she used to be “obsessed” with her appearance when she was younger, she’s now “more interested in what’s going on” around her.
She’s also “not trying to prove anything” by undergoing cosmetic procedures to maintain a flawless facade.
“You just have to accept the inevitability of ageing. I don’t really see what’s wrong with it!” she told the MailOnline.
“And I don’t like hospitals or the idea of being fiddled with in a surgical way.
“Also, repeated plastic surgery does tend to make people look like replicants (bioengineered humanoids).”
Instead, she prefers a more natural way of reducing the look of her wrinkles – anti-ageing face tapes.
The adhesive tapes have threads attached, which can be pulled and secured discreetly around the head to make the face look more taut.
And they won’t set you back anywhere near as much as Botox either, as you can pick them up for just £2 on Temu .
Other celebrities who use the tapes include Joan Collins and Bella Hadid.
She’s also a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream and Trinny London’s The Elevator cream.
“In my 20s my currency was my beauty,” Penelope continued.
“Now my currency is being alive, interested and curious.
“I just leave it to the hairdressers and the make-up artists to make me look as good as I can, which isn’t easy!”
As for her fashion sense, Penelope loves “statement jewellery”, which said makes older people “look fabulous”.
And she loves shopping at the “affordable and fabulous” Zara.
“I wear an orange Zara suit every summer and it’s the most complimented outfit I’ve ever worn in my life!” she admitted.
How is celery juice an anti-ageing potion?
Celery juice is packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, which combat free radicals that cause cellular damage and aging.
Its high water content keeps your skin hydrated and plump, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
The anti-inflammatory compounds in celery, such as apigenin and luteolin, help reduce chronic inflammation linked to ageing.
Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin K and potassium, celery juice supports overall skin health and body functions.
Drinking celery juice regularly can complement a balanced diet and skincare routine, promoting a youthful glow from within.
But while she’s happy to save money on the majority of her wardrobe, there’s one thing she’ll always splash out on – and that’s denim.
“If there’s one thing I have learnt as I have aged, it’s to spend money on jeans,” she said, adding that she’s had the same pair for three years and insisting they’re “good as new”.
