My skin looks so good people are shocked when I tell them I'm 70 – it's thanks to a posh cream I've been using since 40
This comes as beauty fans have been raving about the stuff online, with one even claiming it's turned the clock back decades.

The Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex would normally cost £40, but it's available for just £15 right now on Amazon.
And if 60 percent off wasn't tempting enough, the results speak for themselves.
"This classic formula cushions skin with moisture and provides an occlusive barrier to prevent moisture loss," the description online notes.
Ingredients like plant-based squalene help to "restore smoothness and radiance" while also moisturising for "softer, smoother skin."
Not only that, but the cream is perfect for helping with texture and clarity - and perhaps most importantly, the appearance of fine lines.
Impressively, the products has an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five on the Elizabeth Arden website too.
One beauty lover said: "I've been using this for 30 years and is the very best for my sensitive skin. I am 70 and my skin looks very good."
A second was also surprised by how effective it was, she said: "The cream makes my black skin feel hydrated and smooth for the whole day.
"I have an oily complexion - it's visible and dermatologists have confirmed it - but with this cream my skin is not greasy and not shiny. So far it works."
And someone else claimed the cream helped them avoid wrinkles.
They said: "I am 64 years old and have been using this since I was 20 years old. Hardly any wrinkles and still love using this. Hope I never have to change....Please keep selling this wonderful product."
The cream is also perfect for sensitive skin, according to another shop who said: "Bought from the airport as an impulse purchase, glad I did as I have used it every day and wouldn't be without it.
"I have very dry very sensitive skin sometimes with eczema and it has not caused any irritation and has greatly improved my skin texture and redness. Will repurchase."
More anti-ageing tips and tricks
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King and Curel adviser shared her top tips to reverse the signs of aging - and they're all free.
She previously debunked four common skincare myths, including one that Jennifer Lopez herself swears by.
NO SWEET TOOTH
Her first free method was to decrease sugar intake and other refined carbs.
Dr. King said that almost eliminating both will "decrease aging of the skin."
Eating lots of sugar ultimately causes the collagen and elastin fibers to lose their strength and flexibility, contributing to skin aging.
Dr. King also encouraged people to amp up their fitness regimen.
SUN SMART
Dr. King challenged readers to "commit to daily sun smart behavior" because "much of the sun damage that accumulates in our skin is the result of daily incidental sun exposure."
Avoid peak UV hours, seek shade, and wear UV-protective clothing.
Some examples she offered were a broad-brimmed hat, UV-shielding sunglasses, and topical SPF for all exposed areas.
SLEEP SOLUTION
One of the most important pieces of advice Dr. King suggested was getting enough sleep.
Not getting enough shut-eye per night can result in "stress [on] the body," according to the expert
"Getting too little sleep has been shown to negatively affect the skin's appearance," she said.
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.'
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.

Vets issue tips for keeping pets cool during UK heatwave
It's time to soak up the sun once more in the UK (while wearing the best SPF, of course), as the fourth heatwave of summer 2025 is here. While many of us are rushing to buy one of the best fans – including portable devices – air conditioning units and even wearable air conditioners to help us beat the heat, what about our pets? When temperatures soar, our four-legged friends feel it the most. 'Too much sun or heat can be extremely dangerous for our canine companions, especially for flat-faced breeds and overweight dogs, who find it more difficult to cool themselves down', PDSA veterinary nurse Nina Downing told The Independent. 'Older dogs and those with ongoing health problems may also find it more difficult to manage their body temperature.' During a heatwave, skipping your daily walk may be the safest option. 'Walk or play in the early morning and later in the evening; missing a walk is less dangerous than exercising when it's too hot,' advises Anna Ewers Clark, vet and veterinary standards lead at Blue Cross. 'Check the pavement before letting your pet walk on it- hot pavement can burn paws.' 'Never leave them in a car, conservatory or any room that gets heated quickly in the sun – these can get dangerously hot in minutes,' Clark adds. It's important to know the signs of heatstroke in your dog, which can include increased or noisy panting, drooling, vomiting or diarrhea, and being wobbly on their feet. 'If you notice any of these signs, offer your dog some water to drink, cool them down straight away by pouring cool water over their body and call your vet immediately,' Downing advises. Beyond ensuring your pet has access to shady areas and plenty of water, there are plenty more things you can do to alleviate the heat. Pup-friendly sunscreen can protect exposed snouts and paddling pools can provide sweet relief, while innovative solutions like cooling mats or jackets can keep animals chill. With the heatwave here, we've rounded up the simple things you can do to keep your pets cool – plus, the products to buy, according to experts. Sunscreen 'When it's sunny, remember that you can apply pet-safe suncream to pink noses and areas of exposed skin to prevent sunburn,' Downing says. 'Choose a sun cream that is pet safe SPF30 or higher, and waterproof.' This Noseprint SPF 30 (£15.99, is designed for dogs, cats, horses and other animals. It's got a non-toxic formula, meaning it doesn't contain zinc oxide, which is harmful to pets. Or, try this Dermoscent sunfree for dogs and cats (£16.45, which is waterproof and fragrance-free. Sunscreen is particularly important 'for light coloured pets or on areas with little fur such as the nose, ears and belly,' Clark says. Cooling mats Downing also advises that you place an ice pack wrapped in a towel in your pet's bed to keep it, and them, cool. 'You could also consider laying down a wet towel or cooling mat.' This Rosewood checkered mat (£12, fits the bill. It's activated by weight or pressure from your pup, with the pad remaining cooler than the surroundings for between three to four hours. Or, Clever Paw's cooling mat (from £3.99, comes in three different sizes for various breeds. 'Always supervise your dog to ensure they don't chew the ice pack or cooling mat, as the contents can be harmful,' Downing recommends. Clark also notes that 'mats will warm up to body temperature after a while,' so they aren't an all-day solution. Paddling pools 'There are a lot of fun and inventive things that you can do to help keep your dog comfortable on a hot day,' Downing continues. 'Filling a shallow paddling pool or washing up bowl with cold water can give your dog a much-needed chance to cool their paws.' This Crufs medium-size pool (£14.99, is foldable and portable with a reinforced wall, while Pet's At Home's pool (£20, pops up in seconds with no inflating needed. Alternatively, this mat (£10, features fun sprinklers to entertain pets while keeping them cool. Treats 'Advice circulates on social media every summer claiming that the cold temperature of ice cubes can trigger a pet's heat-regulating system, which results in their body warming up – however, this is untrue,' Downing explains. 'As long as your pet is healthy, providing a few ice cubes to play with or in their water bowl is a great way to cool them down.' All you need is a reusable ice cube tray (£8.98, for the freezer. If your pet is small or is prone to eating quickly, you could shave the ice. 'Have a go at making some frozen dog treats to keep your pooch cool,' suggests Lauren Bennett expert in dog welfare at the RSPCA. Using an ice cube tray, you can freeze bananas, apples or celery. 'Use cold treats from the fridge for added moisture or make an ice lolly for your dog from pet-friendly ingredients,' Bennett adds. Alternatively, you could buy Jude's ice cream for dogs (£3.50, Grooming 'Grooming will also help your dog to regulate their temperature, especially if they have long or thick hair,' says Downing. 'Although dogs don't sweat through their skin like humans, a tangle-free coat will allow your dog's skin to breathe better.' With that in mind, this de-shedder groomer tool (£23, will safely remove undercoat fur and is available in various widths to fit pets of different sizes and fur lengths.

It's another example of how we're using innovation to improve outcomes and quality of life in the heart of the community.' Professor Soumen Sengupta said: "Our digital initiatives are not just about deploying technology, they are about changing lives. "By harnessing digital tools in a thoughtful and person-centred way, we are equipping individuals with greater control over their health and wellbeing, helping them to recover faster, stay well for longer, and remain connected to their communities." Lesley McDonald, integration joint board vice chair, said: "The innovation we are showcasing at Blantyre LIFE reflects our commitment to transforming how care is delivered, shifting away from reactive models to more proactive, preventative support."

I have the biggest hernia doctors have ever seen – but they say surgery to remove it will kill me
SAMANTHA Jackson is living with the "biggest hernia doctors have ever seen" but will die if she has surgery to fix it. The 56-year-old mum-of-one from Hinckley, Leics, first developed the condition in 2008 after severe stomach pain left her unable to push a shopping trolley. 4 4 "It was much smaller then," Samantha said. "And the doctor was able to just push it back in with his fingers.' A hernia is when an internal part of the body pushes through the muscle or surrounding tissues. They usually occur between the chest and hips and can cause no or few symptoms in many cases. Sometimes a lump can appear on the outside of the body, like in Samantha's case. Not all hernias require surgery to fix. But sudden severe pain, being sick and difficulty pooing can all be signs that blood supply to a section of organ has been cut off, which can be deadly. Over the years Samantha's lump grew. By 2011, she was booked for surgery but doctors cancelled, saying she was overweight and her blood pressure was too high. She said: 'I was put on medication to bring my blood pressure down but after that I started suffering very badly mentally and I didn't have the energy to chase follow-up appointments all the time. "I stopped leaving the house and became housebound. Then, I had carers sent in, but still nothing happened.' Samantha struggled with her mental health and lost the energy to keep chasing GPs for follow-ups. 'I just feel so lost' It was not until 2021 that she finally secured another appointment with a surgeon, but he told her the hernia was too big to operate on and referred her elsewhere. She said: 'I had another appointment for an operation but the surgeon told me he couldn't operate on a hernia of that size. 'So he referred me to another surgeon. I saw that one this January and he said it was too late. "He said if he operated now it would kill me, because the hernia has forced my organs down.' She has now been told by three different surgeons that her case is the biggest hernia they have ever seen. Samantha said: 'I just feel so lost. I don't know what to do with my life. I've become housebound and I feel like I am just sitting here and waiting and going crazy. 4 4 "I want to work, I want to have things to do. My mind is so active. But I can't. I don't see a future. It's all an absolute nightmare.' Samantha believed her life would be very different if she had been treated earlier. She said: 'If they had operated at the first chance, I would have been 39, and everything would have been a lot safer. "Now I'm heavier than I've ever been and I'm getting more and more immobile. It's much more dangerous.' The hernia has left her unable to work and she now survives on disability benefits. 'All I do is sit here' She said: 'I'm 56. My mind is so active. I'm desperate to work, I've taught myself how to build a website and set up a company, but I just can't do anything. 'I struggle to get dressed. I can't go to a restaurant because the hernia is too big for me to sit at the table. 'Nowadays, it's more uncomfortable than painful. But the painful thing is that I just don't know what to do with my life. 'My mum lived in Spain and I couldn't even travel to see her before she died. 'All I do is sit here and see a carer. There's nothing in my life. 'I just want to have a life.'
