Sarcastic, wrong - and smacking of the green-eyed monster.
It has long been established that she's never had any cosmetic surgery.
On a one-to-one with Michael Parkinson she started bare-faced and applied her makeup as they spoke. She invited him to examine her hairline and behind her ears to look for stitch scars.
He did. There weren't any. (Available on YouTube).
There's simple reasons why she looks so good and the main thing is to ALWAYS keep your face out of the sun and to wear big hats even under beach and pool umbrellas.
She also always wears full make-up whenever she is outdoors.
I have followed the same regime since a late teenager and it is the only thing that really works. Most people presume (visually, if not athletically!) that I'm at least 20-years younger than I am. I NEVER tell them differently! My skin a fabulous with no lines or bags.
Joan swears by:
# Nivea 2-in-1 Face Cleanser and Tonic;
# Charlotte Tilbury Night Cream
(she says it avoids needing Botox);
and
# Vaseline as a barrier.
None particularly expensive.
For my part it has always been Olay (then Ulay) - first the Milk, now Regenerist.
Always full makeup.
Always a wide brimmed hat (throughout the year)
And a good hairdresser and hair colouring helps (Joan always wears wigs outdoors).
All thanks to my Nana who told me when I was 18 that - 'the time to start looking after your face is when you're young not when you get old' (she always used Ponds Vanishing Cream).
Joan is Joan. What you see is what you get.
