"All natural, all good for you products, working on your beauty from the inside out. The team have worked so hard on creating products that truly work on our 'Beauty from within'. This really sits well w/ my thoughts on looking after yourself as naturally as possible, as it’s all about balancing the mind, body, and soul to achieve a natural beauty that will last a lifetime."
Speaking to HELLO! in this week's issue, she said: "I don't really have any fillers or Botox or anything like that. I've always looked after my skin since a very young age.
