1. How old are you? I've just turned 40

2. How do you feel about getting older? Sometimes I wish I could be a fresh-faced 20-something again, but then if I was back in my 20s I'd be back in the days of proving myself professionally, finding my other half, wondering if I'd have children, be sufficiently self-aware enough to not stand up for myself and what I believe in. At 40 I'm proud to say I've achieved what I wanted, when I wanted, can stand up for myself and I'm in good health, so hopefully I've got another happy and healthy 40+ years to look forward to! Probably the only "negative" I'm conscious of is that, being an older mum, I want to be as fit and healthy as I can be in order to live as long as possible to see my kids have kids (hopefully!).

3. Have you noticed your face starting to age? When did you start noticing? Yes, to me my skin no longer has that "fresh" look about it, but I'm happy to report that (thanks to having had an oil-prone skin all these years), I don't have any wrinkles Apparently some were surprised I was turning 40, so apparently I don't look it (instead I'll look 39 forever LOL).

4. Do you have a specific skin care routine? If so, does that change as you age? No, for me it's stayed the same for the past 20-odd years. Cleanse at night, occasional exfoliant, and sometimes moisturise at night, plus moisturiser with inbuilt SPF every day. I wear a hat if I'm out in the sun for any length of time (I'm more conscious of that nowdays). I love having a proper facial, and pre-kids I'd have regular facials but these days I'm lucky if I get one or two a year (more's the pity ...).
