• The Huff Puff: "Here's a simple exercise for lines around the mouth. Do it while washing up. Fill the mouth with air until the cheeks are well blown out. Now let it out with short little puffs, and repeat as often as you like."

• Best moisturiser: Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief saw me survive the Irish winter; it's a life-saver on and after long-haul flights.
• Best mascara: Mac In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash gets the lashes from root to tip, defines, adds volume and extends.
• Best eye-make up remover: No 7 Beautiful Skin Eye Make-up Remover. Its super-gentle, dual-action oil and water gets all my eyeliner and mascara off. No need to remove again in the morning.
• Best body butter: Body Shop Body Butter – shea butter or rose fragrance – is rich and thick with fragrance that lingers for hours.
