PRESS UPDATE : MOTHERING SUNDAY ADVICE IN HER OWN WORDS! .. MARCH 4TH 2016

Celebrating Mum on Mothering Sunday is a given, but what's the best advice your mum has ever given you? Dame Joan Collins shares her Mother's own words..

By Gemma Aldridge..

Joan Collins has mum Elsa to thank for her healthy eating knowledge: “My mother was a gentle and soft, but when it came to her children’s eating habits she was a real toughie.

"To Elsa Collins, proper nourishment for her family was of paramount importance. She would always stress the absolute necessity for us to eat three portions of vegetables a day.

"And since fruit was so rare in those austerity years, a spoonful of cod-liver oil (which was horrid) was followed by something sticky called Virol.

"Sweets before dinner were out of the question, and we had to finish all our greens. But I believe her strict rules are the reason I've always been in good health (touch wood).

"So thank you, Mummie, for such great advice – and wouldn’t you have loved to see that modern science has thankfully improved on the taste of cod-liver oil.."

Joan Collins Shares Her Best Beauty Secrets

Post on: February 24, 2016

Dame Joan Collins still makes time to look elegant and beautiful…She reveals her surprisingly simple, yet best beauty secrets here.

 “Don’t blow-dry your hair – it’s the worst thing you can do. 

I have very fine hair, and if I’m not wearing a wig, I like to put a few rollers in, let it dry naturally, then brush it out. But I like to have big hair, so I wear hairpieces and wigs. I know that people still turn their noses up at them, but lots of pop stars and actresses wear them.”

“Keep out of the sun. I’ve been wearing sun protection, sunglasses and a big hat for years.”

“Always wear moisturiser, and take off your make-up at night.”

“Try not to get too stressed because it shows in your complexion!”

“I either wear a lot of eye make-up, or none at all. But I’ve always favoured a smoky eye – a look I invented when I starred in The Stud and The Bitch.”

“Keep your eyebrow pencils as sharp as a pin.” Defining your eyes is key to looking good.

“Stay in shape and eat well. I have a personal trainer, and think I could still do the splits if
I limbered up and stretched every day.”
