We’re used to seeing them look great, but do you know how they get their glow?
LOOSE WOMEN
When you’re beamed into the nation’s living rooms each day, it’s natural that you’d want to look your best. So who better to look to for anti-ageing secrets than the Loose Women ladies. Here, we disclose their best tips and tricks…

Ruth Langsford
Telly queen Ruth’s first defence against signs of ageing is moisturiser. The 62-year-old mum of one explains, ‘I always moisturise my elbows and hands each night before bed.
