“I made a lot of beauty mistakes when I was younger.”

Trinny Woodall has made “a lot” of beauty mistakes over the years.

The 59-year-old hairstylist, who launched her own Trinny Beauty line in 2017, used to put on fake tan to hide her acne and suffered sun damage as a result of sunbathing outdoors to get a natural glow.

Speaking to Woman and Home magazine, she said: “I made a lot of beauty mistakes when I was younger. When I had a lot of acne, I compensated by wearing a lot of fake tan. I also exposed myself to the sun, so I suffered sun damage.”

The former ‘What Not To Wear’ star turned to laser treatment to help correct the scars on her skin.

And Trinny is happy to openly discuss the “tweaks” she has undergone to her appearance, including fillers in her face so she doesn’t look “skeletal” and regular Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles.

She added: “You have to be open about the touch-ups you’ve had. I get Botox twice a year.

“I had a CO2 laser for acne scars and sun damage, and some filler in my temple because when you get older, you can look skeletal.”

According to Trinny, prevention is key to slowing down the clock and addressing signs of aging before they appear.

She said: “I think it’s all about balancing what will help you not develop more lines, versus skin texture and maintaining a good skincare regime.” “Everyone should follow five basic skincare steps, including cleansing and moisturising. Cleanse your skin, exfoliate with a liquid scrub. I love my Trinny London scrubs. Use an antioxidant, a retinoid and SPF.”
