“The treatment I would still save for is London facialist Vaishaly. Her signature facial with cranial work has stayed in my memory bank. While there, I asked Vaishaly what the next step for me might be. She said the injectable Profhilo.

“It injects water and hydration into the skin at the highest level,” she said. “We inject superficially, five points on each side of the face in specific areas to restore lift and volume.” I winced in fear; clearly I’m just not there – yet.

And, in the spirit of every action having a reaction, as 2025 draws to a close I do see a smidgen of light on the horizon in response to all this overt anti-ageing.

Not just in the form of Brown, but also Keira Knightley in the Waitrose Christmas advert (Shock! Horror! Her face moves!).”
