This week on the podcast, I’m joined by award winning (no less) beauty editor Donna Francis, who brings her expert advice on how to glow with confidence in midlife without the use of fillers or botox. She shares her go-to products for achieving a radiant, youthful look and how to use them effectively. From skincare must-haves to makeup techniques that truly work, Donna offers practical, no-fuss tips to help you enhance your natural beauty at any age.

You'll find the links to her recommended products below.

But that's not all - Donna opens up about her personal journey, including why she doesn't have botox or fillers and why chose to stop drinking and the surprising effects she’s experienced since making that change. She believes that understanding the impact of alcohol on our skin and overall well-being is a well kept secret that more of us need to know about.

Join us for an honest conversation with lots of thoughtful and practical advice.

Donna advocates that midlife is a time to celebrate oneself, experiment with new looks, and find a personalised beauty routine that makes you feel your best.

Whether you're interested in Jackie's skincare line or just looking for practical advice on how to approach midlife skin changes, I believe you'll leave with tips to help your skin glow and feel more comfortable.

Some of my favourites from Made of More, are the Night Soufflé and Rescue Balm — I highly recommend them!
