Trinny Woodall’s £5.99 facial gadget she swears by to look age-defying at 60 & the free self-massage technique she loves

BRITISH beauty and fashion icon Trinny Woodall has given away her top tricks and tips for keeping her skin looking youthful and vibrant.

And shockingly, she’s thanked a £5.99 facial gadget for her staggeringly supple skin.

The entrepreneur, businesswoman, and founder and CEO of Trinny London says she ‘hates’ the term anti-ageing.

She insists that the self-care she carries out is to ‘generate a feeling of vitality’ and says that ‘after all, the goal is to feel great about yourself’.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Trinny revealed she uses a super cheap facial gadget four times a week to de-puff her skin: “If my face feels puffy, I’ll do cupping with a silicone facial cupping set (£5.99, amazon.co.uk).

“It’s the cheapest gadget out there that will make a difference in just a couple of minutes.

“It sticks to the face using suction and you glide it over your serum to drain away any excess fluid.”

Facial cupping has become extremely popular amongst those looking to maintain a lifted and tight face and décolletage.

The cups create suction to pull fluid into the skin, stimulating blood flow and promoting a smooth and elastic look.

But that’s not all Trinny does to retain her vitality.

Another way Trinny keeps herself looking vibrant and energised is practising lymphatic drainage at home: “I will also always do a ten-minute lymphatic drainage body-tapping routine.

“I go up my arms and legs, pull down my ears, then move around my collar bones, armpits, stomach, inner thigh and behind my knees.

“Then I’ll jump up and down doing ‘bunny hops’ for one minute.

“When you stop, you feel this rush through your body because you are making your lymphatic system active and draining away toxins.”

The beauty guru makes sure to do this at least five times a week.

What is lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that involves applying gentle pressure to specific areas of your body to move excess fluid away from tissues and towards working lymph vessels and lymph nodes.

This movement gets rid of toxins in your body and reduces swelling – making you look less puffy.

Trinny also thanks a sugar-free, high protein diet and active lifestyle for her healthy look.

She doesn’t see turning 60 as an excuse to stagnate: “Twice a year I take stock of where I am in life.

“In January it’s a spiritual kind of reflection: how, rather than where, do I want to be? This year, it was about ‘bringing my best self to every situation’.

“I set it as an intention and wrote it on my mirror, on my computer and in my notes page on my phone.

“Then in September I set my goals – even though I’m 60, I still feel it’s the beginning of a new school year!”
