The awful day we knew we'd lost our looks
Jilly Johnson (L), Helena Frith Powell, Kate Garraway (R) and Claudia Connell (M) share the moment they all realised they were losing their looks.
I’ll never forget it. I was crossing the road to enter Selfridges department store in London when I caught a glimpse of a tubby woman reflected in the shop’s huge windows. When her strides started to mirror mine, it hit me: she was me.
In my teens, I worked as a model, and I’d always been happy with my appearance. It was natural, then, for me to try to find a remedy when it started to change.
Ten years on I still have the odd shock. Just the other day, a friend and I were discussing a man she knows who, at the age of 44, has just married a 22-year-old.
my opinion:Throughout my teens and 20s, I had always looked years younger than I was. But, as I hit my mid-30s, all that stopped. Mother Nature took the brakes off and, seemingly overnight, I turned from bright-eyed, dewy-skinned nymph into red-eyed, flaky-skinned hag.
