Tammie Phillips, 37, Organic Food Store Owner

Ageing doesn’t frighten me. I focus on my inner health first and believe that what you eat is reflected in the way you look and feel. I embrace natural therapies, and only want to put natural, organic products on my skin. I’m not into cosmetic surgery, but I believe you should do what makes you feel good.

Lesley Thompson, 54, Events Manager

I have a fuss-free approach to beauty. I’m not that interested in it, as it all seems too hard. Whatever I do has to be about simplicity and ease.

Marina De Kraker, 45, Educator/Trainer

Beauty comes from the inside and is an indication of how well you care for yourself. You have to nurture yourself for beauty to shine through and cosmetics can only enhance that beauty.

Janesse Taylor-Saar, 46, Skin Medics Medispa Owner

I like to do as much as I can to look and feel as good as I can. I’m happy to invest in all types of cosmeceutical treatments and injectables to keep my skin smooth and firm. Afterall, that’s the business I’m in.

Shae Claverie, 28, Personal Assistant

I think I’m going to age gracefully. I can’t see myself having cosmetic surgery, but I’m not against it. I’m more interested in my health, than looking cosmetic or superficial.

Sue Cullen, 60, Businesswoman

I care about appearances and like to look after myself. But it’s not just about caring for my skin and face; I’m interested in total well-being. I don’t allow myself to get too overweight and I’m quite disciplined, as I don’t want to look middle-aged and overweight. I look after myself because it makes me feel more confident, and ultimately that makes me feel good about myself.
