Secrets of Ageless Ageing: Deborah Hutton

Posted: Thursday 6 January 2011 01:48pm

Deborah Hutton has been in the spotlight for more than 20 years, as a model, presenter and beauty spokesperson. Despite being busier than ever, the 49-year-old becomes more gorgeous with every passing year. I asked her to share her secrets for youthful beauty.

How do you look as great as you do?

I’ve been religious with my skin since my grandma bought me my first products when I was 14. I’ve been using Olay for five years and have noticed no rapid degenration of my skin a all. If you are diligent with cleansing, exfoliation and moisturising, and if you load on serums, have the odd facial and face mask and put hydration back into your body, it pays.

What skincare do you use?

I use the Olay Regenerist range, but even if I wasn’t associated with the brand, I’ve had such a great journey with it that I would always stick with it. Olay has brought out a Micro-Sculpting Serum (RRP $49.99), which is great. I also use Micro-Sculpting Serum ($19.99) a couple of times a week to keep my skin smooth. At night I dive into the Micro-Sculpting Cream ($49.99). I love it. I want to drown in it.

What about caring for your body?

My mother gave me a beautiful Elemis Exotic Lime & Ginger  Salt Glow scrub ($99) and I love that. I exercise a lot, doing cardio, weights and Pilates, and I walk a lot. I slather on body lotion to prevent dry skin and use Kiri oil after every shower too.

How do you keep your hair looking so wonderful?

As I’m slowly going greyer I’m getting blonder! Because of the colouring and streaks I use reallyk good products. I’m a huge fan of the Kerastase range and love Pantene’s Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle mask ($7.99).

And your biggest beauty splurge?

Having facials with Fumi, an amazing Japanese woman. The lines seem to have decreased since since I’ve been seeing her!

Do you follow any special diet?

I love food so I concentrate on healthy options. I avoid cream and pastas and take it easy on the cheese. I really go light on the things that I know I need to keep in moderation. In summer I live on salds and in winter on soups. I don’t have a sweet tooth – bread and pinot are my downfall!

What is your philosophy on ageing?

Trying to do it as gracefully as possible. It’s a personal journey and every woman is different. I’m not a great fan of fillers and I don’t do Botox as it makes me look like Jack Nicholson. I’m not about the quick fix. I think you have to have an holistic approach and be well-rounded. You have to get exercise, fresh air, drink water and eat and sleep well. If you don’t, the body shows signs of age. Simple as that.
