I will never forget the first time I was offered Botox. It was ten years ago – I was approaching forty and a beauty PR, who was representing a famous Harley Street aesthetician at the time, mentioned that she could do something about "that fine line just to the right of your eyebrow." I’d never even noticed it before. And even if I had, I’d never have thought to start having Botox to fix it.
I was Beauty Director at Boots Health & Beauty magazine at the time, and I’d introduced a no-retouch policy to all of the beauty images, including the cover, in their in-store magazine. This "real, unfiltered" approach to beauty and skin had been a thread running through my early career.
