Nigella Lawson has revealed why she thinks her skin always looks young, saying the secret is a lot simpler than many people think.
The TV chef said she has never had Botox or fillers. Instead, she believes staying out of the sun and accepting herself has helped her over the years.
Talk to The mirrorNigella said she is “sun allergic”, meaning she avoids being exposed to direct sunlight for most of her life.
The TV star also thinks good genes played a big role.
“I’m a big believer in butter. I just eat what I want. I enjoy life but also, I know myself. I don’t punish myself by trying to look like a model,” she said.
Nigella added: “I think the skin is definitely genetic. I’m also allergic to the sun so I don’t go out in the sun and that makes a difference.
It’s been like this my whole life but it’s worse. I just can’t go. In fact, it’s boring.
The 66-year-old also added that she has no plans to resort to cosmetic treatments.
“Having a little fat on my face helps. I don’t do fillers or anything like that. Cosmetic work is tyranny. I just think it’s pointless,” she explained.
Nigella also spoke about getting older, saying she feels lucky to be getting older after losing her mother, sister and first husband to cancer.
“It would be immoral if I complained about aging,” she said. “Life is precious.”
