I’m a 61-year-old beauty guru but I’m biologically 39 – the free anti-ageing secrets I wish I’d known sooner

THE name Liz Earle is synonymous with the cleanse & polish cleanser that became a cult-favourite over 15 years ago. But the woman behind the brand often stays out of the limelight, letting her classic skincare take the lead. Thankfully, Liz Earle, now 61, has sat down with Dr. George to discuss all things beauty - including reversing her biological age.
Speaking on the Stormcast podcast, Liz opened up about how her biological clock is 20 years younger. Liz revealed that a couple of years ago she would have never publicly discussed being 61, due to society deeming it as old - something she didn't identify with.
She added: "But biologically, I am actually 39.". Liz then revealed some of her favourite tips to reverse ageing, inside and outside. The first tip Liz gave was to 'lighten up.' Like most of us, Liz spent a lot of her time feeling stressed or worrying too much, which has been proven to age us.
A study published in Cell Metabolism has found that biological age increases with stress, but can return to normal levels when stress levels decrease. She also revealed that adding protein to her diet has greatly shifted her biological age and helped her physically.
Liz, who has shifted her career to focus on overall wellness rather than skincare also said the type of exercise you do can make a massive impact. While she spent years in the gym doing step classes and hard cardio, she has now swapped it for lifting weights and HIT exercises.
