The £5 buy Joanna Page swears by for flawless skin at 47 – after insisting she’ll never get Botox

GAVIN and Stacey’s Joanna Page has made her TV return as BBC’s new presenter for Wild Life and is looking better than ever.

Despite being 47, the Welsh actress is looking flawless and has barely aged since the hit comedy show hit our screens in 2007.

She’s now also mum to kids Eva, 11, Kit, nine, Noah, eight, and three-year-old Boe, with James, her husband of 21 years.

Despite being a busy working mum, Joanna’s glowing skin and slim physique has stayed consistent.

Her secrets? a £5 bargain buy and long walks outside.

Here, we look at how Joanna keeps her fresh-faced look and why she’ll never try Botox.

All Natural

The actress says she has often looked younger than she is and thanks to her anti-ageing genes refuses to get Botox.

“I’ve always looked younger than I am,” she says.

“When I was 21 I remember going into a video store and the assistant asked if I was over 15.”

She added: “If I develop a new wrinkle I think it’s quite nice as your face shows your character and who you are. A few lines show you’ve lived.”

Fitness

While Joanna has a slim physique she says she rarely heads to the gym.

“I do like yoga and I’m thinking of joining the gym but I don’t exercise that regularly. Walking the dog and gardening keeps me fit,” she told the Express.

She doubled down on her exercise routine with Fabulous this Christmas adding that her top beauty hack was ‘getting outside’ and drinking plenty of water.

Skincare Heroes

Joanna keeps her skincare routine fairly simple and has been known to even skip it.

“There is no skincare regime. I sleep in my makeup. Once I did a shoot and I liked the makeup so much, I left it on.

“I did get a gunky eye, so I’m not sure I’ll do that again,” she told Fabulous.

However, when she does decide to do a skincare routine she keeps it simple with a cleanser toner and moisturiser.

Her favourite? A bargain buy for £5.

“I love Nivea and I stick to the cheapest one as expensive moisturisers bring me out in spots.”

You can buy the Nivea face cream for £5.99 from Boots, and there’s another budget item she swears by.

“I use Nivea hand and body cream, and it’s only £1.99,” she added.

Make-up Bag Essentials

The blonde beauty has two make-up saviours she swears by and they have multifunction to keep it lowkey.

Joanna swears by the Armani concealer and a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick which she puts on her cheeks to double up as blush too.

She revealed that her make-up hasn’t always been so simple as she recalls her teenage years.

“When I was a teenager, I liked wearing dark purplish lipstick. I was a goth. But now I’ve become a bit more feminine,” she revealed.

Speaking to the Guardian, Joanna revealed she’s happy with her appearance and doesn’t feel the need to use a lot of make-up.

“I am quite happy with my appearance,” she said.

I don’t make a fuss of my hair or make-up. I buy a lot of make-up because I’m always having ideas about what I am going to do, but I never know how to apply it.

“Normally, I put on mascara, concealer under my eyes, a bit of peach lipstick and blusher, and that does me.”
