‘I’m nearly 100 but people think I’m 50 – a cheap Boots buy is my skincare secret’

 

Nivea products, including the popular Nivea Creme, are easily accessible in supermarkets and pharmacies. For those inspired by Joan’s story, a 200ml tub of Nivea Creme can be obtained for £5.99 at Boots, while Superdrug offers it for £4.29. Bargain hunters can also find it on Ocado for £3.18 and even as low as £1.50 on Amazon for a smaller 50ml tub. The Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream, another highly regarded option, can be purchased for just £2 at Boots.

It is worth mentioning that Joan’s age-defying routine goes beyond skincare. She emphasizes that she doesn’t engage in any extraordinary measures to maintain her youthful appearance. Despite residing in sunny Spain, Joan remains unapologetically herself, relishing in her love for pies and traditional English cuisine. “I don’t do anything special to stay young,” she insists. “I love pies and English grub, so even in Spain, I’ve stuck to eating that. I’ve never put any weight on.” Her secret, it seems, lies in her zest for life and her refusal to conform to the expectations associated with aging.
