One writer has told the Daily Mail of her natural beauty and exercise regime - and her plan to stay young forever using home-made anti wrinkle solutions.

The appropriately named Elizabeth Young uses natural beauty compounds she puts together herself.

Her ingredients can be found in most people's kitchen cupboards - bicarbonate of soda, honey and lemon juice.

She makes her own cucumber face mask - using real cucumbers - to gain from the anti wrinkle properties of the vegetable.

"I want to prove you can stay looking youthful forever if you try hard enough," she tells the publication.

Her other efforts include avoiding dehydrating beverages such as tea and coffee, along with leg stretches and weight exercises to stay in shape.

In a separate Beauty Confidential column in the Daily Mail, Elsa McAlonan advises one reader that the end of summer does not guarantee a healthy, sun-kissed skin.

She warns that sun block, makeup and sweat can combine to leave "an ideal environment" in which spots can form - and suggests exfoliating to protect against this.
