Queen Mary of Denmark turned 52 on February 5th, but you’d hardly know it. The Australian-born royal is looking fresher than ever despite her increasingly busy schedule six months into her new role as Queen of Denmark.
Insiders say Mary is committed to an exercise regime and benefits from the ‘Danish diet’, which centres around locally-sourced, high-quality natural foods and oily fish. However, a leading cosmetic expert believes she looks almost too good for exercise and diet alone to be the solution.
Dr Scott Allison of Ascension Cosmetic Medicine Brisbane has weighed in, suggesting medical-grade beauty products and targeted treatments are also at play.
“Queen Mary of Denmark has been long adored for her timeless beauty and she has almost become ageless now too. But the real magic is in the fact that nothing looks fake,” Dr Allison tells Woman’s Day.
“A lot of celebrities are devoted to Morpheus8 for its ability to lift and tighten, while keeping results looking natural,” he says.
Morpheus8 is a micro-needling device that harnesses radiofrequency energy, effectively remodelling and contouring the face and body. Typical results include a smoother, more refined appearance, Dr Allison says, adding, “It tightens the jawline and plumps in all the right places.”
VITAMIN C AS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Combining micro-needling with effective skincare like Queen Mary’s favourite vitamin C-rich products like Dope Skin Co. Vitamin C Antioxidant Elixir with CoQ10 can maximise results. Think enhanced collagen production, antioxidant protection and brighter skin.
However, don’t use Vitamin C or retinol straight after micro-needling as they can cause irritation. Experts say it’s best to wait at least 48 hours for those stronger, anti-aging formulas.
With that, here are the best anti-aging elixirs for a fresh-faced look like Queen Mary.
