WE all want to know the beauty secrets that the stars swear by, and when they’re affordable to follow, it’s even better.
The former Coronation Street actress Beverley Callard has shared a little insight into the world of beauty hacks.
The 67-year-old, who is often praised for her youthful looks, has revealed a simple trick she’s been trying out and shared it with her fans.
Taking to her TikTok page, Beverley posted a video demonstrating a cheap and easy hack for youthful skin: a tablespoon of virgin olive oil.
Beverley says: “Okay, so I’ve got to tell you about this.
“I read the other day that if you take one tablespoon of virgin olive oil every single day, it’s meant to be miraculous and keep you looking young and be good for your skin and hair.
“God knows I need it.”
After filming herself drinking it, she adds: “It’s vile and absolutely disgusting.”
She then offers it to her husband, Jon McEwan, who is clearly not a fan.
Experts suggest that taking one tablespoon of virgin olive oil daily can be beneficial for your health due to its high content of monounsaturated fats, which help improve heart health and reduce inflammation.
Particularly abundant in extra virgin olive oil (commonly referred to as EVOO), polyphenols are among the most powerful nutrients it has to offer.
These polyphenols are potent antioxidants that work with your body’s proteins to protect against skin ageing and support your metabolism.

Harley Street Skin and Aesthetics Expert, Nina Prisk, Founder of Update Aesthetics Clinic says: “We are fortunate to live in an age where strong, powerful women are ageing so well.
“They are celebrating their natural beauty and taking steps to improve the health of their body and skin, rather than trying to totally transform their looks like we might have seen a few decades ago.”
Speaking on how Lisa Snowdon, 53, appears to have not aged throughout her career, Nina said: “A healthy, balanced diet and supplements are likely the cornerstone of her health regime, helping to keep her skin looking fresh and glowing.
“In-clinic treatments such as lasers may have been used to stimulate collagen production, along with clinical-grade topical skincare products to retain that youthful glow.”
[boxout headline=”Biggest skincare trends for 2025 “]Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions –
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
