Trinny Woodall has opened up about turning 60, revealing that she's focusing on 'really knowing what she wants now’ rather than worrying about 'what people think' about her.

Back in February, Trinny Woodall celebrated her 60th birthday - and since then, the fashion guru revealed she has been reevaluating her priorities and her general outlook on life.

But as she struggled with her skin, the insecurity led to, what has now become, Trinny's biggest endeavour; her beauty line. "I'd be spending hours doing lotions and potions to try and get my skin to a decent place, so I always was quite interested in how can I change my skin? How can I heal my skin?"

She subsequently did 'tons of research' into skincare, figuring out which ingredients were the best and which would help cure her acne. After healing her own acne, she took her ideas and created her incredibly successful skincare and makeup empire.

And, as she heads into her 60s, her focus on skincare is all about this healing, not about anti-aging, which is a refreshingly new take on skincare targeted at mature skin types.

"I’ve got eye wrinkles now and they don’t bother me one bit,” she told The Independent earlier this year, revealing that her skincare routine at 60 is all about enhancing her skin and looking after it, not changing it completely - something that's in line with her new mantra of not worrying about others' opinions, only those she has of herself.
