My secret anti-aging weapon isn’t just defying gravity, it gives you glowing skin
A former beautician has revealed her unconventional method for a youthful glow involves defying gravity.
Nicola Jones shared her ‘secret weapon’ for avoiding the visible signs of ageing at 50.
Jones, who lives in London, England, founded the vegan skincare brand Face addictafter working in the beauty industry for over 20 years.
Speaking to The US Sun, she shared tips for a timeless look.
TURNING THE TABLE
Inversion tables are typically designed to relieve back pain while improving flexibility and strength.
Surprisingly, however, Jones said she “swears by” its use for its anti-aging benefits.

“Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down with your feet above your heart. That’s my secret weapon,” she says.
“It’s not just about defying gravity, it’s also fantastic for boosting circulation and giving your skin an extra glow.”
FOOD FOR THE THOUGHT
Jones said it’s better to focus on a radiant appearance than on chasing youth.
“Radiance is timeless and can be achieved at any age as long as you do it consistently,” she said.
“Stick to a daily skin care routine, eat a healthy, balanced diet, and most importantly, enjoy your own skin.
“When you glow from within, that natural radiance shines through, no matter your age.”
She no longer eats refined sugar because it “literally destroys collagen.”
Several nutrients are essential in her daily diet for a radiant appearance.
“I am a firm believer in the power of vitamins C, E and D. These antioxidants are magical for healthy, youthful skin,” she says.
“And when it comes to food, I eat an avocado every day.
“It’s packed with skin-loving nutrients that nourish from within, making it a true beauty superfood.”
Dehydration can quickly lead to a dull, pale complexion, so staying hydrated is essential for a radiant complexion.

Jones said good sleep and adequate hydration are “imperative factors” for her overall health.
“I aim to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night,” she said.
“In terms of hydration, I drink 1-2 liters of water throughout the day to stay focused and keep my skin firm and glowing.
“Dehydration can quickly lead to a dull, sallow complexion, so staying hydrated is essential for a radiant complexion.”
BEAUTY ENHANCERS
Jones previously revealed that she uses Face Junkie’s Hero Collection from morning to night to keep her skin healthy.
The $150 package is formulated for “preparation, prevention, protection, detoxification, hydration and regeneration.”
Bakuchiol and Niacinamide are among the “groundbreaking” ingredients she will soon add to her brand’s product lineup.
She said niacinamide reduces redness and hyperpigmentation, while bakuchiol is similar to retinol but does not cause irritation.
