Pumpkin seeds have a long history of use dating back to over 7,500 years ago. Across many cultures, they’ve been used as a folk remedy to treat a number of health issues thanks to their nutritious, omega-3 fatty acids and lots of minerals that have anti-inflammatory effects that lead to brighter, more firm, supple skin.

Cat, who is from Birmingham in the US state of Alabama, also eats walnuts and prunes every single day.

Walnuts are great at protecting the skin for environmental stress and promote collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.They are a fantastic addition to any diet for promoting a natural glow, according to The Doctors Laser Clinic Norwich.

Plus, prunes help fight aging and wrinkles. It is packed with potassium which helps draw water to the skin cells and prevent dryness, while its Vitamin A helps to maintain clear, less patchy skin.

Cat, who owns her own skincare brand called Owen, says they also “keep everything moving”.

In a bid for further skin hydration, she also drinks three litres of water a day and drinks electrolytes, which supercharge the absorption of water to bring vibrancy back to the skin, according to Beauty Pie.

Cat, who loves using a hydrating balm on her lips every day, also says she “doses everything” she eats in olive oil.

“It’s good for your heart, it keeps your skin plump,” she added.

The youthful-looking woman also swears by using an acid toner, dubbing it as a “game changer”. While she is a fan of Lotion p50 it will set you back over £90. As an alternative, she suggests Byoma Brightening Toner, which you can buy from Boots for £11.99.

The singer also says she loves using a gua sha – a smooth-edged tool to massage and scrape the skin – on her face.

“This releases the muscles, it prevents hard lines from appearing,” she said.

Cat, who enjoys walking in the countryside for exercise, also says speaking kindly to yourself and loving yourself is essential and looking and feeling young.

She said: “You know how people say ‘if you talk to your plants and suddenly they will thrive’, it’s the same with your body.”

She added: “Instead of saying ‘I look old and tired, I’m losing my beauty’, no, you say, I need some extra kindness, nourishment, I need a nap.”

She also loves listening to audio books to learn new things. She insists educating yourself or trying out a new hobby can help you feel lively.

Cat admits that she does get 20 units of Botox between her brows, but she insists that overdoing it can take away from looking youthful and alive.

She shared: “While the Botox does wonders for the line between my browns, I find these other things to be equally if not more effective.”
