Q. I am 43. I am starting to develop terrible

furrows on my forehead. I do not wish to go under the knife nor do I wish to have any more Botox because I do not like the ‘Botox delay’ effect. What do you recommend, Mary?

S.F., Sunningdale, Berkshire

A. Some readers may be unfamiliar with the expression ‘Botox delay’. This effect can be viewed when an injectee’s facial expression fails to run concurrently with views being expressed, but manifests itself, inappropriately, a few seconds later, when the subject has moved on. This is unnerving for interlocutors. Why not try the ‘Polyfilla’ version of make-up which comes highly recommended by Sarah Stacey, co-author with Josephine Fairley of The 21st Century Beauty Bible, published by Kyle Cathie, £14.99. The product is Prescriptives Magic Invisible Line Smoother, £27/15 ml. Having tested thousands of products while compiling the Beauty Bible, Sarah declares that this one has had excellent results where furrow-filling is required.
