I just eat what I want. I enjoy life but also, I know myself. I&#8217;m not punishing myself trying to look like a model. So that&#8217;s good &#8211; I just waddle and enjoy myself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think [good] skin is genetic, really. I&#8217;m also allergic to the sun so I don&#8217;t go into the sun and that makes a difference. It&#8217;s been [that way] my whole life but it&#8217;s got worse. I just can&#8217;t go in it. It&#8217;s a bore, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nigella also called cosmetic treatments a \u201ctyranny\u201d and insisted she will never have any work done on her face.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cHaving a bit of fat on the face helps. I don&#8217;t do filler or anything like that. Cosmetic work is a tyranny. I just think there&#8217;s no point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nNigella also revealed she sees ageing as a privilege after losing her mother, sister and first husband to cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\nNigella\u2019s mother Vanessa Salmon, died of liver cancer when Nigella was 25 and eight years later, the star lost her younger sister, Thomasina, to breast cancer at the age of 32.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2001, Nigella&#8217;s first husband, broadcaster John Diamond \u2013 the father of her children, Cosima, 32, and Bruno, 29 &#8211; died from throat cancer, at the age of 47.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: \u201cIt would be immoral if I complained about ageing \u2013 so I don&#8217;t. We shouldn\u2019t complain about being old. Life is precious. I&#8217;m not saying we can&#8217;t all moan about things \u2013 I think one has to be allowed to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cA sense of proportion is not always easy to hold onto. Loss is something you have to bear in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/nigella-lawson-allergic-sun-1446629.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>27 June 2026 Nigella Lawson is \u201callergic to the sun\u201d.
