The 48-year-old explained that she tried Botox once when she was 43 but found out that she was allergic after a trip to the emergency room.
"I have never done fillers, I haven't even done laser, I only have relied thus far on a healthy lifestyle and great skincare," she said.
Her biggest tip and secret to her youthful skin was her diet of mainly fruits, vegetables, and fish.
On top of eating clean, she also credits her skin to liquid collagen supplements, $77, that she consumes daily.
"I think it has really turned back the time, I feel like my skin looks better now than it did five years ago before I started using liquid collagen," she said.
The supplement has also given her additional benefits on top of good skin that she was pleased by.
"My hair looks better than ever, my hair has never been this long and this shiny," she said.

Medically reviewed by Jurairat J. Molina, MD
Allergies are an immune system reaction to substances called allergens. The cause a range of symptoms from a stuffy nose to itchy eyes to difficulty breathing. How long allergies last varies based on what type of allergy, length of exposure, and several other factors.
This article will discuss the different types of allergies and how long they last. It will also cover factors that impact allergy duration.

How Long an Allergic Reaction Could LastThe length of time an allergic reaction can last varies based on several factors. The information below discusses the type of allergic reaction and the amount of time the reaction can last.
Food AllergyFood allergy symptoms typically begin a few minutes or two hours after someone eats or drinks. In some people, the onset of symptoms will disappear and a second wave of symptoms will return one to four hours later. This phenomenon is called a biphasic reaction.
The length of time that food allergy symptoms last will vary based on the severity of the reaction, as well as how much of the food was eaten and for how long. It is common for symptoms to last for two hours up to a couple of days.
Oral allergy syndrome is a type of food allergy where the mouth or throat becomes itchy after eating certain foods. It typically occurs within minutes of eating a fruit or vegetable.
Seasonal AllergySeasonal allergies, sometimes called hay fever, is a reaction to pollen, dust, or mold that tends to worsen during the spring, summer, or fall.
People with seasonal allergies can experience symptoms for the entire time that they are exposed to the allergen. This can be for about six weeks during pollen seasons. If exposure to the allergen continues, then allergy symptoms can last for months.
Anaphylactic Allergic ReactionAn anaphylactic allergic reaction is a severe, whole-body allergic reaction. It occurs within seconds to minutes of contact with an allergen.
The symptoms of anaphylaxis will peak within 30 minutes of exposure to the allergen. The symptoms can continue to last for many hours.
Skin AllergyAllergic contact dermatitis is a skin reaction to contact from an allergen. The allergic reaction typically occurs one to two days after exposure. The reaction causes a rash that can continue to be seen for weeks after the allergen is removed.

Immediate vs. Delayed Allergic ReactionsThere are four hypersensitivity classifications, types 1, 2, 3, and 4. Type 1 is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction. It occurs soon after an allergen exposure. Types 2, 3, and 4 are delayed hypersensitivity reactions. These occur 24 hours or longer after allergen exposure.
The most immediate reaction is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. It occurs when the body produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to an allergen. When the IgE antibodies detect the allergen, the allergic reaction is produced within seconds to minutes. This is seen in many allergies like pollen, pet dander, and dust. IgE also can produce anaphylaxis, in which the entire body reacts to an allergen.
Type 4 hypersensitivity is the second most common type of reaction. This type of reaction takes two days or more to develop. An example of this reaction is a rash to poison ivy.
Type 2 hypersensitivity is an antibody-dependent reaction involving antibodies other than IgE and is not typically described as an allergy. This is a rare reaction and takes anywhere from two to 24 hours to develop. Examples of type 2 reactions are erythroblastosis fetalis, Goodpasture syndrome, and autoimmune anemias.
Type 3 is an immune-complex disease and is not typically described as an allergy. It takes a couple of days to weeks to occur. Examples of type 3 reactions are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and reactive arthritis.
Factors That Impact Duration of Allergic ReactionOverall, the factor that impacts the duration of an allergic reaction is the length of time someone is exposed to the allergen. An example is those with seasonal allergies, symptoms will remain as long as the pollen is circulating in the air. Or, if a person is allergic to pet dander, they will continue to have symptoms as long as they are exposed.
Allergic Reaction vs. Hypersensitivity vs. IntoleranceThe terms "allergic reaction," "hypersensitivity," and "intolerance" are occasionally used interchangeably. However, these terms all have unique meanings.
Intolerance is usually used in reference to food intolerance. This is when the body has a difficult time digesting a certain food. This causes people to feel sick or have an upset stomach. An example of this is lactose intolerance.
An allergic reaction is a clinical syndrome that is an immune system response to an allergen. The term hypersensitivity is a term that describes the immune response, and an allergy is a type of hypersensitivity reaction.
Ways to Shorten Allergic Reaction TimeThere are several ways to shorten an allergic reaction. The first step is to find out what is causing the allergy and remove it. In some cases, like seasonal allergies, this is not always possible.
The next step to shorten an allergic reaction is to treat it with medication. There are many over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicines available to manage allergies. If this is a new allergy, talk to a healthcare provider about the best treatment plan.
Treatments may include:
Antihistamines: This common type of oral medication blocks the histamine response, which causes many of the allergy symptoms. Examples include Allegra (fexofenadine), Clarinex (desloratadine)n Xyzal (levocetirizine), and Zyrtec (cetirizine). Antihistamine nasal sprays and eye drops are also available.
Nasal corticosteroids: This type of nasal spray reduces swelling in the nose. This minimizes congestion and runny nose. Examples include Flonase (fluticasone propionate) and Nasonex (mometasone)
Decongestants: A decongestant nasal spray narrows blood vessels in the nose to reduce swelling and congestion. These are very effective medications. However, if used too frequently, they can cause rebound congestion. An example is Afrin (oxymetazoline).
Mast cell stabilizers: This type of medication stops the body from releasing histamine. An example is NasalCrom (cromolyn).
Corticosteroid creams: This type of topical treatment reduces swelling, redness, and itching in allergic rashes.
Epinephrine is used for an anaphylactic allergic reaction. This is a medical emergency in which the person's breathing becomes difficult or impossible, and their blood circulation decreases. An epinephrine autoinjector (such as an EpiPen) should be used as soon as possible, and also call 911.
SummaryAllergies can be bothersome or even life-threatening. It's best to avoid triggers to keep symptoms away. However, that is not always possible. In these cases, there are several medications available to reduce symptoms and decrease the duration of allergies. Always talk to a healthcare provider before starting a new medication or when a new allergy arises.

Allergic To Fruit And Veg
I wrote to you a while ago as I have an allergy to fruits and vegetables (apart from potatoes). I am also allergic to lactos. The doctors thought I had PCOS but this has proven to be wrong. The cause of my abdominal pain is unknown though thought to be hormone related.
My dietician cannot really help me with my eating as I can't eat the normal fruit and veg. Can you guide me as to what would be a healthy diet for me? Is pasta with a pesto sauce good for you? And how do I stop chocolate cravings?
I ask as I once suffered from anorexia and bulimia and worry as I am a little overweight and don't want to go down that road again. (My height is 163cm and I weigh 72 kilos) Please help me learn to eat right!
