Molly Routledge now lives in a care home in County Durham (Image: Express) Molly Routledge doesn’t just have the secret to living beyond 100 – she also has a tip or two for amazing skin. The glowing widow, who has just celebrated turning 103 with a party, swears by Pond’s Cold Cream and a daily swig of cider vinegar with honey. Molly, who was born 15 years after the lotion was invented, said: “My mam introduced Pond’s Cold Cream to me when I was a little girl.

“When I was about five years old she told me to apply it every night. It’s important to always use moisturiser morning and night.” function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.

Thomas died 21 years ago and Molly now lives in Church View care home in Seaham, County Durham, where she says knitting, crochet and quizzes give her a zest for life.

The home laid on a party for her, loved ones and friends for her birthday. Molly, who was serenaded by singer Gregg Ross amid the balloons, had one other tip for staying young: “A wonderful husband and family.” Related articles 'I'm 55 but people say I look 30 years younger - here is my top beauty secret' 6 skincare mistakes which can cause ‘accelerated ageing’ Kate Middleton's 'no-needle botox' serum is in the sale at Amazon Firming anti-ageing serum that delivers 'youthful skin' is now £10 Travellers warned about using SPF on holiday this summer SUBSCRIBE Invalid email We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you've consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
