The burlesque star chatted to Bunnie XO on her Dumb Blonde podcast, where the presenter questioned Dita about her top beauty tips and tricks.
“You’re 51, your skin is flawless… what is your skincare routine?” Bunnie asked.
“Sunscreen!” Dita replied straight away.
She then revealed the bedtime rule she wishes she’d been told years ago, that’s worked wonders for her maintaining a flawless visage.

“I wish somebody would have told me when I was young how good it is for you to sleep on your back,” Dita exclaimed.
She admitted she has taught herself to sleep on her back over the past few years, and it’s “worked miracles”.
“If you think about it, if you’re a side sleeper, I know where my one wrinkle came from,” she explained.
“It’s from sleeping with your face on the pillow.”
Dita used various methods to help train herself to sleep on her back, including a timer and meditation.
“I lay there like a zombie and just close my eyes, sleep with my palms up,” she continued.
“So it puts my shoulders back and I’m like, okay, everything’s fine.”
Bunnie questioned how Dita has managed to train herself not to “move throughout the night”, to which she insisted she’s a “light sleeper” and can usually “catch” herself if she swaps position.
“I’ve actually gotten good…” she said.
“If I feel like I have to sleep on my side, I’ve gotten good at putting the pillow kind of up here so my face is still not being squished by the pillow.”
Dita concluded by saying it’s “all fun and games” until the “collagen starts going”.
And her beloved sunglasses also sometimes leave marks on her face.
But she won’t be giving those up anytime soon.
“They’ll stay all day,” she vowed.
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
Dita’s tips divided opinion in the comments section, with one writing: “Am I the only one who thinks sleeping comfortably your whole life is more important than looking younger than you are for half of it?”
“I started sleeping on back a few months back & now I have the most vivid, scariest dreams now,” someone else said.
“If I sleep on my back I’m getting sleep paralysis,” a third added.
“I’m a rotisserie chicken while I sleep. I have no control over these things,” someone else argued.
“If I try to sleep on my back, I just won’t sleep lol,” another wrote.
