Who better to front <strong>Radox</strong>’s<br />
latest pampering push than busy<br />
mum-to-be, <strong>Sara</strong> <strong>Cox</strong>? <strong>Beauty</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>’s<br />
GEMMA HUCKLE caught up with the Radio 1<br />
DJ to talk about ‘me’ time, baby bumps <strong>and</strong><br />
interviewing awkward celebrites...<br />

Back in the late Nineties, <strong>Sara</strong> <strong>Cox</strong><br />
was an archetypal ‘geezerbird’.<br />
She earned herself a reputation –<br />
<strong>and</strong> an army of fans – as the hard<br />
drinking, brazen Bolton lass on our screens<br />
<strong>and</strong> radios. But 10 years <strong>and</strong> two (soon to<br />
be three) kids later, ‘<strong>Cox</strong>y’s’ partying days<br />
are far behind her. In fact, the busy<br />
working mum has been chosen to front a<br />
new campaign for <strong>Radox</strong>, encouraging<br />
people to take some ‘me time’ <strong>and</strong> treat<br />
themselves to a ‘selfish hour’.<br />
What made you say yes to becoming<br />
the face of <strong>Radox</strong>?<br />
It really appealed to me. I’m really busy<br />
now with the kids <strong>and</strong> work – <strong>and</strong> I moved<br />
house over Christmas, so it’s been hectic. I<br />
think it’s a great idea to encourage women<br />
(not just mums) to take some time out to<br />
relax, whether it be taking a bath or even<br />
just having a cuppa!<br />
What would be your ideal<br />
‘selfish hour’?<br />
I would leave the kids behind <strong>and</strong> head<br />
off to the stables in St Albans with a<br />
friend <strong>and</strong> spend an hour riding one of<br />
her horses. Then when I get home, I<br />
would soak my aching bones in a nice,<br />
big <strong>Radox</strong> bath.<br />
Before you had children, what<br />
would have been your idea of a<br />
‘selfish hour’?<br />
Before I had children every hour of my day<br />
was selfish, I don’t know what I filled my<br />
time with! I’d like going down to the pub<br />
with my mates <strong>and</strong> quaffing on wine.<br />
Do you have any <strong>relaxation</strong> tips for<br />
mums-to-be?<br />
Well, for first time mothers I would say lie<br />
still <strong>and</strong> cherish the peace <strong>and</strong> quiet before<br />
it all gets noisy! I like swimming, <strong>and</strong><br />
sleeping is a great way to recuperate.<br />
What are your staple beauty products?<br />
I love Kérastase’s shampoos <strong>and</strong><br />
conditioners as they sort my hair out <strong>and</strong><br />
leave it nice <strong>and</strong> shiny. Nivea Visage<br />
Anti-wrinkle Q10 Plus Day Cream <strong>and</strong><br />
Night Cream are my saviors. I also love<br />
Bio-Oil as it leaves my skin really soft <strong>and</strong><br />
I love rubbing it on my bump!<br />
With your super-busy lifestyle juggling<br />
family <strong>and</strong> work, do you have any tips<br />
for quick beauty?<br />
When I’m doing my radio show I don’t<br />
really need to do much. All I use is some<br />
tinted moisturiser so that I look a bit more<br />
refreshed, some eyelash curlers (they have<br />
to be the best invention ever) <strong>and</strong> I always<br />
carry a Vaseline Lip Therapy tin around<br />
with me as I tend to get dry lips.<br />
