Fresh off her 50th birthday, Danni Minogue has revealed a rare insight into her highly sought-after beauty routine. And as far as celebrity anti-ageing tips go, it’s one of the best there is.
Coming as no surprise whatsoever, Dannii and sister Kylie Minogue both have a strong gene pool on their side. Speaking to The Sun, Dannii revealed that both her dad and grandmother Millie (who is about to celebrate her 102nd birthday) have always had incredible skin.
In addition to the inherited glow, the usual suspects on any skin care recommendation list have also been playing a role. “It’s obviously down to the boring things that we know are good for you – sleep, exercise, drinking water,” she explained.
But to balance the youthful, glowing genetics that Dannii has been blessed with (because we’ve got to keep it fair somehow), she’s also struggled with an ongoing stubborn skin condition. However, it’s one she’s managed to find an effective treatment for: “I have terrible rosacea so I have laser treatment for it. It makes the skin so smooth and glowing and helps with [stimulating] collagen,” Dannii shared.
And while the discovery of laser treatments have made a remarkable difference to the singer’s skin, there’s something else that’s made the greatest impact of all.
Following the diagnosis of Kylie’s breast cancer in 2005, Dannii quickly found herself with a ‘real appreciation’ for life; one that left her viewing the ageing process in an entirely new light.
“Growing old is a privilege,” she shared. “I realised that after going through Kylie being sick and not knowing if we were going to lose her”.
And there it is, the reality check we all need when we’re worrying about wrinkles.

What do you think about Dannii Minogue’s view on ageing?
I love her view – I have the same one.
I love her view on aging and think we sure all take a bit of it on board.
Beautifully said – thanks for the article, Ruby.
She speaks of wrinkles. So where are they?
I was thinkng the same thing, she must have botox, not a wrinkle in sight. Think I’d be too scared to have botox.
She does look good for 50. I’m 50 in a few months and people say I look a lot younger. I’m quite petite so I think that helps.
It really dies Hayley! Pocket Rockets like us look much younger!
She probably has very few!
Underneath the botox
A lot of treatments including botox.
I can’t believe she’s 50!
Love her outlook, same. Living longer is amazing! Every moment is celebration for me and happiness. More, merrier!
The Minogue sisters both seem ageless. Amazing!
Yes, they must be among the few lucky ones who dont age.
I have longed for the money to have laser treatments for my rosacea. I wish I could.
A bit pricey is it?
I agree with Dannii that Growing kld is a privilege. Life can be too short.
Could’nt agree more, they are looking more and more alike as they get older.
She makes a good point: growing old is better than the alternative!
Very true!!
So amazing that is 50 and still so fun and amazing!
Love both Danni and Kylie -They are both so vibrant and sassy !! They are right too as being alive is a privilege and we should all make the most of ot and appreciate the best in others
That’s exactly my outlook on ageing. I’m lucky that I’m fit and healthy and enjoying life. The fine lines and wrinkles are a reminder that I am one of the privileged.
My goodness they look the same as they did decades ago.
My husband was genetically blessed with wonderful skin. I’m scared I’ll end up looking like a craddle snatcher! 😀
Lol! The term cougar has come into mind!
OMG 50?! She doesn’t look it at all!
Dannii Minogue has a healthy view to ageing and her genetic heritage from her Grandparents her skin looks absolutely stunning, her big Sister Kylie Minogue as well both are genetic beauties. 🙂💐
Love her philosophy that “Growing old is a privilege”
She looks fantastic – I’ve loved following both Kylie and Danni’s careers in music and presenting. They both are incredible women.
She has the right attitude and you can see that she takes care of her skin as well.
After some major health problems, I came to the same conclusion.
It definitely is a privilege. I love it!
I have the same view on ageing & value feeling young at heart. With that said, I would be even more comfortable with getting older if I had her genes & looked as good, even at 43 😉
Oh they both look gorgeous.
Wow, the Minogues have fabulous genes!
Dannii is awesome
I agree she is lovely and her sister is as well.
So true!
The Minogue sisters went to my local high school and were taught by one of my family friends. Kylie was really shy and Dannii was an extrovert!
I agree with her that clinical treatments work best!
