What does Beauty mean to you?

Beauty means to me the essence of who we are. How we live our lives. How we present ourselves. I love that beauty is so unique for everyone. I try to see the beauty in everything. Nature for me is the purest beauty that we have. I’ve really leant into nature to heal me and also free me as a person and to accept all of me. I think simplicity is best and what makes you feel your best.

On Skincare

One of my ultimate favourites right now is my ritual oil, its made out of cold pressed moringa oil and blue lotus. When I’m at home especially and in my garden I just love to wake up and take a deep breath and smell it and apply it to my face. It really centers me and just elevates my mood and skin. I do this in the morning and at night. Literally I have a shower or a bath and steam my face and add this. You can add it in with all your other products. This is my staple now.

I use the Emma Lewisham Cleansing oil, it’s a really good one for taking off make up. I also love Barbara Sturm’s hydra drops, hyaluronic acid and her sun drops – still an old favourite and Barbara gave me so much inspiration for my skincare brand Equal Beauty.

I love Santa Maria Novella Aqua Di Rose because rosewater is one of my favs. Its smell and the richness of the water is beautiful. I’m just obsessed with anything rose and rose scented and I also have a rose garden. Roses are my flower and they have so many beauty benefits. It’s also just so refreshing to spray throughout the day keeping me hydrated.

On Make-up

Right now, I am loving having super dewy and strawberry sun kissed skin. I love this dew tint in Toffee by Flavedo and my Tom Ford eye defining pen to add freckles. I’m also loving Make Up Forever colour pencil called Anywhere Caffeine with YSL lip shine.

On Health and Wellness

I’m really into hydro therapy. Steam, sauna and ice baths. Also getting some sun helps me feel glowy and healthy. I also love walking in nature, breathing in the fresh air of trees and being in the hinterland has given me a whole new wellness lifestyle that I love and is very healing for my mind, body and spirit.

On Fragrance

I just love the smell of roses – it’s my favourite flower. My grandmother’s name is Rosa which is Rose in Portuguese. I just always think of her and I am obsessed with a British rose garden.
