Beauty is deeply personal.
What does beauty mean to you?
On Skincare
I love beauty products but I don’t tend to use that many of the same products consistently as I once heard that you should always keep rotating your products and routine for healthy and balanced skin. I also like to try the newest thing or go on a recommendation.
In the Morning I Wash my face with warm water. On and off I love to use good quality vitamin C – I go for Medik 8, as it works really well on my skin . I also love Cosmetics 27 Essence27 for a hyaluronic, you want a hyaluronic with small molecular weight or they just sit on the skin and the bigger molecules also make me break out. I use this in the morning and night depending on if I have been drinking and need an extra H20 boost. For Suncream – I change the ones I use often La Roche Posey SPF 50. I use this as my moisturiser as well
In the Evening I again keep it quite basic – Cleansers I don’t use often but living in London it’s good to! I love Botane Skin Actives whipped cleanser – it is hard to get hold of here but has incredible ingredients. If I have been in the sun I will use Synergie Skin Enlighten to keep pigmentation at bay.I will always use an oil on my face as the last thing in the evening – I rotate between Aesop and Vitners Daughter. If I have time I will try to Gua Sha but it is often only if I have something important the next day.

‘At the moment I am really into natural oils as fragrance, I use my body oil from Mount Sapo instead of perfume.’
‘In the winter I have been using the Dyson Airwrap and I am loving it.’
On Haircare
I wash my hair twice a week with Pureology shampoo and K18 leave-in conditioner. In the summer I let my hair dry naturally and in the winter I have been using a Dyson Airwap and loving it. My hair is quite fine but lots of it so I don’t tend to use many products on it unless it needs some heat protection in the sun.
On Make-Up
Brow pencil, still love Anastasia Beverly hills, a bubble gum pink Dior blush and a thick clumpy mascara – Badgal lash or Diorshow still in my favorites.
On Health and Wellness
I try not to put my face in the sun after years of being a sun worshiper.If I can stretch in the morning I will and I find this is key to starting my day feeling good. I Always try to drink some water before coffee or matcha first thing.
On Fragrance
At the moment I am really into natural oils as fragrance, I use my body oil from Mount Sapo instead of perfume. As a teen I used to be completely obsessed with Dior Addict which I got into from the campaigns that I adored. For years after that I wore Chanel no. 5 and Le Noir from Lebo.
