My beauty philosophy is…

Sleep! Nothing robs you of your looks like not getting enough of it. I looked 10 years older than I do now when I was up all night with my baby. Luckily you can recover from that. Also, stand up straight! People spend so much time worrying about their weight when half the battle would be won if they just improved their posture.

The skincare products I can’t live without are…

The Régima range – finally available in New Zealand. It treats sun damage, stopped me getting stretch marks when I was pregnant, removed pigmentation and makes my skin glow.

My haircare secret is…

I drink kombucha, which is a fermented tea that makes your hair and nails grow like weeds.

The must-have products in my make-up bag are…

Régima Vitamin B Complex with natural sunblock; Andalou Naturals All-in-One Beauty Balm sheer tint; MAC CrèmeBlend Blush which I use on lips, cheeks and upper eyelids; and any ivory-coloured eyeshadow for the inner eyelid and top of the cheekbone and brow bone.

My favourite beauty treat is…

When I can afford it, a salon Régima peel to brighten, a Caci Clinic facial for a lift, and IPL for a collagen boost.

My biggest beauty sin is…

Coffee and champagne. Fun but dehydrating.

The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was…

Drink hot lemon water. Keeping the body alkaline is one of the biggest secrets of good skin and good health in general. Another brilliant way to do that is drinking a fresh juice in the morning.
