My beauty philosophy is…
Take a few moments everyday for yourself; whether it’s stopping to smell the spring blossoms, a walk in the park or a cup of tea with a good magazine. Slowing down, breathing and finding that place of calm brings wonderful benefits to both your wellbeing and your skin.
The skincare products I can’t live without are…
True Hydrating Facial Cleanser and True Hydrating FaceCream. They make my skin feel nourished and smell divine. Another longtime staple that I totally love is Dr Hauschka Eye Contour Day Balm to help protect from any envirnomental damage. Their Translucent Bronze Concentrate is also great for a healthy summer glow. A new favourite is REN Glycolactic Radiance RenewalMask – sounds scary, but it’s based on natural fruit acids and really makes the skin look radiant.
My haircare secret is…
I’ve got naturally curly hair and it loves being drenched in organic coconut oil. I pile it on every few weeks and give myself a good scalp massage at the same time. You can leave it on overnight as a treatment, but cover your pillowcase with a towel – it’s messy!
The must-have products in my make-up bag are…
For me, less is more when it comes to make-up. My staples are Inika mascara, Antipodes MineralPowder and MACCremesheen GlassDeelight Lipgloss.
My favourite beauty treat is…
A long soak in the bath surrounded by floating lavender from my garden. Pure bliss – until the children want to jump in!
My biggest beauty sin is…
The sun. I spend a lot of time outdoors breathing lungfuls of fresh mountain air, but alas my skin has had its fair share of exposure. I wear a hat in summer and do apply sunscreen every now and then, maybe not enough.
The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was…
Age is just a number. Enjoy life no matter what the number.
