My beauty philosophy is… Don’t stress about the little things. I have psoriasis so I know it’ s not the end of the world if you get a pimple. Smile until your face hurts.
The skincare products I can’t live without are… L’Oréal sunscreen. They don’t sell it here any more! I’m so upset. I have to get people to bring it home from overseas. I also love Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel and Trilogy Rosehip Oil.
My haircare secrets is… Seawater and sunshine. People say it wrecks your hair but I love how natural it makes it look. Mine goes blonder and wavier. On her wedding day my hairdresser just went swimming in the ocean in the morning and let her hair dry. Yep, you heard it here.
The must-have products in my makeup bag are… MAC Strobe Cream. I mix it with foundation or wear it by itself. It makes your face sparkle. I also must have MAC’s Lipstick in Pink and their lipgloss in Deelight.
My favourite beauty treat is… Kevin Murphy’s Angel Wash Shampoo and Conditioner. It’s pricey but well worth it. Smells terrific.
My biggest beauty sin is… Letting my eyebrows go wild. A makeup artist once told me it was fashionable not to pluck them.
The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was… Wear sunscreen. Drink litres of water. Sleep well. Be kind.
