What was the first piece of skincare advice you ever received and who was it from?  

It was from my dermatologist during my early teenage years, and it left a lasting impression on me. It was about the essential practice of wearing sunscreen diligently, whether indoors or outdoors, leaving the house of staying in. Since then, I've embraced this advice wholeheartedly, making it a cherished part of my daily routine. 

This simple yet vital step has been a key factor in nurturing my skin's health and ensuring it stays protected from the harmful effects of UV rays.

As we learn from each other - What’s the worst skincare fail you’ve made?

Thankfully, I haven't encountered any significant skincare fails because I am very cautious and thoroughly research before incorporating any products or routines. I prioritise proper makeup removal, avoid excessive exfoliation, always wear SPF, and carefully select active ingredients in my skincare regimen. Being informed and cautious is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

We know you love to practice mindfulness, can you tell us more?

Mindfulness practice is essential for my overall well-being. It helps me stay present, reduce stress, and maintain a sense of balance amidst the daily challenges and responsibilities. Whether it's through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simply taking mindful moments throughout the day, I find that it greatly contributes to my mental clarity and emotional resilience.

How do you support beauty from the inside out? 

Regular exercise is a fundamental part of my routine, and I work out at least 3-4 times a week. This not only keeps me physically fit but also boosts my mood and energy levels. Hydration is also key, and I prioritize drinking 3 liters of water each day to keep my skin and body working at an optimal level.

In addition to my diet and exercise, I firmly believe in the power of inner beauty products and supplements. I incorporate various beneficial ingredients into my daily routine, whether by adding enriched powerful ingredients like Ashwagandha, Maca, Reishi, and more to my food or through supplements.  

I understand that beauty starts from within which allows me to nurture my body and mind with wholesome practices and nourishing products, that support in radiating a healthy and vibrant glow from within that reflects my overall well-being.

Overall, embracing a holistic approach to beauty, where I prioritize nourishing myself from the inside out, has proven to be a rewarding and fulfilling journey. It not only enhances the external appearance but also fosters a sense of balance, confidence, and self-care in your daily life.

 

What product is next on your skincare wish list?

The Dior Prestige Le Cérémonial kit I recently acquired, which I'm planning to incorporate into my regimen soon. It’s always fulfilling to explore new products that can enhance my skincare regimen and help me achieve healthier and glowing skin.

Books or Podcasts?

I find myself drawn to the world of books and the joy of reading, which brings me a unique experience and connection with the content. While I appreciate the appeal of podcasts and audiobooks for many, I personally don't enjoy listening to them as much. Instead, my favorite way to absorb content is through reading books, as it allows me to immerse myself fully.

How does your evening beauty routine differ to your morning routine?

I focus on rejuvenation and nourishing my skin after a long day.

Makeup Removal, Cleanse, Acid Toner for exfoliation - promoting a smoother and more refined texture, Eye Cream - For my delicate eye area, a Serum targeted at regeneration and repair and lastly – lip care.

While my evening routine may be more extensive and targeted towards repair and rejuvenation, my morning routine primarily focuses on protection, hydration, and preparing my skin for the day ahead.

I firmly believe that consistency and adapting to my skin's needs are key factors in achieving and maintaining a healthy and glowing complexion.

You definitely know your beauty – what is the best skincare advice you would share?

Prioritise.. and invest in quality products that suit your skin's needs. Embrace a holistic approach by focusing on both internal and external factors. Maintain a consistent routine with products that you love and believe in, as well as ones that have proven effective for you.

Remember to stay hydrated, nourish your body with a balanced diet, and incorporate inner beauty products and supplements that promote overall well-being. Finally, remain open to exploring new hero products while being mindful of the ingredients and brands you choose. Taking your skincare routine seriously and customizing it to your unique skin type and concerns will help you achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin for the long term.
