BEAUTY SCHOOL

THIS SKINCARE GURU’S TOP BEAUTY LESSONS INCLUDE THE CORRECT WAY TO ORGANISE YOUR PRODUCTS AND A BEDTIME ROUTINE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

DRINK WATER, WEAR SUNSCREEN

Outside of maintaining a consistent skincare routine and always wearing SPF, my three biggest skincare tips would be to drink plenty of water, nourish your body with healthy wholefoods and incorporate activities that help to minimise stress, whatever those may look like to you.

THINK HOLISTICALLY

Embodying beauty is as much about kindness, compassion, empathy and love as it is about skincare ingredients. It’s about who you are as a person and how you choose to show up in the world.

DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN TRENDS

Trust the products that you know work for you. If you’re looking to try something new, do your research and look for products that have independent testing behind them to prove their effectiveness. Also look into their ethical and environmental practices and if you have questions, reach out to them and ask.

ORGANISE BY ROUTINE

I like to keep my products in the order I use them and ensure they are easy to access. When products are tucked away, it’s easy to forget about them.

MAKE AN EVENING RITUAL

I start with my skincare, allowing it to be a ritual in the evening. I try my best to keep technology out of our bedroom, avoid screens 30 minutes before bed, and have a chamomile tea to help me relax and unwind. I also like to play a guided meditation or do some deep breathing.

FEEL FREE TO UNFOLLOW

If Instagram or Tiktok accounts are making you feel pressured to be more than you are, unfollow them. Social media can be a very challenging place, but it also has the potential to be a beautiful online community. Protecting your energy is very important – so is surrounding yourself with a community both online and offline that are there to support you exactly as you are.

DON’T COMPARE

My parents taught me to never compare myself to others, and this has always stuck with me. Beauty truly does come from the inside, and what makes you beautiful is your individuality.
