KATE RITCHIE
The popular actress, radio announcer, author – and mum! – shares her busy, beautiful life
Tell us about your role with Jockey? My role with Jockey is to kickstart the She’s Got The Power campaign and launch their AW19 range. To show women blazing through their day with a unique twist. I’m here to tell women that Jockey can be their secret weapon, for all styles, all occasions. And invisibility when required! What do you think makes a woman powerful?
Apart from having the best fitting underwear and magic powers in her arsenal? Knowing who she is, but always using that in a respectful, positive way. Displaying confidence and authority along with kindness goes a long way in my books. What’s your favourite piece from the Jockey range and why? No-one likes a panty line so it has to be all of the NPLP pieces (the No Panty Line Promise). You have beautiful skin. Can you share your skincare routine?
Thank you. When it comes to my skincare routine, QV skincare has that covered. From my face to my body. My routine is about consistency and loads of hydration. Has it changed much since becoming a mum?
Apart from a few extra lines, it has remained pretty much the same!
What are your favourite treatments to get?
Above all, a good massage. The harder, the better.
And favourite salon/spa? Skin Clinic @ Blyss for a skin treat, Lemonade Hair Boutique for the best wash and blow-dry before work, and I never go past Gee Gee Brows for the brow department and Pretty Bird in Balmain for the rest! You turned 40 last year. Did you have a big celebration?
I watched the sunrise solo and ended the day by eating pippies in XO sauce while drinking champagne with my family. What defines beauty to you?
Outside my garden ... Anyone who is comfortable in their own skin.
You’ve published two children’s books. What’s your favourite thing about the writing process? The incredible team of women at Penguin that I have had the pleasure of working with.
