We get the social media superstar to share her best skincare tips below.
How long do you typically spend on your skincare routine?
I usually spend five to 10 minutes on my skincare routine in the morning and at night.
What is your skincare routine like for the day?
Typically, my mornings are really fast-paced, so I need to get ready quite quickly during the day, so I cleanse, apply a vitamin C serum, face cream, and finish up with sunscreen. However, if it's a Sunday morning I try to spend a little bit more time on my skin. I like to use beauty tools such as facial rollers which are great massagers, not to mention they help reduce swelling and redness. Gua sha rollers are also considered to be a form of natural botox that everyone is talking about so if I can squeeze this in the mornings my day has already started out wonderfully!
What is your skincare routine for the night?
In the evenings, I’ll double cleanse to remove makeup, apply a retinol product, and finish off with a hydrating cream. Twice a week, I’ll also apply a face mask after cleansing depending on what my skin needs. I do think that regularly applying a facemask has been a game-changer for me both in terms of making this a self-care activity but also because a good face mask is basically an at-home facial. My favourite has to be 111skin’s Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask which really nourishes and brightens my complexion. At night I also like to hop into the shower and apply some clay from Kion Cosmetics and a seed scrub, which helps with circulation and stimulates oxygenation of the skin while nourishing it, then I’ll unwind with a good face mask while reading a book and sip on a glass of red wine which seems like the perfect way to end a long day!
