One Step I’d Never Skip…

Nothing has transformed my skin quite like Skin Activator. I have struggled with rosacea for years and our smart, skin-identical system releases 12 actives in layers without disrupting your skin. Everything just feels happier, calmer, juicer and firmer after each use. I apply it day and night. Even my husband, David, swears by it.

The In-Clinic Treatment I Love…

My focus is always on enhancing skin health. Treatments should support rather than replace an efficacious skincare routine. I am partial to laser, which helps with hyperpigmentation and brightening. Another favourite is Morpheus8, it’s rough but fantastic for pore refining.

My Golden Rule…

Go slow when introducing new actives. You can find products that are highly potent but still ultra-gentle. Many believe you need to use harsh actives to improve your skin. I developed contact dermatitis from an overly harsh product that is very popular. That experience sparked my journey to create skincare that soothes, while simultaneously improving the quality of the skin.

One Affordable Buy I Rate…

Avène Thermal Spring Water is perfect for an on-the-go spritz of hydration.

My Most Underrated Ingredient…

I struggle with texture and tone so I love niacinamide but I’m also into vitamin C. Suprême C is the most potent yet gentle vitamin C serum you will ever try. It’s made from tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a vitamin C derivative that’s ultra-stable and extremely effective. Everything just feels brighter after application. 

The Gadgets I Swear By…

I love the MMSphere LED Light Therapy Device. There are nine different settings and I’ve been using the green one to treat hyperpigmentation and brighten my complexion. I also love the TheraBody TheraFace Mask. The combination of LED light therapy and gentle massage makes it an essential part of my wind-down routine. 

The Lifestyle Factors That Make All The Difference…

Staying hydrated is the most timeless skincare hack in the world. I carry a giant Stanley around everywhere to make sure I stay hydrated all day long. It’s 64 ounces and sometimes it feels comically large, but it works. 

There is never enough time for sleep and I am always searching for effective supplements that can help me get quality rest, like HealthyCell REM Sleep MicroGel. Also, I try to avoid alcohol as it can cause my rosacea to flare. There are so many delicious alternatives it doesn't have to feel like a sacrifice. Aplós Calme with ice, a squeeze of lemon and a splash of Fever Tree Sparkling Water is so satisfying. I am addicted to how good a clear mind and a great night’s sleep feel. My skin feels better, my rosacea is more manageable and my energy is more consistent. 

My Ride-Or-Dies…

To protect my face from UV rays, I wear SPF by EltaMD or Dune Suncare’s The Mug Guard. I’m also a big fan of U Beauty The Super Hydrator and Lesse Calming Cleanser. But I’m always dreaming about what my perfect cleanser and moisturiser combination would be. Maybe I’ll create it…
