From the products she reaches for first thing to the rituals she swears by, these are the essentials that make up her morning routine.

I actually use it to wash my underwear in the shower – a tip I picked up from my friend Lorraine who’s French. I use the soap on my body afterwards and I love it because I clean away any toxins and start my day feeling so fresh and clean. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/DBT1FEfTxyGQB8THvKBpTU3V7aA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fcassandra-grey-sunscreen.jpg) ](https://ninthavenue.uk/products/isdin-eryfotona-ageless-tinted-mineral-sunscreen-for-face-spf-50-zinc-oxide-formula-helps-repair-sun-damage-17-floz-travelsize-tube-water-resistant-and-noncomedogenic) ## Eryfotona Ageless Tinted Mineral Sunscreen #### ISDIN | £91.22 (was £152.03) I am religious about wearing sunscreen to protect my face from harmful UV rays. Not all SPFs are created equal but one I swear by and use every morning is the Isdin Eryfotona Ageless SPF 50.

It’s the perfect option for girls who don’t like the feel of traditional lipstick. [Hope Smith](https://www.instagram.com/hopesmith/) – founder of Mutha – gave me a lab sample and I’m addicted. It’s the perfect colour with a matte-but-hydrated texture. It comes out in the autumn, so it’s one to have on your radar. --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/cWjmZcJK6GMmRB-oy5OdirTY8Yg=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fcassandra-greyl-glutamine.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=54585&awinaffid=69421&platform=dl&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fancientandbrave.earth%2Fproducts%2Ftrue-biome) ## True Biome #### Ancient + Brave | From £28.80 One recent discovery that has earned a place in my morning routine is L-glutamine powder. There are lots of different benefits but I love it for supporting my gut health. It was recommended to me by my friend [Emily Oberg](https://www.instagram.com/emilyoberg/), CEO and founder of [Sporty & Rich](https://sportyandrich.com/), who encouraged me to give it a go after I asked her how her stomach is so perfect.

I worked on it for years and the final version was created in collaboration with master perfumer Jérôme Epinette. I can’t be without it.
