If you were to advise a London guide, what would be on your list?
Well, As I grew up in Notting Hill, it will always have my heart and if I was recommending spots in London, a wander around Notting Hill would be high up on my list. From there it would be all the best shopping destinations, the iconic private members club, Annabels, Harrods and Liberty’s for any cute and unique gifts. I would always pop into 111CRYO at Harrods for the Cryo Facial and treatment for the ultimate recharge. Sometimes the city is great, but the beautiful secrets of the English countryside is something that should be experienced.
Your In-Flight Essentials?
I don’t have a routine per say and I am certainly not as thorough as Naomi Campbell but I would apply the Meso Infusion Lip Duo and I would always wipe my phone down with anti-bacterial wipes, in fact I do this every day, the bacteria build up is no good for the skin.
In terms of Industry, where do you see the hair industry going?
Well Instagram has changed so much and has impacted the way we consume and learn within the industry, especially with so many creatives, but I still find that a massive amount of people come to the professionals to share the knowledge on how to carry out or complete a desired look, more than ever there is power behind ‘how-to’ videos.
A very valid point and in terms of 2020?
In terms of what we are to see in 2020, things are going to be super creative and we will see a wider awareness for people doing their own thing and it will be expressive and artistic. People will move away from the overtly glamorous looks and will create looks they can tailor to their everyday. As it’s currently Award Season which is the busiest time of the year leading up to the Met Ball, hairstyles are certainly more elaborate, and everyone loves an up do. I would say the most timeless look has to be the blunt bob, it comes around year on year, but it is effortless and timeless.
Outside of hair, what other industries are you into?
I am hugely into Interiors and I would describe my style as 60s/70s glamour, think elaborate and dramatic but I often fantasise about 80s Dallas and Joan Collins and I have to reign myself in. I also love Baking; it is the ultimate way to relax and I find that it is my meditation and therapy. If I’m in the USA I would bake a lot of cookies as everyone is obsessed with then over here and in the UK, I would bake more traditional styles like a lemon tart or an apple tart – it allows for me to be creative outside of my job.
Finally, the best advice you have ever received?
It would have to be from my grandfather, he would often say to me “it’s not how well you’re doing but how well people think you’re doing”. I haven’t successfully implemented it however you can look to Instagram today and people see our work and are blown away by it, but we can be so hard on ourselves and not appreciate our own work ourselves.
The idea behind multi-masking is utilising potent ingredients to target specific concerns of the skin. For example, the idea that different areas of the face require different needs, some skin types may suffer with dryness in areas and some with oily/combination concerns but the magic that is multi-masking means you can treat your skin with a microscopic result.
Can the same be said for moisturising?
Moisturisers are comprised of emollients and hydrators or humectants. Emollients moisturise the skin, sealing in the moisture hydrators draw water to the skin, sourced from water-based products or the environment surrounding it. Whilst all moisturisers contain a mixture of both, the balance can vary dependent on the formulation. Applying this idea to the skin, parts of the face can require more emollients than hydrators and vice versa – an example being those that suffer with an oily T-Zone, across the forehead and nose will require a lighter emollient as the skin naturally produces a lot of oil from the sebaceous glands, this can mean that if applying a thick and heavy moisturiser it can cause breakouts. For the cheek areas, which may be drier, supplementing in a moisturising emollient will prove beneficial as the area produces less oil.
It is important to be in tune with your skin’s needs in order to refine your approach.
FOR OILY SKIN
Our Emulsions are designed for those with oily skin types, the lightweight version packs the same potency as our day creams but offers a lighter touch on the skin.
