The Reimagined Skin Prep
The Reimagined Skin Prep
Seek joy in the small things this holiday season with a round-up of the best skincare products to get your complexion event ready, whether indoors and on zoom or for a low-key dinner with family.
Whilst we may not know the exact plans for the holiday season, one thing we can guarantee is that our skin can partake in the radiant festivities. Our plans may be scaled back but that doesn’t mean that our skincare has to suffer. Opt for a brightening and revitalising cleanse with the Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser or the Cryo Pre-Activated Toning Cleanser, both harness brightening properties to revitalise and awaken the skin for a radiant, clean and natural glow.
Opt for a hydrating burst with the Antioxidant Energising Essence, the healing and soothing properties such as Aloe Vera and Giant Kelp will help to nourish the skin and reduce any irritation. Seal in the moisturising and hydrating ingredients with the Y Theorem Day Cream, the rich and revitalising formula is vitamin, antioxidant and hyaluronic acid-infused to strengthen, plump and condition the skin whilst prepping it for any added complexion layers afterwards. Complete your prep by either adding the Rose Gold Radiance Booster to the skin or mixed in with your moisturiser to create a heavenly luminosity. The Natriance and Colloidal Gold help to harness and elicit a radiant glow that no make-up can naturally create.

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.
