Why Supplements?
WHY SUPPLEMENTS?
WHY SUPPLEMENTS?
Healthy skin is more than a tailored skincare routine and balanced diet, it starts on a cellular level and what you put in your body, circulates to the surface and reflects on your skin.
The supplement industry has been growing year on year with an estimated global value of $3.89bn in 2017 according to Cosmetic Business and by 2027 this is expected to rise by an exciting 4.8%. Within the UK alone, according to Kantar, between 2018 and 2019, the industry gained 14% in value with the average spend predicted to increase from £1.13 to £13.42.
So why supplements? Supplements and especially beauty supplements are designed to combine vitamins, minerals and other influential bioactive ingredients to enhance, bolster and support the microbiome which results in greater skin.
"I have always assessed the gut and skin connection; both are advertently synchronised and bidirectional in function when it comes to optimising the skin’s health, understanding this intimate link developed the formulation of our Supplement range. Supplements, through their oral bioavailability hack into the cellular ecosystem that exists between the gut and skin microbiome and therefore their bioactive compound makes it essential for the skin’s homeostasis to be supported. Each supplement targets the main skin concerns that I see with patients in the clinic and customers worldwide, they are the advanced solution that compliment a healthy, balanced lifestyle and skincare routine".

Efficient supplements and results driven skincare come together in a perfect synergy and since launching the Reparative Beauty Dose it has quickly become a best-selling mark within the brand.
"Supplements enhance the health of the skin from the inside out and by balancing the skin’s ecosystem they are an essential part of any beauty routine. I have seen the transformative results that our Reparative Beauty Dose offers and so it was a natural progression for us to introduce two more to the range. The Clarity Beauty Dose and Intensive Beauty Dose are our supplement solution towards a clarified and ageless appearance and together all three promise to bolster immunity, recolonise the health of the gut and advance the internal self".

Vitamin C is essential in the body’s natural collagen synthesis, helping to heal post-inflammatory pigmentation and relieve dry, dehydrated and damaged skin.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid:
A soothing vitamin-like antioxidant that is both water and fat soluble, Alpha-Lipoic Acid is capable of energising Vitamins E and C to function at their peak performance. It is also a cofactor to at least 5 enzymatic reactions, making it crucial for digestion, absorption, and the creation of energy. Present in the mitochondria, it has previously been referred to as 'The Elixir of Life'.
Chlorella:
A freshwater algae rich in protein and omegas, this superfood has potent detoxifying properties for heavy metals while enhancing immune function.

The leading sulphur-containing amino acid that plays a vital role in the cell’s physiology as an antioxidant and in breaking down fats and metals.
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.
