WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY SNACK?
I add my KORA Organics Noni Glow Skinfood Supplement to water and shake for a delicious and nutritious drink. It contains Noni Extract and also many of my other favourite plant foods for healthy skin and general wellbeing, such as: Acai, Blueberry, Mangosteen, Pomegranate, Matcha Green Tea, rosehip, Chlorella and Elderberry Flower. It comes in convenient single serve sachets that are easy to use on the go, providing me with beauty and wellness benefits from the inside out!
WHAT IS YOUR MORNING BEAUTY RITUAL LIKE?
Before I shower in the morning, I dry body brush all over, it’s a great way to get the circulation going and remove any dead skin cells. In the morning I use the KORA Organics Foaming Cleanser, it’s a soap-free cleanser containing Noni Extract, Green Tea and Aloe Vera to gently cleanse without drying or stripping the skin of its natural oils. After cleansing I use the Energising Citrus Mist to tone my skin and as its name suggests, it also has really uplifting aromatherapy benefits of Lemongrass and Mandarin essential oils to awaken the senses and invigorate your skin.
Next, I apply the Noni Bright Vitamin C serum – I recently launched this product and the feedback is incredible! It contains a 12% Vitamin C Super Complex made with Kakadu Plum, Acerola Cherry, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel and Noni Extract and this unique combination helps with pigmentation, fine lines & wrinkles. It also increases skin firmness and elasticity. Then I apply the Noni Radiant Eye Oil. I add a few drops of Noni Glow Face Oil to a few pumps of the Hydrating Moisturizer and apply over my face, neck and décolletage.
I’m obsessed with our Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating 2 in 1 mask and use it 3-4 times a week as facial scrub and mini mask. It’s like an at-home facial in a tube as it brightens, deeply cleanses, reduces any inflammation and evens skin tone. I love to use it in the shower in the mornings as the peppermint aromatherapy is so invigorating and uplifting. It contains the naturally active AHAs of Papaya Enzymes and Aspen Bark to promote skin cell turnover and the Rosehip Seeds and Quartz particles provide a deep physical exfoliation.
WHAT MAKEUP PRODUCTS DO YOU USE ON A DAILY BASIS?
When I wear make-up I like to keep it clean and simple. My go to natural make up brand is RMS Beauty, it was created by a make-up artist and friend of mine. I love the RMS un-coverup concealer in 22. What I like to do is apply one or two drops of my Noni Glow Face Oil into the RMS pot and apply to my face with a makeup brush, so you can build the coverage where you need it. Then I apply my KORA Organics Rose Quartz Luminizer on the top of my brow and cheekbones. It contains finely crushed Rose Quartz to create a beautiful highlight and add a little magic! Lastly, I use my Noni Lip Tint to add a subtle touch of colour to my lips and apples of my cheeks. I also like to curl my lashes to open up the eyes, and I groom my eyebrows.
WHAT IS YOUR NIGHT TIME RITUAL LIKE?
In the evenings I double cleanse using the Cream Cleanser - it’s very nourishing and soothing on the skin as it contains Aloe Vera, Avocado and Macadamia Nut Oil. It is an awesome cleanser to gently remove makeup. I swap out the Energising Mist for the Calming Lavender Mist. Then I follow with the remainder of my routine; Noni Radiant Eye Oil, Noni Glow Face Oil and Hydrating Cream.
I apply my new Noni Glow Sleeping Mask each evening before bed, it’s a multitasking overnight face mask that’s more hydrating and restorative than a regular night cream. It contains Silver Ear Mushroom, Coconut Milk, Caviar Lime, Kakadu Plum and natural hyaluronic acid, which really plumps the skin, softens fine lines, reduces redness and inflammation, improves cell renewal, tone and texture and boosts radiance and luminosity. I love the difference it’s making to my skin! I use it as the last step in my routine before I go to bed and there’s no need to wash it off until the morning. Because it dries as a translucent veil, it locks in the moisture and won’t rub off on your pillow.
DO YOU HAVE ANY BEDSIDE BEAUTY ESSENTIALS?
Calming Lavender Mist I spritz this on my pillow before going to sleep, I also keep Hand Cream and Noni Lip Treatment by my bedside.
ANY OTHER ESSENTIALS?
Another step to my morning and evening beauty routine is our heart-shaped Rose Quartz Facial Sculptor, which harnesses the ancient healing technique known as Gua Sha. It’s a rose quartz heart-shaped stone used to massage your face and neck, and to stimulate circulation and reduce puffiness while lifting, toning and sculpting your face. I use this technique daily for a 5-minute facial massage with the Noni Glow Face Oil as it also helps it absorb deeper into your skin.
BEST TIPS ON BALANCING SELF-CARE WITH BUSY BUSINESS AND FAMILY LIFE?
It can be juggle and no two days are ever really the same, but I do my best to try and keep to a schedule and navigate through the day as calmly as possible. When I get home, I hang my work hat up at the door and be present with my family and for me that is the key to balance, but it’s not easy to switch off, it’s a conscious shift.
IS THERE A BEAUTY LESSON YOU WANT TO PASS ON TO CREAM FILES READERS?
It is so important to use certified organic ingredients. This is something I am so passionate about. What you put on your skin soaks directly into your blood stream. The skin is our largest organ and it supports the life of all our other body parts. It plays a vital role in maintaining our immune system and works 24/7 to take care of us, protect us and keep us healthy. It makes sense to look after our skin with products that replenish it and fill it with the nutrients it needs to function at its best. I believe healthy skin is the most beautiful skin.
