My favorite products

I love products that leave my skin glowing and silky, which is why the Restorative Day Face Oil is a winner; it has a wonderfully light yet deeply hydrating formula, leaving my skin feeling beautifully refreshed in the mornings. 

The Restorative Eye Serum is full of natural nutrients like green tea and pomegranate, which help to reduce dark circles and puffiness. 

I’m also a big fan of the Hydrating and Resilience Face Lotion because it helps protect skin against all kinds of external aggressions both throughout the day and all year round, and it also works well as a pre-makeup primer.

My favorite product

The Purifying Gel Cleanser has a beautiful texture that my skin adores, and it contains aloe vera which is healing and minimises inflammation in my sensitive skin. 

A daily go-to, the Radiance Day Face Oil does it all; hydrate, nourish, and protect. It’s so light that I use it for shoots because it glows up my skin without feeling heavy or greasy, with or without makeup. 

Lastly, the Restorative Hand Cream is my skincare indulgence. Its all-in-one formula rejuvenates and brightens, and is great for preventing and improving age spots. I wind down with it in the evenings  so that it can do its restorative work overnight. It hydrates right down to the cuticles, and has even helped strengthen my nails. My mum is always trying to pinch it!

What are your top tips to maintain a youthful complexion thru face yoga?

Hydration from inside and out is one of the key elements for healthy glowing skin. Making sure to drink plenty of water and nourish your skin with the right products. Most important thing with face yoga and face massage is consistency.

What does self-care mean to you?

Self-care means carving out time in the day for little rituals that nourish our body and mind. Be it taking your time to make a delicious cup of tea or taking 5 minutes in the evening in bed to massage your shoulders.

How do you take care of your skin in the winter?

I up my intake of essential fatty acids. That could be supplemented by Omega 3,6 supplements or by eating more oily fish and nuts. I also choose a richer moisturiser or oil in the colder months to protect from the elements. And SPF. Always.

As you travel a lot, what are your travel must haves when on the road?

A good hand cream is a must. I love Almora Botanica’s Restorative Hand Cream. It is so hydrating, but sinks into the skin beautifully without leaving steaks or my skin feeling greasy. A facial mist or spray for that quick boost of hydration. And a good lip balm.

What are some personal rituals you use to unwind?

A warm bath, a hot cocoa with some adaptogenic powders, a slow self-massage and maybe a guided meditation.

What does your beauty routine consist of?

I change my routine through the year according to the time of the year and I try to be observant and reactive to what my skin needs at different stages of the month. I always double cleanse in the evening, followed by a toner. Then it’s time for a serum and that really depends on what my skin needs that day - hydration, exfoliation, brightening. I then apply my moisturiser or an oil. Spf is the last step in the morning.

What advice do you have for beginners looking to start a face yoga practice?

Just begin. That’s the hardest part. Try to include it into your skincare application morning or evening and then it will become a natural part of your daily routine. Make it a habit, rather than a special treat.

Can you share any success stories from individuals who have seen significant improvements in their skin thru consistent face yoga?

I have a lot of followers and clients that have been practicing with me for years and the benefits range from the obvious improves lines, wrinkles, sculpted jawlines to improved mental health and wellbeing. Creating small rituals like that can boost your mood, give you purpose when you struggle to find one and nourish the feeling of self-love and appreciation for your body

How does face yoga complement traditional skincare routines and does it really work?

I would say to see real benefits you need to be consistent with both. Face yoga and massage work with deeper layers of your skin and tissues, whereas skincare is a topical product. So in combination they do not only improve your skin, but also release tension, tone and sculpt,
