Life
Talk us through your morning routine.
My morning starts from within, with meditation and gratitude. Then, I use a Gua Sha or Medicube Age-R device to depuff and boost blood flow. For products, I layer The Treatment Lotion by La Mer, Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum, and SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. My skin leans dry, so I love rich Korean skincare bases like the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule Cream and EPii Double Up Cream. I also love DUA x Augustinus Bader Renewal Cream. Throughout the day, I top up my hydration with Rhode Glazing Mist, so I take daily electrolytes for cellular hydration, vitamin C, and glutathione.
How does your evening routine differ?
Nighttime is all about cleansing and cell renewal. I use the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, then exfoliate with the GENOSYS EPI Turnover Boosting Peeling Gel or Medicube Zero Pore Pads. Next, I apply Lancôme Tonique Confort to soothe my skin barrier. On certain nights, I use retinol. Otherwise, I focus on intense hydration, finishing with the VT Cosmetics PDRN Essence 100 and a Rejuran moisturiser to plump my skin while I sleep.
What are your go-to skincare products?
Korean skincare, without a doubt. Specifically, anything packed with advanced PDRN and multi-molecular hyaluronic acid for ultimate healing and plumping.
Are you a fan of masks?
Obsessed. My favourites are the Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask, left on overnight for glass skin, and the d’Alba Piedmont White Truffle Nourishing Treatment Mask.
How would you describe your approach to makeup?
I actually like when minor imperfections still show through – I love when makeup enhances your look rather than alters your face.
What can always be found in your makeup bag?
My absolute beauty essentials: Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer, my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer, an IBROU eyebrow gel, and a Huda Beauty lip liner stain.
Which fragrances are your current favourites?
My signature is Kilian Liaisons Dangereuses, which I’ve worn since 2010. Right now, I am also loving Kilian Angels’ Share for warmth and Thomas Kosmala No. 4 Après l’Amour for a fresh, magnetic scent.
Walk us through your hair routine.
My hair is naturally soft and straight, so I focus strictly on my scalp health. Weekly, I use the Christophe Robin Purifying Scalp Scrub with Sea Salt. For daily care, I swear by the Dr. FORHAIR Folligen Original Shampoo and Treatment line, paired with the Balmain Paris Moisturizing Hair Mask for my hair ends.
What is the most unusual item in your makeup bag?
The Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint and the Chanel Baume Essentiel Glow Stick. They are unusual because they look completely undetectable on the skin. The tint feels like pure water when blended, and the balm adds zero heavy glitter or shimmer. Together, they create a fresh, effortless glow that looks exactly like morning dew.
