What’s your number one beauty obsession?
Every woman wants beautiful, glowing skin. And in my profession, I have no option but to nourish and look after mine. My daily routine involves three basic steps of cleansing (using Kora Foaming Cleanser), toning (Kora Energizing Citrus Mist) and moisturizing (Kora Hydrating Day and Night Cream). I also use Kora Luxurious Rose Hip Oil, as it’s full of essential fatty acids and antioxidant-rich qualities.

What beauty routines do you swear by?
First thing in the morning, I have a glass of warm water with fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice is great for detoxing, alkalizing the body and improving digestion. I also scrub my entire body with a dry brush—it stimulates blood lymph flow, exfoliates your skin, and encourages new cell growth.

Anything else?
I eat fresh, organic produce as much as I can. It’s important to fill your body with nutritious foods—being healthy on the inside really results in healthy, glowing skin.

What’s the one piece of natural beauty advice you’d give people?
What we put on our skin soaks in—use organic.

Skin care aside, how do you keep your skin so luminous?

I drink lots of water. I use lemon and ginger. I believe it’s one of the most beneficial ways to slow the aging process. Also, it is so important to clean your skin every night before bed. They say leaving make up on can cause your skin to age and become wrinkly almost three times faster then usual. It can also lead to break outs and acne.

  

What is your favourite lip colour?

I love a matt-cream red lipstick.

What make up items can’t you live without? 

Organic Priti Nail Polish, $17.95, www.iamnaturalstore.com.au. Two of my favourite colors are Mother of Pearl Peony for a natural finish look and Flamecreeper Red for a fun, vibrant splash of colour. And Utowa Eyelash Curler, $45 www.meccacosmetics.com.au, is a must and the KORA Organics Tinted Day Cream, $59.95, from David Jones or www.koraorganics.com.au
