About

I want to think I'm the typical over-45, balancing family, work, life, and a sport I love.

What started out as a search for an uncomplicated skincare routine to fit in with my life (especially those 5am starts) has been a labour of love (and trial and error)

Most mornings I can be found swimming, running or cycling before heading off to work. Chlorine, the environment and long days can take a toll on the skin.

I didn't want a 7-step morning/evening skincare routine that was complicated and time-consuming.

Consistency is the key to good skincare, so my search for basic products that work began. I wanted something that I would consistently use, wasn't overly complicated and worked for my lifestyle.

I personally test every product before it's launched, if I don't love it, then no one will see it.

So what is my morning skincare routine?

It's effortless, cleanse with my Botanicals cream cleanser, moisturise with Botanicals - Hydrating moisturiser, followed by the eye Botanicals eye cream and of course sunscreen.
