When and how did you first develop a love for skincare?

“It’s been a long journey, but I’ve always been obsessed with skincare. Working in the entertainment industry, I find I’m often wearing a face full of make-up and, with the occasional late night, looking after my skin has become increasingly important.

“I first developed a love of skincare when I was a teenager and used to steal my mum’s face scrubs. Now I’m much gentler with my skin but I’ve always had a handful of products that I’ve used since I was a kid. I still get a little lazy with routine, but I’m getting better at making sure I squeeze it in. That’s why I love a mask, it’s like a quick hydration hit.”

How did you decide on a mask and eye patches?

“I first started wearing masks as I was travelling a lot and learned that being on flights really dried your skin out, so I got into the habit of wearing face masks on flights and it became a bit of a thing. Being on the go all the time, I found I was using masks and eye patches all the time on my way to jobs and discovered which ones I loved and which ones I didn’t.

“If you know me, you may have seen me post them all over my Instagram Stories and having tried and tested a lot, I thought why don’t I take all the best bits [from the ones I’ve loved in the past] and put them into my own product?”
