My beauty philosophy is…
Look outward. Eat well. Wear a hat. Don’t look in the mirror too often – those are laugh lines all right!
The skincare products I can’t live without are…
Crocodile Skin Cream, handmade in central Hawke’s Bay by Millstream Gardens. They also make the most fabulous Rose Hand Salve – I’m a gardener and this is the best I’ve found. Trilogy Rosehip Oil is also wonderful for the skin.
My haircare secret is…
Eco Store Shampoo and Conditioner. Clean and green – I love their products.
The must-have products in my make-up bag are…
My MAC Lipstick and Powerpoint Eye Pencil and my Cancer Society SPF 30+ Sunscreen.
My favourite beauty treat is…
My veggie garden. I try new things every year, but am never without berries, tomatoes, spinach, celery, onions, apricots, figs and peaches – full of vitamins and minerals.
My biggest beauty sin is…
Never having had a pedicure! My feet, so vital, so taken for granted. Maybe this year…
The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was…
Less is more. A dash of lipstick and a spring in your step is all that you need.
