My Beauty Secrets: Dr Kathleen Wills

Beauty Secrets Kathleen Wills

Aucklander Dr Kathleen Wills (38) is an expert in holistic health.

My beauty philosophy is…

Take care of you! If you look after your body, mind and heart you’ll naturally glow.

The skincare products I can’t live without are…

All natural. I love Living Nature Purifying Cleanser. For rejuvenated skin and a deep sleep, I use ecostore body butter after my ritual lavender oil evening bath. I also create beauty products with healthy plants and foods. witch hazel extract is a wonder toner for oily skin. For the occasional spot or dry skin I reach for organic coconut oil. I create a purifying and moisturising mask with natural avocado and raw oatmeal.

My haircare secret is…

Ecostore shampoo and conditioner for dry, damaged or coloured hair. For my brunette locks, I love using a hair mask of organic molasses or at the beach an organic coconut oil for a quick, deep-conditioning hair fix.

The must-have products in my make-up bag are…

Organic and mineral-based. I love the Nude by Nature line of mineral make-up and my fabulous Living Nature lipstick.

My favourite beauty treat is…

Warm oil massaged in with hot stones at Formé spa. With the stones placed on my chakras (energy centres in the body), the stress just melts away. Feeling at peace with myself makes me feel beautiful.

My biggest beauty sin is…

Forgetting to take my daily probiotic. Probiotics help keep bacteria in our guts balanced to prevent ghastly facial spots.

The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was…

Never go to bed with your make-up on. It clogs pores and doesn’t allow the skin time to breathe.
