Fashion influencer, creative director, and entrepreneur, Chriselle Lim is the definition of a modern self-made woman. Here, from her content studio CINC, she joins Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to reveal her everyday essentials for skin care, postpartum recovery, and more.
For most of her career, Zoë Foster Blake was on a mission to find the best beauty products, first as beauty director at legacy media titles such as Cosmopolitan and Harper's Bazaar Australia, and then through her own sites: a blog called fruitybeauty in 2006 and Primped in 2008. In 2014, after years of reviewing and recommending, she wanted to create something of her own and launched skincare line Go-To.
Go-To Exfoliating Swipeys. Exfoliating pads, sometimes called peel pads, are an effective and convenient mode of chemical exfoliation.

Like most people, I love a skin-care routine that's simple, yet effective. I've been in love with the brand Go-To for a while now, but it wasn't until recently that I started using the brand's Exfoliating Swipeys more frequently. I've been dealing with random breakouts, and when I use these at night, I notice a difference in the morning after.

Plus, it smells like fresh jasmine.
