When she's not playing involuntary uber driver for her teenage daughters, you’ll find Sam reading crime novels, blasting Taylor Swift, and sharing infinite wisdom in the Go-To Gang Facebook group. Fact: This Go-To customer has great skin. So, we decided to ask her how she does it.
Star Sign: Leo (but being in the last few days of Leo, I tend to have both Leo and Virgo traits).
Skin Type: Combination. I used to be an oily girl but have found that with menopause, I’m drying out more.
Skin Sign: Swan, with a Juggler rising.
Skin Concerns: Pigmentation (which has gotten worse through perimenopause), dullness, and some uneven skin tone.
Routine In A Few Words: Non-Negotiable!
AM Routine:
-
Either Nifty Fifty 50 Fluid or MECCA To Save Face (depending on my skin)
PM Routine:
I also use Swipeys twice a week and The Removalist and The Repair Shop weekly.
Any Skincare Advice: Listen to your skin. Don’t get caught up in the same routine every day just because it’s what you do. I also don’t use actives when I’m unwell or when I know I’ll be in the sun for a prolonged time, as I know my skin won’t be happy.
Don’t be afraid to try new products, you never know when your miracle product will turn up. Oh and always do your nighttime routine, no matter how much you can't be bothered. Your skin will thank you!
Favourite Skincare Ingredient: Anything soothing—my skin can be temperamental, and anything that feels calming, like it’s soothing the beast, is very welcome!
Skincare Sin: In the past, being too stuck in a routine and not being open to new products that would help my issues.
How Your Relationship With Skincare Has Changed: Now I’m older, it’s so important (and I wish I’d had someone to impress on me just how important it is) to start early and always wear sunscreen but I’m ensuring my teenage daughters are doing that for their future skin.
Where Do Your Skincare: The shower and bathroom, I have everything set up so it’s a nice ritual to go through.
Why Do You Skincare: It does give me time to start to wind down. Teenagers are hectic, so even a few minutes just taking off my day, or night products, in the morning, is something nice to do for me.
