Mum to Maisie, pilates loyalist, and real Go-To customer, Kirsten, thrives off structure—courtesy of her day job as a client engagement manager. Her skincare routine is no different. At 43, she’s moved beyond the basics to focus on glow-boosting, barrier-loving skincare that feels just as good as it looks. Her non-negotiables? A retinal sandwich, a strong moisturiser, and never missing a cleanse. We decided to ask Kirsten, how do you skincare?
