Talk us through your morning routine.
I like to start with journaling and a quick Pilates session, it sets the right tone for my day. I then proceed to my skincare routine. I love cooling my face with ice cubes, it feels s refreshing and of course, a matcha to kickstart my day. I can’t begin the day without it.
How does your evening routine differ?
My evenings are usually slower. I double cleanse with my tea in hand, watch a movie or documentary, and often call my family before bed. It’s my little pre-sleep ritual, to ensure I have a calm mind during the night.
What are your go-to skincare products?
I start with the Guerlain 24K Gold Serum, a touch of pure luxury that instantly preps my skin with a subtle radiance. For a quick hydration boost throughout the day, I reach for the d’Alba White Truffle Serum Spray, a mist that gives my skin that dewy “just-landed in-Seoul” glow. To even out my complexion, Eucerin’s Even Pigment Perfector has been a quiet game-changer, helping to fade spots and bring balance over time. Also, no routine is complete without SPF, Augustinus Bader’s The Mineral Sunscreen seals everything in with a silky finish, offering protection that feels more like skincare than sun care. Together, they form the perfect balance of science with results-driven simplicity.
Are you a fan of masks?
Always. Especially before a shoot or event. Nothing gives me that fresh, glowy look faster.
How would you describe your approach to makeup?
Less is more. I focus on the base and let my skin breathe. Makeup for me is about enhancing my features, not hiding.
What can always be found in your makeup bag?
When it comes to makeup, I’m incredibly particular. It’s all about products that feel good and look effortless. My Rare Beauty blush is a non-negotiable; just a single dab gives that fresh, natural flush that instantly lifts my face. I follow it up with the Dior Lip Glow Butter, a go-to for a soft, glossy tint that keeps my lips hydrated all day. And tucked in every bag I own is my Touchland sanitizer, practical, yes, but also part of my ritual. Together, they’re my on-the-go trio of equal parts beauty, comfort, and confidence.
Which fragrances are your current favourites?
Fragrances instantly give me that boost during the day. Right now, my vanity closet has Tom Ford’s Vanilla Fatale. I love the smoky nuances with a hint of woody notes, making it the perfect day-to-night scent. For me, the Guerlain Absolus Allegoria range, which takes inspiration from nature, is my favourite. Also, Byredo Blanche’s contrasting notes with rose petals and sandalwood last all day. They feel like me.
Talk us through your hair routine.
I keep it simple. Weekly oiling, good supplements, and healthy shampoos. Honestly, eating right helped my hair more than anything.
What is the most unusual item in your makeup bag?
A jade roller, it’s not exactly a practical on-the-go skincare tool, however it’s my secret weapon for a quick refresh.
What is elegance to you?
For me, elegance is being comfortable in your own skin. It’s all about confidence, simplicity, and kindness.
