Founder of her namesake jewellery brand, Noor Fares shares her morning to evening beauty routine.
Talk us through your morning routine.
I wake up in the morning at 7am and meditate while sitting in the dark on my bed. I then wash my face with the hydrating Shereene Idriss Facewash. While I brush my teeth with my sonicare toothbrush, my facewash is still on my acne prone skin. I then pat my face dry with a towel and then apply a serum followed by a light moisturizer by Shereene Idriss. However, I avoid using sunscreen unless the sun is very strong and I have to be exposed to it.
How does your evening routine differ?
I put on incense and soft music while I wash my face and brush my teeth. I take a shower or a bath. Then brush my body with a dry brush, applying upward strokes to my skin, then I put on body moisturiser. I keep the lights very dim to prepare my brain to sleep. Most nights I put on my Dennis Gross red light mask to treat acne and scarring. It also acts as an anti-ageing. I get in bed with my kids who are already asleep and read a chapter of a book. I avoid using electronic devices at night. Luckily, I am a good sleeper, and I fall asleep within minutes of switching off the lights and putting my head on my pillow. I like to use a silk pillow to avoid creases on my skin when I wake up.

What are your go-to skincare products?
I tend to use gentle, non-irritating skincare products that soothe and protect the skin’s barrier. Some go-to skincare products include the Shereene Idriss Major Fade Hyper Serum, The Biologique Recherche Lotion P50, The Laroche Posay Zinc Spray, the Kama Ayurveda Body Wash and the Quantaderm Body Cream.
Are you a fan of masks?
Yes, I love doing a mask once or twice a week. My go to mask is Cellcosmet, which combines
revolutionary cellular technology leaving my skin super soft.
How would you describe your approach to makeup?
I have very sensitive skin that is prone to breaking out so even though I love makeup, I try not to wear it on every day. I enjoy doing my own makeup and I am a fan of glitter and shimmer.
What can always be found in your makeup bag?
I always tend to keep my makeup quite natural for a youthful look. Hence, most of my makeup products include, the Atelier Westman foundation stick, the Atelier Westman highlighter, the Simihaze lipstick, the Huda Beauty mascara and Tom Ford liquid eyeliner.
Which fragrance are you loving at the moment?
Sana Jardin Jaipur Chant because the scent transports me to India. Sana Jardin is an eco-conscious brand who uses flower waist to produce natural perfumes. I always wear the same for evening.
Talk us through your hair routine.
I only wash my hair thoroughly once a week with two shampoos and conditioner. On other
days I just rinse it and apply conditioner on the ends. I use the Rahua shampoo and
conditioner.
What is the most unusual item in your makeup bag?
An Estée Lauder face roller.
