Want to know what the biggest names in the beauty world are using on their skin? In this series, we take a peep inside their beauty cabinet, learn their skincare routines, hero products and the top advice they’ve learned after years in the industry.
Here, we catch up with Trinny Woodall, founder of Trinny London.
TELL US YOUR MORNING/EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE.
Taking care of myself first thing sets me up for the day. I begin my morning routine with a facial massage using Trinny London Be Your Best Enzyme Balm Cleanser and my Foreo Luna 3 Facial Cleansing Brush. Next, I apply Trinny London Tiptoe in PHA Exfoliant, Trinny London Boost Up 30% Vitamin C Serum, and Trinny London Energise Me Niacinamide Moisturiser to act like a supercharged shot of hydration for my skin. I then follow with four pumps of Trinny London BFF SPF 30 Cream skin perfector, which I use as either the first step in my makeup routine or alone for sheer coverage.
And as much as I love makeup, there’s nothing better than taking it all off at the end of the day. At night, I double cleanse using the same cleanser as the morning, followed by Trinny London Better Off AHA/ PHA Gel Cleanser. When it comes to applying my leave-on products, I let them all sink in to avoid diluting the ingredients. First comes Trinny London Reveal Yourself AHA Exfoliant and then Trinny London Overnight Sensation Retinal+ Serum.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE BEAUTY HACK/TIP/PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?
My favourite hack is SPF 50 – I’m always surprised by how many people still don’t wear it every day. Another tip I swear by
is cleansing your skin every morning to wash away the ‘witches brew’ that appears overnight.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE BEAUTY TREATMENT TO GET DONE?
I really like Fractional Radio Frequency as a treatment. It’s fantastic for repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin and can help reduce wrinkles, scars, visible pores, stretch marks and uneven skin tone or texture.
DO YOU FOLLOW BEAUTY TRENDS, IF SO, WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE AT THE MOMENT?
I don’t tend to change my routine according to beauty trends but I’m always staying up to date with the newest technology in the beauty world, especially when it comes to ground-breaking ingredients and innovative formulations.
