I wake up and have a cup of hot water. I used to have lemon in there, but my dentist explained that the acid damages the enamel so now it’s plain, but I love how cleansing it is.

and my essential Elequra Eye Architecture. I use Ameliorate Transforming Body lotion which has literally transformed my skin! And how about your evening routine?

I more recently was introduced to Jessica from Shen Beauty in Brooklyn, who has completely got me hooked on Irene Forte Skincare. All ingredients are grown on their own land from Rocco de Forte Hotels, all packaging both primary and secondary (glass made in Italy, boxes made in Italy from recycled materials) are sustainable, and they are manufactured in
