What are your top beauty tips?

The old classics – drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. I get at least eight hours a night.

What was your worst beauty disaster?

I waxed my legs once the night before a w
edding and got a big rash. In the end I had to wear tights.

What's your favourite beauty product?

Hydrating Cleansing Milk and Floral Spafresh from E'spa. The Spafresh is a light moisturiser as well, and they both smell gorgeous.

Would you ever consider having cosmetic surgery?

I'd maybe go for an eye-lift or something, but not botox – I'm a bit frightened of that.

What are your best and worst features?

My skin is probably my best feature. I stay out of the sun and all that sleep probably helps as well. The worst would be my nails; they're very weak and just keep breaking. I would love to have long, beautiful nails.

What's in your bathroom cabinet?

I have the E'spa Cleansing Milk and Floral Spafresh. And I also have some bath salts; I couldn't live without my bath.

Shave or wax?

Shave. Waxing would probably be better, though.

Would you leave chipped nail varnish on or remove it straight away?

I would remove it. I don't wear nail varnish very often, though – only if I'm going out.

Quick wipes or three-step regime?

I go through the whole three steps every time (though the quick wipes are good if you're very tired).

Do you prefer a real or a bottled tan?

I haven't found a good bottled tan – I seem to go a bit orange with them. If I got a nice bottled tan, though, I would prefer that.

Are you brand loyal?

I would say so, yes. It's mainly E'spa. And I think it's good to stick to a range rather than use different things – they don't always complement each other.
