1. What Does Your Weekly Bodycare Routine Look Like?
Since the onset of the pandemic, I started to treat myself to more luxurious body care products and became more interested in my body than ever before. Since we didn’t have access to treatments, I wanted to make sure that my daily shower routine was a mini pampering session.
It’s a pretty simple routine, I cleanse with a luxury shower gel, usually Le Labo or Malin & Goetz and moisturise daily. I love the Limited Edition Ameliorate Body Lotions, particularly the Orange Blossom and Warm Amyris scents, the Embryolisse Lait Creme Fluide is a firm favourite too. Once a week, I use a body scrub. I love the Ameliorate Smoothing Body Exfoliant and for extra sensory pleasure the Ouai Scalp & Body Scrub is great too!
2. What Is The Thing You Love Most About Your Body?
I became paralysed 7 years ago so I have a very different relationship with my body now compared to when I was able bodied.
3. How Has Your Skin Changed Throughout Your 40s?
It’s definitely becoming more dry and requires a lot more hydration!
4. In Terms Of Bodycare, What Is Your Biggest Skin Concern?
5. What Is Your Biggest Bodycare Indulgence?
Reflexology! I have it once a week and it really wakes up all the nerves in my feet which I typically struggle feeling. Sometimes the session can be really energising and other times it can be more healing and peaceful.
6. How Do You Keep Your Body Fit And Healthy?
Pre-Covid I used to go to Physiotherapy which was great, however that’s not been possible the past year or so. Since I’m not able to keep fit on my own, I really had to turn to diet as if I put on any significant amount of weight - I won’t fit into my wheelchair.
At the beginning of Covid, like many people, I turned to the cookies and crisps. After the first lockdown, I really took my diet and health much more seriously and I feel so much better for it! I pretty much eat a Mediterranean diet.
7. What’s The Best Thing About Being In Your 40s?
I think we develop a resilience that perhaps doesn’t yet exist in our 20s and 30s. Relationships are more resilient, they weather more storms and come out stronger because of it. You learn to be assertive without guilt attached, setting boundaries is much easier and I found this quite hard in my twenties and thirties.
