Episode notes
After a little refection about me and my family's appearance in the new Channel 4 show Escape To Florida, I talk about the skincare products I am using at the moment.
After 28 years in the industry, I know how overwhelming skincare can be. So for this week, I’m stripping it all back and walking you through my current daily routine - the products I am actually using right now, ones I swear by, and the ones I buy on repeat.
I cover everything from my 5:30 AM gym-ready skincare to the hard-working evening serums that help keep my skin glowing. Plus, I share why you don’t always need to spend loads of money to see results.
The Products I Talk About Are
Morning Routine:
- Hydration: The Inkey List Ectoin Hydro Barrier Serum - Great for keeping aging skin plump.
- Moisturizer: The Inkey List Bioactive Ceramide Repairing and Plumping Moisturizer - Budget-friendly, ceramides for the win.
- Body Care: CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion – My holy grail for face and body; affordable and derm-developed.
- Sun Protection & Prep: No7 Future Renew Defense Shield SPF 50 – Lightweight, no white cast, and sits beautifully under makeup.
- Foundation: Victoria Beckham Beauty Foundation Drops – My current obsession. Skincare-infused, natural finish, and perfect for that "your skin but better" look.

Evening Routine:
- Cleanser: SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser Cream – A milky, creamy cleanser that gets the job done without the tightness.
- Treatment: Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 – The gold standard for retinols.
- Repair: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair – A classic for a reason. Soft, smooth, glowing skin by morning.
A quick reminder: Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint! Give your products at least a month to work their magic before switching things up.
