Hello Charlotte, first of all, what is your first beauty action in the morning?
I always start my day with a glass of water to wake up the body. Then I get into the habit of massaging my face with a serum, currently Oryza Lab’s Fondamental Serum. I follow with a moisturizing cream. I often alternate, and for the last few days I’ve been using “Je suis Chill” from Ulé Beauty.

What are your tips for easily recognizing a brand that is truly committed to clean beauty?
I find out as much as I can about the brand. You have to look at what the packaging is made of. If plastic is avoided, that’s a huge plus! Then, I check the composition of the products. I look for as much naturalness as possible in the ingredients. And if it’s organic, that’s even better!

You’re committed to protecting our planet. What do you think are the most important things we can all do in our bathrooms?
For me, there are two essential points that are easily achievable. First: use solid products (shampoos / conditioners / soaps / deodorants / toothpastes… ), to avoid plastic packaging! And then: invest in reusable cotton pads. If everyone did that, it would make a huge difference!

Your last beauty crush?
My latest favorite is the Limitless Lash Mascara from ILIA Beauty, a clean, must-have makeup brand.

And finally, your favorite beauty brand?
Very difficult question… So hard to choose! Pai Skincare makes some wonderful products, including a magical illuminator, The Impossible Glow, which gives skin a pearly, bronzed effect that’s really hot!
