The woman Meghan Markle has called one of her "favourite aestheticians" and who Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen visit for an all-natural facelift, Nichola Joss, is one of the most revered skincare and self-tanning experts in the business. Known for sculpting (her signature facial involves massage from inside the mouth to tone the cheek contours), she’s an authority on non-surgical anti-ageing. Here she shares her best tips for holistic skin health so you can grow older glowingly.
Don't forget to double cleanse
“The biggest mistake I see women making is not cleansing the skin properly. Double cleansing is super important. It is also really essential to use a toner.”
Don't be afraid of acids
“Being afraid of skincare acids is another mistake – they can actually be so important to the hydration of the skin, as well as peels, which can reset and correct the skin.”
Don't let self-tan clog your pores
“For those who wear self-tan regularly, I’d say it’s really important to maintain a weekly exfoliation, in addition to daily cleansing and moisturising, to keep the tan looking even and the skin glowing. This will also keep the skin clear.”
Do take skin supplements
“I recently found the best supplements I have ever taken. Having tried Lumity for six months (soft capsules with ingredients of a high-grade quality), I started noticing a significant improvement in my skin and the thickness, and health of my hair. Also, I have more energy, I am sleeping better and feel rejuvenated upon waking. While recovering from an infection and hospital operation, I believe that the supplements also aided a quicker and fully recovery.”
Do think of anti-aging holistically
“My best anti-ageing tip is to have a good daily practice for your skin by taking supplements, including probiotics such as Symprove, eating a clean healthy organic diet, using quality topical skincare and having a good facial massage technique. This is the advice I give to all my clients when they come in to see me.”
Do invest in facials
“Ideally before a big event or your wedding, start having facials a good few months in advance to get the skin in its best condition. It also helps to release stress and tension from the face. Surprisingly our facials – especially the Bespoke Inner Facial – do not have any downtime, so you can actually have one the morning of your special event.”
