Health & Beauty
Do you have a beauty
regime? I wash my face
morning and night with Liz
Earle Cleanse and Polish.
In the morning I use my

Heart of
Oats…
Because they contain betaglucan,
a form of fibre, oats
have the ability to reduce
cholesterol, stabilise blood
sugar and cut the risk of heart
disease from blocked arteries.
Not only are they super-good
for you (they’re also high in
Vitamin B1, magnesium,
selenium and protein) but a
bowl of porridge oats makes a
cheap and tasty breakfast that
will fill you up till lunchtime.
Regular porridge oats can be
processed with wheat so if you
want to avoid gluten, go for
the gluten-free varieties.
One cup of oats cooked with
two cups of milk or water and
then use SkinCeuticals CE
Ferulic, which increases UV
protection, followed with a
SkinCeuticals brightening
moisturiser with SPF 30.
Having spent my youth
laying in the sun, slathered in
Hawaiian Tropic, it’s time to
take more care! At night I use
a Bobby Brown moisturiser.
Once a week I might use a
mud or cucumber face mask.
Do you have a particular
product you couldn’t live
without? As a dietitian and
yoga teacher I believe a sense
of health and wellbeing
comes from within –
eating well, getting plenty
of rest and a daily yoga
practice. I love Neal’s Yard
Beauty Oil, a rich source
of essential fatty acids and
antioxidants, which I put in
my N utriBullet with a variety
of other wonderful things.

What’s your ultimate
pampering treat? I love a
massage or facial. I go on
a yoga retreat once a year
in Mallorca and I have
a wonderful Thai yoga
massage whilst I’m there.
It’s a very physical massage,
involving acupressure,
yoga and Ayurvedic
principles. It’s bliss!
Who’s your style icon?
I admire anyone who
looks both stylish, but
comfortable and happy
in his or her clothes. I’m
a huge admirer of Cate
Blanchett’s style and talent.
