BUTTER SKIN IS WHAT WE WANT. YES REALLY.
We’ve moved on from the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic, ‘butter skin’ is the new hype. Put simple it’s skin that looks well hydrated; we’re talking a solid skincare routine, feather-light layers of hydration and a strobe-like tint that gives skin that rich luminosity. The result?

My bathroom is almost ready. By almost I mean about six weeks away and I cannot wait for the day when I can run a bath, close the door and lather up with all my lotions and potions.

The easiest way to use is to spritz over skin post-cleansing, morning and night, or to swipe it over skin on a cotton pad. I try to remember to use it on my body if I’ve had a spot or ingrown crop up.

Honestly. The condition of my hair since I’ve been using it has changed drastically – it gives weightless volume and shine. I use the Kapha range along with the Pitta hair growth serum on my temples, and the Leave In Perfecting Cream to break up my freshly tonged curls and make them look effortless and beachy.
