IN THE MORNING

As soon as I get up…..

…I do a few minutes of stretching and deep breathing followed by a cup of English breakfast tea – a non-negotiable for me – and then head straight into the shower.

Each morning I make…

…a banana and almond-milk smoothie with added dates (a tip I got from British food writer Ella Mills, aka Deliciously Ella). I also take vitamin C and zinc supplements to help boost my immune system, especially when I’m filming.

I don’t like going to the gym…

…but I do like working out regularly. I prefer either being outside, at home doing yoga, going for long walks or swimming.

My skin is sensitive…

…so when I find something that doesn’t aggravate, I stick to it. I’m devoted to Clé De Peau’s The Crème and also the Intensive Eye Contour Cream. I use both morning and night.

I travel a lot…

…so I get quite bad jet lag. The one thing I always do when I arrive to stop myself from feeling hideous is to exercise, drink lots of water, go outside for a walk and meet up with a friend.

IN THE EVENING

I can’t live without…

…my concealer. I’m obsessed with Clé de Peau’s concealer – it’s a cult product that’s amazing at blending and super long-lasting. Everything you’ve heard about it is true!

I’m a real worrier…

…it keeps me awake at night, so I always have a notebook nearby to write things down. I write lists and thoughts – it makes me feel much more ordered and organized. If that fails I have a cup of hot milk, which is a tip my grandmother passed down to me.

A nightly bath helps me to unwind…

…I love cocktailing my water with lots of Epsom salts to help ease achy muscles, then I add in an Aesop’s Body Cleansers to scent.

Once a week…

…I do a sheet mask in my bath. I sit back and take it easy – it’s my moment of relaxation and it is utter bliss.

On my bedside table…

…I have a Diptyque candle, a pile of books (I love to read) and a large glass of room-temperature water.
