We recently spoke to former Harper’s Bazaar Beauty Editor Lucia Ferrari to pick her beauty brains on her own personal bodycare tips, secrets and indulgences…
The first thing I do when I wake up is…
Switch on the Nespresso machine as soon as possible. I love morning coffee. The first one I drink is black and then I have a cappuccino (with oat milk if I’m being good) about 11 ish.
The last thing I do before I go to sleep is…
I wish it was something a bit more deep and meaningful but it’s applying nail oil and hand cream. I love Seams Beauty Oil or Nails Inc oil.
My weekly bodycare routine is…
Daily dry body brushing before the shower every morning (I’m quite religious about this – using either the Mio or Espa Body Brush). I make sure I do my thighs, tummy, and upper arms. I’ll follow with an all-over body cream like Uriage Xemose or if my skin is really dry I’ll use Eucerin Dry Skin Intensive with Urea Treatment Lotion. If my upper arms need it, I’ll use Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion. I’ve suffered from Keratosis Polaris on my upper arms since a teen. It’s the one thing which has definitely improved with age! But I get flare-ups from time to time and this lotion really helps calm it down.
My Favourite Ameliorate Body Product is…
The Transforming Body Lotion because it works and doesn’t cost a fortune.
