What did you try? 

A skincare regimen from Aurelia London probiotic-rich skincare for five weeks. 

Why did you try it?

I have been reading about probiotic skincare from some of the biggest names in the skincare industry, such as Dr. Barbara Sturm. I wanted to see if I would be able to change my skin from within, as I have always been a huge proponent of Eastern medicine and healing through healthy practices, so I decided why not? Let's try it! 

How did you prepare?

I had a consultation with Antonia Knox, brand expert and spokesperson for Aurelia London skincare. During our chat, I told her about my combination skin type and struggles with acne. She then selected specific Aurelia products to construct a full regimen to combat my main skin pain points.

What happened during the whole process?

Throughout the process, I was able to watch my skin become so much more hydrated and radiant. I also noticed fewer breakouts, and when they did happen, they were far less severe than before. After I applied the products in the morning and at night, my skin felt supple and was visibly glowing.

Any challenges?

This was my first time having a set skincare regimen, and I was worried that I would not be able to keep up with the many steps of the routine each morning and night. I was proven wrong, as the steps were quick and easy.

Any surprises?

I was shocked to see my skin look better after only a few weeks of abiding by the routine. I thought that it would take much longer to see any results!

How did you feel afterward? What kinds of changes did you notice?

I felt as though I was visibly glowing and that my dry, flaky skin was no longer a worry.

Nothing!

For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
