Beauty tips from Zoë Taylor

By Eleonore Dresch on 10/2/2022

Zoë Taylor is one of the highly influential makeup artists of her generation. She has worked with many actors and models – Rihanna, Lily James, Julianne Moore and Adwoa Aboah – to name a few and collaborated with some of the biggest brands within the beauty and fashion industry.

A graduate of the Chelsea College of Art, she also studied beauty therapy.

As we are slowly emerging from the darkness of winter, I asked her to share with us some advice on her beauty routine, what products she uses and what extra steps we need to take at this time of the year.

As the seasons change so should your skincare routine. The winter months are an ideal time to include skincare steps to treat specific skin concerns such as pigmentation and fine lines. However, it's important to keep a very close eye on which ingredients you are using to ensure your skin barrier doesn’t become compromised, thus resulting in hypersensitivity. It isn’t about slathering on moisturiser to cope with winter skin, but instead by layering a range of products. You will find the results will be far more effective and your skin won't become congested.

CHANEL  L’HUILE Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil

CHANEL L’HUILE Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil

I love an oil cleanser as it works on many skin-types without unnecessarily stripping skin of its barrier. CHANEL Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil contains Marine Salicornia extract which is deeply moisturising and helps strengthen the skin. It also contains blue micro-algae which protect cells from micro-stress caused by pollution. Facial massage is important all year round, but make sure you don’t skip it during the colder months as it can give a real boost to the natural plumpness of the skin, increasing blood flow to the area and encouraging cell renewal. This is a heavenly product to use during your facial massage.

PAULA'S CHOICE SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA LIQUID EXFOLIANT

It’s a good idea to add a chemical exfoliant if you haven’t already included this in your daily routine. It's a very gentle way to refine, smooth and brighten skin by accelerating cell turn over. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant is a non-abrasive leave on exfoliant with salicylic acid to unclog pores, even out skin tone and help to smooth wrinkles.

CHANEL  SUBLIMAGE Essential Rejuvenating Mask

CHANEL SUBLIMAGE Essential Rejuvenating Mask

I also love a mask, they always feel so indulgent. I would skip the sheet masks this time of year and go for something deeply nourishing like CHANEL SUBLIMAGE Essential Rejuvenating Mask. It's just beautiful to use. Its key ingredient is Vanilla Planifolia this helps hydration, radiance and softness, honestly skin is truly incredible after using this product. It’s a firm favourite of mine.

CHANEL HYDRA BEAUTY MICRO SÉRUM Intense Replenishing Hydration

A serum is super lightweight and easily absorbed delivering benefits deeply into the skin. It should always be applied onto damp skin, this helps to conserve the water in your skin. For day-time CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Serum is all about keeping skin hydrated for 24 hours, the active ingredient is Camellia Alba OFA, which is a lipid extract, this provides both plumping and reinforces skin’s hydration and protection.

DR BARBARA STURM Night Serum

DR BARBARA STURM Night Serum

Choose a different night-time serum to work deeply whilst you sleep, as this is when skin regenerates and rejuvenates itself producing more collagen, Dr. Barbara Sturm Night Serum supports and boosts this nightly renewal process. With extract of Cotton Thistle to nourish and improve skin quality, along with Poria Cocos and Beta-Glucan to help regenerate the skins natural barrier function, this serum works its magic whilst you catch some zzz.

N°1 DE CHANEL REVITALISING CREAM

N°1 DE CHANEL REVITALISING CREAM

For some people thick moisturisers are amazing especially during the winter months, but this isn’t the case for everyone. Returning to that idea of layering up effective skincare, I find that N°1 DE CHANEL REVITALIZING CREAM is light enough to plump and smooth during the day without overwhelming the skin. With Red Camelia included in its ingredients to add comfort to the skin and protect its barrier function.

CHANEL  Huile De Jasmin

CHANEL Huile De Jasmin

Often, I like to include a facial oil on top of my moisturiser, as this helps to seal everything in, CHANEL Huile De Jasmin is truly beautiful use as it is fine and non-oily, making it suitable for all skintypes.

TINKER TAYLOR Lip Kit

TINKER TAYLOR Lip Kit

Lips are often forgotten during skincare routines, but they are even more fragile during the colder months due to them being much thinner than the rest of the skin on the face. Try keeping the dryness at bay by regularly buffing them and hydrating them.The Tinker Taylor Lip Kit is a natural 3 part lip-care sequence containing Lip Scrub for buffing off dry skin, Lip Oil packed with Jojoba oil, grape seed oil and chia seed oil for a hit of quickly absorbed hydration and Lip Balm with Shea and cupuaca seed butter to nourish and seal it all in.

Don’t forget your SPF for the day, even though it might seem mad to put it on when there isn’t much sunlight, don’t be fooled, it is still very important and can also help to protect your skin from the harmful blue light of computers and other screens. Ultra Violette has an excellent range of SPF to suit all skin types. I personally use Queen Screen as it gives incredible protection, and it's lightweight making it perfect under foundation.

3. Mask

4. Serum

5. Moisturiser
