Daisy London's Creative Director On How Motherhood Changed Her Beauty Routine
Back in 2009 Ruth Bewsey was fresh out of uni and joined a jewellery brand inspired by wildflowers, roll forward 12 years and under her creative direction, Daisy London has become a firm-favourite for anyone looking for beautiful, every day pieces. These days Ruth juggles the brand and being a mum. Here she shares how pregnancy changed her skin and hair type, shook up her beauty routine and why she takes a less is more approach…

Post-Pregnancy Psoriasis

After I had my first child in 2017, I developed psoriasis from head to toe. Completely covered, it was quite a miserable time to be honest. This, coupled with a lack of sleep, weight gain and anxiety on how to keep a baby happy and health were all contributing factors to my new skin reaction. It was this that really triggered me to start looking at what I was using on my skin. Oh, and the extra wrinkles all those sleepless nights had given me!

My Carefully Considered Skincare

Looking after my skin is essential and I genuinely look forward to cleansing my face – it’s become a self-care ritual. Taking the time to look after my skin has meant that I understand which products and ingredients suit me and I feel more in tune with myself and my body. In the mornings, I always reach for Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash, £19 and follow with which honestly brings me so much joy - as does Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum, £15 for adding a natural-looking warmth to my skin. Other favourites include Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, £34 and Malin + Goetz Replenishing Face Serum, £66.

Why I Take A Less Is More Approach To Makeup

Over the past year, with lockdown, I’ve spent less time in the Daisy London office. This coupled with being a busy working mum means I take a less is more approach to makeup these days. Having a routine that’s quick and easy has made such a big difference. I used to wear foundation every day without fail but instead I now just use a little bit of concealer (the is my go-to) with a bit of and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer, £56. I usually finish with Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows, £25 to fill in my brows slightly.

Embracing My New Hair

Since having children, I’ve found my hair has completely changed. It always used to be relatively straight - perhaps with a slight wave if I really scrunched it up but nothing much. Nowadays, it has so many more waves which I love. I’ve found that brushing it when I’m in the shower and applying a curl cream on damp hair works wonders. Bumble & Bumble’s curl range has been a game-changer for me. After using the shampoo, conditioner and curl cream, I let my hair dry naturally which also saves on time. If I have an IG live or a face-to-face meeting, I’ll add a few extra waves with tongs to make it look a little less peachy and more considered.
