The 6ft2in personal trainer is known for her 5am starts and high-octane days. Here’s her clear skin beauty edit for the ultimate busy woman.
"My skin changes on a day to day basis, depending on where I am in the world,” says the PT and author of Strong - bemoaning a globe-trotting problem that we’d all like to have. A keen scuba-diver, she’s newly landed from Thailand, where she has spent several weeks and has the golden tan to prove it. “In the UK in winter my skin is dry, but when I was in Thailand it was more oily – and air travel is never good for it. It does flare up at hormonal times but in the last six months I’ve had fewer breakouts since I stopped wearing makeup. Makeup and an active lifestyle are not a great combo. I see it as a nice treat sometimes. For me it’s all about keeping it simple and not overloading my skin. I used to do a mask every day but have found that less is better."
Her minimalist approach to beauty is all about living an active lifestyle, with its 5am starts, to the full. Her mission? "To educate as many women as possible about how to look after their bodies in a balanced, enjoyable and sustainable way; which comes from a place of self-love."

3. Dr Barbara Sturm sun drops SPF 50 30ml, £105 - Buy Online
"Every day I put two drops of this in my moisturiser. It's quite expensive but you use so little. I have had the same pot for about six months and it's still half full."
4. Original & Mineral Know Knott Detangling Spray 250ml, £22 - Buy Online
"When I'm abroad I'm in and out of the sea a lot and this spray stops your hair going like a bush - I put it on before and after. And when you're flying the aircon really dries it out so I use it in-flight too."

9. Xen Tan Face Tanner Luxe 80ml, £19.99 - Buy Online
"People say to me, 'how come you’re so tanned?' and it's because I use this. I use a flat makeup brush to put it on every night. It's the last product I put on before bed but I let it sink in for half an hour otherwise it gets all over the pillow."
10. Lush Seanik Shampoo Bar 55g, £6.50 - Buy Online

13. Microblading by Suman, prices from £450 - Buy Online
"If you look at old photos of me it's hilarious, I just don't have eyebrows. They are blonde like my hair. Mine are now are tattooed on by Suman [currently based at Hari's in London]– she is a wizard. You need to have them topped up once a year. I think eyebrows make or break a face. For me, it's been a game changer."

"As soon as I get on a plane I put this on. It's clear and keeps my skin moisturised. At the end of the flight, I just wash it off."
