You’re currently on holiday in the Basque Country near Biarritz in France with your husband and two daughters. It sounds wonderful. How are you spending all that lovely vacation time?
“Summer holidays in the Basque Country are filled with hours at the market, long days on the beach, lemon sorbet, endless sunshine, a book that may or may not get finished, matcha in the shade, visits to the local organic supermarket, chocolate mousse, little trips to Biarritz, fresh fish, côte de boeuf, and macarons.”
What does a perfect summer day look like to you?
“Good food, slow mornings, plenty of beach time, and long walks in the forest. With kids, we’ve learned that a good plan is essential – even if it’s just a plan to do nothing. Simply knowing what the day will bring creates a sense of calm.”
Do you have any specific beauty rituals during summer?
“Hydration, hydration, hydration. My daily routine always comes with me on holiday – maybe in a lighter version, where I skip a layer of cream if it’s really hot. I dry brush my body in the morning and use body oil and sunscreen. I also bring my supplements, although I take fewer, since I get plenty of fruit, vegetables, fish – and vitamin D and C from the sun and food.”
What’s your summer skincare routine like?
“In the morning, I gently cleanse my skin, apply a hydrating serum, day cream, eye cream, and finish with sunscreen. Brow gel and lip balm are a must. In the evening, I double cleanse, hydrate, apply eye cream and finish with lip balm. I often shower in the evening – while on vacation – and treat my skin with nourishing aftersun products.”
What matters most to you when choosing skincare?
“Natural ingredients, light scents, a nice texture – and I need to be able to feel and see a difference in my skin.”
What are your Rudolph Care favorites?
“The sunscreen, aftersun, lip balm and gloss – and the eye mask, which is a staple both at home and on holiday.”
How do you incorporate sun protection into your skincare?
“I apply sunscreen every morning – as a natural part of my routine. On my body, I apply it together with oil, and on my face, after serum.”
What does your body care routine look like?
“My body is dry brushed and then moisturized with oil. It keeps the skin soft, glowing, and balanced – even in the heat. And sunscreen from the start of the day.”
How do you care for your hair?
“I focus on hydration – plenty of conditioner and a moisturizing serum. Sometimes I also use serum overnight for extra care.”
