- INTRO -
How would you describe your role or title – in your own words?
“Usually I’ll say creative, lol, since my line of work consists of being an influencer and podcaster, but also a writer and creative consultant for brands. So it’s broad.”
Where do you live, and what does that place mean to you?
“In Stockholm. I truly love my city, and I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. Maybe it’s ridiculous, but I love the vibe here — the people, the restaurants, the architecture, everything. I hate leaving Stockholm; I feel my best when I’m in my safe space.”
What feels important in your life right now?
“Family, friends, and that everyone is healthy.”
- PHILOSOPHY -
How has your relationship with skincare evolved over time?
“The older I get, the more sacred the routine of getting ready feels. Those spaces — often female spaces — where skincare routines flourish have always been important, whether it’s getting ready in a group and having intimate talks about life, or being by myself at night, doing my routine and reflecting on my day.”
What do you expect from a skincare product today?
“Honestly, just nice products that keep me hydrated and glowing.”
And when does a product actually feel like a game-changer to you?
“When I can use it everywhere, and I don’t need an 11-step routine just to keep things good. I want to be able to reduce my routine to just a moisturizer and still feel taken care of.”
- ALL IN ONE -
You’ve recently been introduced to the new Açai All in One Eye Cream + Serum. What was your first impression?
“I love, love, love the eye cream because it feels super gentle and hydrating. The skin around my eyes is sensitive, and I often react negatively to new products — but not this one. I also really love the texture of the serum and how fast it absorbs. I actually felt so moisturized using it that I forgot about the cream.”
How do you like the Açai All in One Moisturizer?
“I really love the fact that it’s all in one. When I travel, I always try to minimize packing, and I just bring that cream — it works perfectly.”
- DAILY ROUTINE -
What does your typical skincare routine look like?
“I never wash my face in the morning with cleanser — I try to keep my skin’s natural oils and maybe just splash some water. My morning routine is sometimes just that, or if I have time, I’ll add serum, eye cream, and moisturizer.
The evening routine is more sacred, since I love washing the day off my face. If I do a mask, it’s usually in the evening. Otherwise, it’s just cleanse and then add serum, eye cream, and moisturizer.”
Is there a step you never skip, no matter how busy you are?
“I skip steps in my routine all the time, haha — but I hate going to bed without washing my face.”
Which part of your routine do you genuinely enjoy the most, and why?
“The moisturizer in my evening routine, because I let that step take time and really enjoy applying it all over my face.”
- FEELINGS -
What do you expect from a skincare product?
“I’m just a girl, haha, so I want the products to look nice in my bathroom. But I also appreciate smaller companies that make thoughtful choices and work with inclusivity.”
Has the way you connect with skincare changed with time or different phases in your life?
“I really appreciate and cherish female spaces in a way I didn’t when I was younger. The older I get, the more important those spaces are to me — and to finding myself.”
When do you feel most like yourself?
“Surrounded by my besties, without makeup, in our sweatpants.
- FAVORITES -
What drew you to Rudolph Care?
“The texture, the scent, and the way my skin felt hydrated and glowing. Also, the fact that the range of products is small and curated — I really love that. I recently discovered the Açai Facial Oil, which I use as the last step in my evening routine, and I use the Firming Perfector Serum and Açai All in One Eye Cream every day.”
How does it feel when a product truly fits you and your skin?
“I just love when my routine and the products I use fit seamlessly into my life — and when they feel good on my skin.”
