How to Live Better with Carisa Janes
8 Steps to The Good Life by the Founder of Hourglass
Lane Crawford sat down with Hourglass’ Carisa Janes to find out how, while maintaining her role as CEO and founder of one of the world’s most in-demand cosmetic companies, she finds time to life a healthy, balanced life.
It is all about harmony
“It’s all about balance. I try and take really good care of my skin, eat well, drink water and get as much sleep as possible.”
Skin confidence is confidence
“Part of feeling confident is about feeling confident with your skin. They go in hand in hand.”
Enforce work/life balance
“I don’t work weekends unless I’m travelling and every day I find time to spend away from it all immersed in nature.”
“I never talk about work when I come home in the evening.”
Take good daily care of your skin
“I cleanse, tone and apply SPF every morning, and every night I add in a serum and lip oil. I exfoliate once a week and am now trying retinols. Beauty is about mixing it up.”
Targeted treatments should be routine
“I see the biggest difference in my skin with IPL laser facials. I just feel like it’s a good practice, like going to the dentist.”
Be part of the movement for change
“Hourglass recently launched the GIRL campaign to celebrate future change-makers and recognising the good in others, and in yourself. Each shade in the collection is a reminder that one person can make a difference in the world.”
Sunscreen is vital
“If I could tell my 16-year old self anything, it would be to wear more sunscreen.”
“It’s about doing something different for your brain, changing your routine.”
Fitness benefits are physical and mental
“Exercise is so important, not just for your body, but for your mind. It recalibrates you.”
