What do your first 30 mins of the day look like, your morning routine?

I start my mornings by praying for everyone that I love, thanking God for everything that he has blessed me within my life and appreciating everything that I have. I then grab my daily coffee and enjoy my “me” time getting ready for the day. Taking my time to focus on myself is how I express self-love.

In terms of beauty, do you subscribe to the theory you are what you eat?

I do believe you are what you eat, I enjoy fresh organic food but growing up in an Emirati household, Emirati cuisine is the centre of our meals. I listen to my body and what it needs and never deprive myself of what it wants.

In terms of inner beauty – what do you value?

The thing I value most in a person is their soul. Inner beauty is the energy and aura you give out. Kindness, honesty, and love are the most essential qualities one can have. Through the years I’ve learned to always understand and appreciate everyone in their own ways. As an artist, I’ve used my paintings to portray freedom of expression.

Which product is your hero buy and one you always travel with?

My hero product would have to be the Hour Glass Lip Oil, it’s simply amazing and a must-have. I never leave home without it! Cetaphil products are my go-to in the mornings because I have sensitive skin and it works wonders. When I travel, I can’t be without the full set of Keratase Christalliste hair products, it totally transformed my hair.

What effect has social media played in the beauty industry?
