Beauty Secrets of Designer Alice Temperley

August 4, 2007

While we're all waiting for Alice Temperley's collection for Target to hit stores, we can steal a few beauty tips from the London-based designer's recent interview. Alice is one of those women who always looks radiant and pretty-without-trying-too-hard, and it's no surprise to discover that her beauty routine is pretty low-key and natural:

Her best secret for having smooth skin? Sweeping the entire body with a brush, then following it with Avocado Body Balm mixed half and half with Herbal Vitamin Oil. Both are by Hildegard Braukmann, an organic German brand.
She uses Ylang-ylang oil in the bath and in her evening moisturizer.
She doesn't tan! Her favorite self-tanner is Garnier Summer Body, which isn't available in the States.
Her favorite shampoo is by Klorane; she says it softens without leaving build-up.

Agreed. I hate the raisin-skin that many girl have in the Midwest by the time they are 30. Tanning booths= UGLY!

I'm a firm believer in not having too much of a tan. I might get a slight tan at the beach once a year, but it doesn't last a week, so why bother? I do think I look better with one, but I don't mind being white most the time. I keep telling myself "in the long run, you'll learn to appreciate being white and not having wrinkles!"

We used to have a garden filled with roses, jasmin, ylang-ylang, sampaguita , daisies and santan. and my favorite is ylang-ylang and jasmin which I gathered when I was a kid I mashed it and put some baby oil in it and sprinkle it on our arms and head --together w/ my playmates. Sounds like Ms. Temperley is very indulgent w/ her beauty routine. How I wish I could always indulge in those luxurious beauty rituals everytime
