"Yes, I share my skincare with my husband. Actually, he just takes what I have at home. He's like, 'Oh, so you’ve been using this...' He knows that if I’m putting it on my skin, it’s probably something good. But I want to tell him to buy his own next time! I'd look at my bottle and I'm like, 'Why is it half empty? You used this much of it?!? Did you use it on your chest?' He’s like, 'Oh, I thought I had to put more!' I’m like, 'No, that’s not the logic!' (Laughs) I still have to teach him a lot when it comes to skincare! The Génifique product range is good for men and women, as it’s about age-defying and youth regeneration, so it works for both genders."

"I don’t know if it’s true but they say your body behaves differently depending on whether you’re pregnant with a boy or girl. When I was carrying my boy, I think my skin was at its very best that I’ve ever seen. Maybe it 'cos the male hormones in the baby balanced out my female hormones! My skin is okay right now, but not as good as when I was pregnant. I guess we'll have to wait for the next [baby]!

Post-pregnancy, when I was breastfeeding and didn’t get a lot of sleep, my skin condition went down a little, but now that my son is a bit older and sleeps a lot more, I get more sleep as well, so my skin is better."

Isn't he the cutest thing ever? 

"I'm using a lot more paper facial masks than I used to. I recently realised they are super accessible, so even if you don't have much time, they're something you can multi-task with. You can put one on and walk around and do whatever you need to do.

Do I have the mask on and do stuff with baby? Always! He maybe looks kinda scared and knows I look not like myself, but he’s too young and doesn’t really react. I haven’t tried any crazy neon green masks, just the white ones so far, so he's still okay!" (Laughs)

The 28-year-old looks amazing, and is friendly and down-to-earth in person. 

"Kevin and I love to put up a Christmas tree together. I have all these ornaments I collected over the years, since I was living in Canada. Some are handmade and half-broken, but that makes them special and it's always nostalgic when I take them out.

I'm looking forward to my first Christmas with my son. He’ll be a little older by then so I want to see him take it all in. It's kind of a little dream I've had since I was in my early 20s — having a family and a little kid and being able to see his face on Christmas morning.

I’m thinking of doing a little Christmas party for my son — any excuse for a party! My husband complains that I always make a big deal out of his birthday. Every month. Yes, [on the date of his birthday] every month, which is kind of ridiculous! He’s like, 'No one celebrates that!'" (Laughs) 

The Lancôme Christmas Market will be at Paragon Shopping Centre Level 1 Atrium till Nov 1, and you can expect Instagrammable backdrops and to be able to try and buy products.
