We caught up with the vivacious and free-spirited Ash Owens, who was recently named Up & Comer at the Miss FQ influencer awards. Get a sneak peek into her beauty regime below...
What three beauty products could you not live without?
Definitely my IT Cosmetics CC cream, Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder and the Manuka Dr Hydrating Cleanser
What is one beauty secret you wish you’d known earlier?
ALWAYS double cleanse! Your skin will love you for it. (Not sure what Double Cleansing is? Read all about it on BD here.)
Beauty-wise how do you like to treat yourself and where do you go?
My skin is incredibly fussy so I like to keep my pampering sessions at home. My ritual begins with a nice long bath with a luxurious mask, my fave is the GlamGlow Super Treatment mask for detoxifying and the Kiehl's Calendula Mask for hydration, I then exfoliate with my Manuka Dr Hydrating Exfoliator, drench my skin in a nourishing facial spray such as the Kiehl's Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Face Mist, I follow that up with the ultimate evening serum Estee Lauder Advances Night Repair and top it off with my go-to pamper evening night cream, the Eve Lom Time Retreat Advanced Night Cream. I wake up with angel skin every time without fail!
What is your favourite fragrance and why?
Eau Duelle by Diptique, I purchased this a few years ago in Amsterdam and it reminds me of my travels, the vanilla notes are also incredibly comforting. I will forever keep a bottle of this in my collection for sure.
On a social media note, how do you deal with negative comments and what advice would you give to others?
I deal with negativity by either having a good rant to my partner (lol) but mostly by brushing it off. I know who I am, what I stand for and why I do what I do so it takes a lot for someone else's negativity to affect me, especially online! My biggest advice is to remember that if one person is going to make a negative comment towards you, you have to remember that negative actions are mostly created by negative people. They're probably just unhappy with their lives and think that you're amazing, potentially a bit jealous of you so just remember that, ignore them and be grateful that you are a happier, better and far more positive and ambition person than they are!
