Continuing their support for Australian female equestrian riders, Guinot are excited to announce they are sponsoring 24-year-old Sophie Warren.
Joining fellow West Australian rider Amanda Ross as a sponsor of Guinot, Warren represents Australia in the FEI Dressage and Three Star Eventing equestrian events.
In her new role as a representative for Guinot, Warren chats about her skincare routine, favourite products and why she chose to partner with the French skincare brand.
Why is skincare so important to you?
Skincare is easy to forget about when you are younger, but as my face is my greeting to everyone I meet, I want to look after it as best I can. I am out in the elements from 6am-7pm every day - if its hot and sunny, howling a gale or pouring rain and sleet, I'm out there riding and teaching - so I need the very best protection and care for my skin to keep it healthy and looking young as long as possible. The earlier I start, the better my chances!
Do you have a daily routine?
I have always been at a bit of a loss, but with the guidance of the team at Guinot I now have a fast and easy morning and night routine specially tailored for my skin type and outdoor lifestyle.
What are your favourite products?
I would have to say my Ultra UV Defense 50+ as it gives my face all-day protection without making it feel sticky or oily - there is nothing worse than ending up with a "dust moustache"! At the end of the day, after a good cleanse with Lait Hydra Fraicheur for all skin types, my Creme Hydra Beaute moisturises and refreshes my skin ready for tomorrow's activities.
Why did you feel a partnership with Guinot skincare was a good fit?
I don't want to be looking 10 years older than I am when I get to 30 or even 40 years of age. I am thrilled to be able to work with an enthusiastic family run company to help raise awareness about skincare in a sport that is largely dominated by women - and we all work outdoors 12-14 hours each and every day! It's easy to forget our own care in our efforts to put our horses first. Now I make sure I get the care I need as well.
