Q
What initially inspired you to make the MZ Skin brand and jump from being a Doctor & Surgeon to a brand founder?
Creating MZ Skin was truly an organic process and perhaps something I was preparing for all my life without knowing. When I moved to London, I did a lot of studies with hyaluronic acid fillers and developed an interest in nonsurgical treatments, leading me to do a Dermatology Certificate with Cardiff University. That’s when I started using doctor skincare brand’s, but the formulations felt too medicinal and lacked the luxury sensory component that I loved so much. So, I ended up experimenting with some pharmacy grade products I had formulated with the chemist and shared with a few close friends.
I think like most working mothers, I am winging it! But in all seriousness, it is always a juggle wanting to get it all in and to enjoy the moment as well. I think that exercise keeps me sane. I also heavily rely on an excellent team to keep me on track and a supportive husband and family.

If you could travel back 10 years what advice would you give to your younger self?

THE ULTIMATE END-OF-SUMMER
SKINCARE ROUTINE BY ELLIE HYMAN
A
s we say goodbye to the sun-kissed glow that – let’s be honest – makes summer skin oh, so easy to maintain, here are five things to change as the seasons do the same. Transitioning into Autumn isn’t always the easiest thing for our skin, but we know how to do it right…
22
1. CLEANSERS If you’re a fan of foaming cleansers and/or makeup wipes, you might find that these are slightly too harsh as the temperature creeps down and your skin gets drier and more sensitive. Try either a milk, cream or balm and your skin will feel infinitely more nourished. You’ll notice the change immediately. 2. TONERS Even though you might feel your skin getting a little dry and tight, keep up with the toners. No matter the season, acids are instrumental in prepping your skin for pretty much anything that follows them. 3. OILS If you don’t use one already, now’s the time. If you do, try adding a couple of drops to your moisturiser to amp up the hydration your skin is getting without feeling greasy.

4. TIMING The one singular advantage to earlier, darker nights is that you can do the whole ‘bra off m a ke u p off hair up’ routine earlier. Try doing it as soon as you get home from work... 23

RSUPPLEMENTS EMEDIES TO

loating is one of the first signs that your body isn’t digesting food properly. As digestion is key for the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat, digestive symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain after eating and heartburn all need to be taken seriously. The good news is there
34
&
are many ways to tackle these symptoms naturally, getting right to the root cause.
L-Glutamine To start healing the gut and to prevent recurring bloating symptoms, you’ll want to look into leaky gut and L-Glutamine. It’s the most common amino acid in your body and acts as a building block for producing proteins. By enabling your gut cells to regenerate faster, L-Glutamine helps seal the tight junctions in your gut resulting in the restoration of your gut lining. If you have a tendency towards digestive symptoms, start here. Herbal Tea I’m a big fan of loose leaf blended teas that are concocted specifically for digestive support for sipping on at bedtime if I’ve overindulged in the day. Peppermint, fennel, liquorice, ginger, and dandelion are all great to aid digestion.

Autumn is upon us, and with less BBQs to buy for or holidays to save for, we may all have a little bit extra over each month to spend.. on ourselves. Some of us are ready, and the majority of us aren’t. With not much sun in the first place, we are ready to get ready, for Autumn!
The Bowler Bag It’s had it’s hit on the shelves for another year. Big enough for your kitchen sink? Correct. Small enough for running around town? Also correct. Adding to that, a more structured or framed bag may be more up your street this year. The royals have been spotted with a small top-handle bag, so why can’t you? Boots Are they an accessory I hear you ask, and yes. Yes is the reply. Classic coloured boots will do you well but monochrome looks and odd-shaped heels will go far too. The lace-up kind are set and ready for take-off too, with brands such as Manu Atelier, Zara and Office bringing their offerings to the table this month too....
