Amy Wilkinson-Lough, Founder of Project bYouty, takes us through her beauty and skincare routines Talk us through your morning routine.

Masks were always a no from me until we were testing Syrene as a brand. Their power mask is genuinely some kind of wizardry that the skin calls on in a genuine skin emergency. If you’ve gone too hard on the acids, got caught in the sun, had a bad week then this is your fail-safe – irrespective of skin type.
