Ruby Lyn loves her wonky teeth
Daily Beauty Rituals: Influencer and Ironically Literate book club founder Ruby Lyn has broken the cardinal sin of sleeping in her make-up a fair few times. Ironically, she thinks it makes her skin better. Try it – along with some of her other beauty tips – at your own peril.
The first thing I eat or drink when I wake up is…
I go to bed dreaming about my coffee the next morning, black coffee only.
The soundtrack to my morning routine is…
Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield is the best way to start the day, also I’ve been loving Daniel Caesar and Tame Impala’s new albums to get me through the chilly mornings.
My go-to beauty hack for when I’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
Cold shower, under eye patches, sunglasses, green juice.
The product I’ll reach for when I’ve got a pimple is…
I’ve tried every pimple patch under the sun. Peace Out Acne Dots are the best I’ve found.
My favourite brand of sunscreen is…
My holy grail skincare product is…
Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum…Thank me later.
My best-kept beauty secret is…
Call me crazy, but sometimes when I sleep in my makeup from the night before my skin is better the next day.
My favourite feature is…
My teeth.
Because…
It used to be a big insecurity of mine, that I’ve grown to love. Wonky teeth are cool.
My first beauty-related memory is…
I remember going through my mum’s makeup bag, putting on what I thought was lipstick and her walking in on me laughing because I had concealer on my lips.
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Anything that’s multi-purpose! I like simple and easy products.
Benefits Benetint gives my face a little life when needed and Rhode Lip Shape in Balance.
I keep my lips moisturised with…
Boiron Homeoplasmine Cream, I always restock when I’m in Paris. I carry it with me everywhere I go, especially during the colder months. Violette_fr Balm Amour, Summer Fridays Butter Balms and Dr Jart Vital Hydra Solution Lip Mask.
The bougiest beauty product I own is…
Dr Dennis Gross’ DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro 3‑Minute LED Device.
My favourite budget find is…
Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil. Lasts me all night long.
The face masks that never let me down are…
Skin111 Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask, Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask, MedicubeSalmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask.
My signature scent is…
I really thought about gatekeeping… but Celine — Parade.
TikTok made me buy it…
The lip stain tattoo things, I couldn’t even tell you the brand.
My top tips for having a good hair day are…
My hair is tricky because it’s thick and I have a lot of it so I have to always wash the night before (loving Roz shampoo + conditioner recently), use a little Kerastase Hair Oil when still damp, then sleep on it to weigh it down. And the key is I never brush my hair, oops — usually results in waking up with soft messy waves.
My evening skincare routine looks like…
Double cleanse with Skin1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil then foam cleanser, Rhode Glazing Milk, COSRX 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum and PURITO B5 Panthenol Re-barrier Cream.
The secret to a good night’s sleep is…
Cuddles :)
