Cat hair and intuition: Saya Gray keeps her routine simple
Daily Beauty Rituals: Beauty sleep doesn’t exist in Saya Gray’s world. Staying up all night does wonders for her skin, so naturally, we had to ask the Canadian musician about how the hell she stays looking so fresh.
The first thing I eat or drink when I wake up is…
Literal cat breath and cat fur.
The soundtrack to my morning routine is…
Ek Taal by Zakir Hussain or Pilgrim (Interlude) by Izo Fitzroy.
My go-to beauty hack for when i’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
I am nocturnal by nature, but I use Majo Medicine’s Holy Elixir religiously.
The product i’ll reach for when i’ve got a pimple is…
Sulfur is the secret! There are some great products out there with 3 – 10 per cent sulfur. Or find a hot spring, hehe!
My favourite brand of sunscreen is…
I’ve tried 100000000 brands – so many flake off or leave gross ass residue. The one I always go back to is Elta MD.
My holy grail skincare product is…
Majo Medicine’s Face Food. Less branding and chemicals, more natural juiciness to the skin.
My best kept beauty secret is…
Less stress and more water.
By favourite feature is…
My intuition. She never fails.
My first beauty-related memory is…
Honestly being around elders who are so fresh and vital that their skin and aura is busting through the city electromagnetic fields. I know women who hit the sea every day into their eighties and I’ve never seen more beauty.
It means a lot to me because…
I feel our beauty ideals are straying from natural resources. We’re buying more, doing more, stressing more about preserving youth rather than forming incredible internal lives that are healthy – that reflects on the outside. Wrinkles and the time shown through our skin is sexy.
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Making a coffee bean scrub. You can make it yourself and use it as a natural caffeine exfoliant in the morning.
I keep my lips moisturised with…
Egyptian Magic (the oil not witchery).
The bougiest beauty product I own is…
I use so many boujie ass organic oils from individual organic carriers.
My favourite budget find is…
Green tea bags for eye puffiness. Sometimes my eyes look like dumplings in the morning so this or a cold spoon will get it done.
The face mask that never lets me down is…
Aztec Secret Healing Clay or Manuka honey/propolis.
My signature scent is…
Everyday Oil. Or Rahua’s Palo Santo Oil.
TikTok made me buy it…
I don’t have TikTok :)
My top tips for having a good hair day are…
What does it naturally want to do? I have Scottish and Japanese hair that does exactly what you would think it does. It’s like horse hair.
My evening skincare routine looks like…
10 step Korean skin care using Majo Medicine.
The secret to a good night’s sleep is…
Prayer and cats.
