// Alright, Let’s get started🌟 How about you introduce yourself?
Hi! My name is Daniëlle and I’m Founder and Creative Director of the brand Daniëlle Cathari. I’m 25 years old and I live in Amsterdam. Furthermore, I can be described as a pragmatic but also an intuitive person and one of my favourite things to do is ceramics.
// So …., tell us - what is your secret beauty hack?
My mother told me that you always have to rub your neck to prevent it from getting wrinkly, haha! I also do coconut pulling, where I take a spoonful of coconut oil in my mouth and chew it until it becomes liquid. Sounds gross and actually - it is - in the beginning. But I believe it whitens my teeth and prevents inflammation.
// What does your daily skincare routine look like?
My daily skincare routine is actually quite simple. My morning and evening routine are pretty much alike; in the morning I take a slightly milder face wash than in the evening. Then I moisturize my face with a serum and day or night cream. About twice a week I do a mask and an occasional scrub.
// Could you tell us some more about your fave products?
I have been using the same day and night cream for years. I once heard that it’s not very good to constantly use different products such as day and night cream. Whether it’s true or not, I also really enjoy experimenting with masks, serums and tools!
// What are your must-have beauty items when you’re on the go? A.K.A Those good old products that can always be found in your purse.
The rosebud lip balm! I’ve been using this one since my teenage years. A tube of Cosmydor handcream is also not to be missed!
// Which of your products would you like to replace for a greener alternative?
I would like to find serums and/or remedies that could correct my redness in a greener alternative. I've been looking for something that can take away the redness from my face for a while, but unfortunately I haven't found the right product yet. I’m very curious about the Bqk Radiance Face Serum from Biologi with 100% organic ingredients! [of course that's what we got her, and we're pretty sure she's gonna like 'm;))
// Is there any advice you would like to give our Greenbeauty Community?
Find out what your skin needs and which products best suit it. I also believe in occasionally booking a facial or otherwise making a mini spa with the products that suit you!
