Amelia Shean, PR at premium Skincare brand 111Skin discusses all things expert skincare, pre-wedding preparations and travel! Here is 9 Questions with Amelia Shean…
I love working in my industry because….
There are countless reasons I feel excited to get up in the morning and do what I do and keep smiling through the sometimes-stressful moments! To name a few…
The buzz you feel when you secure THAT piece of coverage you’ve been holding-out for, a feeling that will never get old.
The thrill when someone I admire complements 111SKIN on the efficacy of the products in a public forum and of course, the opportunity to travel and explore the world whilst working in an industry I love.
It’s busy but who wants to be sat still… not me!
I’m best known for…
Being clumsy!
My biggest achievement to date is…
Surviving a quarantine hotel!
My top three tips for taking care of your skin ahead of your wedding are…
111SKIN’s Global Head Aesthetician Milena Naydenov would recommend, in a perfect scenario, that a bride should start prepping three months prior, or a minimum of one month, to see optimum results – allowing for skin-cell turnover, which takes place every 28 days. Exfoliation is essential, to remove dead skin cells, stimulating cell turnover allowing for other products to penetrate the skin’s dermis layers more effectively. We would advise using the 111SKIN’s Celestial Black Diamond Multi-Acid Accelerated Peel and Exfolactic Cleanser, products that will also purify the skin and prevent any stress-related breakouts ruining a bride’s day.
The current wedding trends I’m loving are…
Micro weddings. It’s been such a bizarre time for all, and for so many of my friends as a consequence has been readjusting their wedding plans time and time again. The micro wedding trend was originally seen as such a bore, begrudgingly beholden to so many couples. However, the intimacy of the occasions turned out to be such a joy!
Hopefully a trend that will stand the test of time.
The podcast I’m listening to is…
‘My Therapist Ghosted Me’ for GUARANTEED laughs!
My favourite place in the world to skip the crowds is…
Venice. Nothing beats jumping in a Venetian boat from Harry’s Bar to the Cipriani for a cocktail (or three) by the pool. Skip the crowds, see the view, feel the wind in your hair and sip all the martinis. Absolute heaven!
The best person to follow on Instagram for big-day inspo – German dream girl @xeniaadonts for all her sartorial guidance, she’s also v. inspiring with her work ethic and humility.
And finally, what’s next…
We’re busy at 111SKIN, with a press trip to Mykonos and Fashion Month under our belts, we are looking forward to a Brand Trip to formally introduce 111SKIN’s Founders, Dr Yannis and Eva Alexandrides to the Middle Eastern audience, followed swiftly by events in the run up to Christmas.
2022 is the bearer of much more travel, and excitement around big-brand launches including new products and locations for our spa concept – 111SPA/CLINIC.
Just watch this space!
