What do your first 30 mins of the day look like, your morning routine?

My mornings are the best part of my day, especially when it comes to spending quality time with my family and so, as soon as I’m up in the morning, I’ll get my sons up and ready for school. When it comes to my routine; I always start my day with a grapefruit juice and coffee, this is the time that I treasure where myself, Yannis and the boys can spend some time together over a healthy breakfast before we all depart for the day. In regard to my skincare routine I will double cleanse with the Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser, apply my Cryo ATP Sports Booster and get ready for a workout which usually is a run in the park with my dog, Sparky, and husband.

How did you know it was the right time to launch your own brand and what were the stepping-stones to that point?

Initially we worked quietly on our capsule product collection which was strictly designed for our clients within the Clinic and little did we know at the time, Doctor brands were quickly becoming the new beauty authority. Yannis’s expertise, knowledge and constant contact with his clients gave us the inspiration behind each of our products. The real revelation was the unexpected reception received from the first product – the Y Theorem Serum. It was a complimentary treatment given to his patient’s post-surgery and the demand from them as well as from the retail outlets such as Harrods (at the time) was incredible. The result achieved wasn’t just about post-treatment recovery; it was focused on the daily healing of the skin.

You’re London based, how has that helped or hindered in growing your own brand globally?
