Beauty therapist Jocelyn Petroni has been the pampering queen for 15 years, bringing her perfect manicures and holistic facials to celebrities such as Miranda Kerr and Rita Ora.

What I’m loving right now I’m obsessed with skin hydration, so I’m excited to see what impact Vida Glow Hyaluronic Complex (vidaglow.com, $110), a new ingestible serum, will have on my skin. It’s such a clever idea.

Beauty icon Actor and model Jeanne Damas: she has a classic French elegance that looks effortless.

The rule I live by I practise Tibetan Buddhism and the following script has always resonated with me: “All that you are arises from your thoughts. With your thoughts, you make your world.”

Top tip Wear sunscreen. And add a couple of drops of a good-quality oil to your moisturiser when you need it. Hydrated skin is happy skin.

Must-have product Mesoestetic Melan 130 Pigment Control (adorebeauty.com.au, $89) is a brilliant formula not only for sun protection but also for a great finish. It gets me a lot of compliments every time I wear it.

Favourite nail colour I love the calmness and openness of blue, but my favourite colour for nails is red for its classic versatility and fun, sexy wearability.
