I first met Kate when I was beauty director at Tatler magazine many years ago. I happened to be in LA, and asked some friends which facialist might be worth visiting, and hers was the name that came up time and time again. But her's is not an overnight sensation type of story - she worked in a top cosmetic surgery office for many years before setting up on her own as an aesthetician and developing her own skincare line.

 For Keeping Face she shares the struggles of her childhood, growing up with a mother whose dependence on alcohol rocked her own confidence, until she was brave enough to leave home and find her own positive role models. Acquired by Unilever Prestige in 2015, she's come a long, long way since then.
