Kate Ritchie Interview On Beauty Routine

Kate Ritchie is one of Australia’s most-loved personalities. We all remember watching her on our screens as little Sally Fletcher on Home and Away and more recently we’ve heard her on our drive home as part of Nova’s Kate, Tim and Marty radio team. Not too long ago Kate added ‘mother’ to her huge list of accomplishments and last week she was announced as QV’s newest ambassador. So, just how does she juggle it all!? We had a chat with her recently and here’s what she shared with us…

RELATED: 5 minutes with Sam Frost

1) Has being a mother changed your perception of the importance of skin and body care?

I have always known the importance of skin and body care but have to admit being faced with a brand new little body with perfect, untouched skin does make you wish you had looked after yours a little more! When my daughter was born I did find myself wondering why we are generally okay about all the nasties we put on our skin every day and have since pared everything right back. This is how my relationship with QV was born and my skin couldn’t be happier that I am being a lot kinder to it these days!

2) What does your daily beauty routine look like?

I use a mixture of QV and QV Face products in the shower each morning. I highly recommend QV Intensive Moisturising Cleanser followed by a lathering of QV Skin Lotion and if I have time to wash my hair, I’ll be using the Oribe line of shampoo and conditioner for blondes as my hair is currently a lot lighter than it once was and needs extra TLC. I wear a light moisturiser and an SPF every day and can get away with very little make-up on most days in the Nova studio. Maybe a little concealer, a generous coat of mascara, a splash of cheek [tint/blush] (I like the cream variety) and lip balm to combat the air conditioning.

3) How do you balance being a career woman and a mum?

This is still a work in progress and I am not sure that is going to change any time soon as no two weeks in my schedule are ever the same. Most of my ‘balance’ has come from letting go of the reins a little and understanding that I can’t control everything anymore and I won’t always get everything done! I am also very lucky that my radio gig allows me creative consistency as well as plenty of time at home. It’s all the other things I try to commit to that make things crazy!

4) Which three products are your go-to when it comes to caring for your child's skin?

QV Baby Gentle Wash
Bepanthen for bottoms
If in doubt, warm water and cuddles

5) Which three products are your go-to when it comes to caring for your own skin?

A tinted moisturiser with SPF for early morning simplicity. There are loads on the market so it’s all about finding the perfect colour match for you.
QV Intensive Moisturising Cleanser. It’s full of glycerin and so luxurious.
QV Lip Balm

6) What's your number one beauty tip?

Plenty of sleep! Closely followed by no alcohol or MSG before bed!

What did you think of Kate’s beauty tips? Are you a working mum? If so, how do you juggle kids and work?

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.

When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

She's on a winner with QV. I have sensitive skin and when I can afford it I get the moisturiser that comes in the tub for my legs and I get zero itchies. Its awesome.

An interesting article and some good tips. My husband has very sensitive skin and uses QV for everything - body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body moisturiser and face moisturiser.

Great article. I remembered seeing her on Home & Away but that was a very long time ago, I haven't tried these product's yet. Looking after your skin is the most important thing & there are soo many product's out there that say they do this & that but if that product can really deliver then that's great & yes sometimes it can be most simple thing's like the QV product range so I'll give this a try.

My hubby has always used QV and I never quite understand why. That was until my bub has a reaction to one of the "natural" products (she started peeling) and then we switched to QV bath oil - she healed so quickly. I am starting to become a QV convert - sometimes, back to basic is the best!

I'm glad she added the ..'.before bed' on the alcohol and msg! haha Kate Richie has really grown up on tv! A true Truman. I think she looks the best yet. Sounds like being a mum is agreeing with her.
