Leith’s essentials

- I put on dresses the most. I like garments that make me smile or come to feel like I’m in a movie. My favourite labels incorporate Valentino, Miu Miu, Erdem and Honor.

- I hate cooking. I eat out and order in a whole lot. If I make anything at all it truly is raw, or I steam vegetables and fish. A naturopath eliminated wheat from my diet regime many years ago as I had back pains.

– I check out the hairstylist Luke Hersheson if my fringe will get in my eyes or I want a J Sheekey dinner date. He is great for the two.

– I have scorching water and lemon each morning, and I do juice cleanses periodically. I have had them delivered by Radiance Cleanse, but last week my husband (the set designer James Hatt) and I did the Juice Master cleanse and produced the juices ourselves.

– I use Eve Lom Cleanser in the morning and Arcona Cranberry Toner Triad Pads in the evening. I consider to do a mask each other week. The Borghese mud mask is my favourite correct now.

- When travelling I take spirulina and maca powder so I do not get sick. I use SK-II moisturising masks after lengthy flights and carry Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist for on the plane.

– I enjoy bath oils from the Auberge Du Soleil spa in Napa Valley. If I am not in a rush, right after a bath I use Ren Moroccan Rose physique oil ( renskincare.com ).
