She Loves Changing Scents

Tracee shared her secrets for creating Pattern Beauty with ELLE Magazine. She says that she wants each product’s scent to change. “I have a real thing about essential oils. I love fragrance that feels anchored in truth and doesn’t feel commercial or top note-y, and will remain the same fragrance over time. It bugs me when you spray a perfume, and 10 hours later, it smells like something different. An essential oil is alive, but it’s not going to transform into something else.”

She Loves Dry Brushing

Tracee tells ELLE Magazine that dry brushing is one of her beauty secrets. “I love dry brushing because of lymphatic drainage,” she explained. “At this age and with the amount that I travel, my body holds on to water, and dry brushing really helps me to release. Also, I don’t drink coffee, so waking up my lymphatic and nervous system with [brushing] really helps. Sometimes, I’ll dry brush in the bed before I get up in the morning or [even] on the airplane.”

When it comes to her hair and skin, Tracee believes in the same tip. “I believe for both my skin and hair that it’s all about hydration, hydration, hydration,” she said to British Vogue. “I focus on the water I put in [my body] and the moisture that I put onto my skin and my hair.”

Tracee shared her nighttime skincare routine with British Vogue. “Oh, my skincare routine is extensive. At night, if I’ve worn make-up when I’m working, I use Bioderma to remove my make-up. Then I use CosMedix Benefit Clean, which is a bit of a soapy cleanser, and I use it with a mitt. After that I do a Terri Lawton Serum Toner. Usually at night, I’ll apply the Retrouvé Intensive – it’s a really hydrating moisturiser – and then I put Biologique Recherche T.E.W.L. serum over that.”
