“Be silly, be honest, be kind” is a motto turned lifestyle for travel writer Christina Macpherson. Here she gives the lowdown on her on-the-road beauty routine, and tips for letting your hair down in the spirit of Daisy Love.

My top five beauty products are …
Marc Jacobs Daisy Love EDT
A light moisturiser with SPF (I use Decléor)
Aveda Shampure Dry shampoo (a must for anyone with a fringe!)
Eco Tan Face Tan water
Glossier Boy Brow

My travel beauty routine consists of ...
Cleansing morning and night, staying hydrated (on the inside and out), and stretching - it softens the mind and body, which helps everything else.

The best beauty secret I've learned from a friend is ...
Taking care of the inner helps the outer.

When it comes to beauty, I always think ...
That a smile can make a world of difference. It softens you, which softens others, and that's a very beautiful thing.

My beauty icon is ...
Far too many women define that word for me. From the beautiful intelligence of Marie Curie, to the carefree culture that is Jane Birkin. From the strength of [Michelle] Obama to the most wonderfully beautiful person inside and out I know - Maggy, my mum.

My favourite beauty ritual to do with a friend is ...
I'm not sure if I have a specific one, but it'd involve face masks and wine.

The best advice on beauty I've received from my mother is ...
"You don't need that, you look beautiful as you are."

To me living life to the fullest looks like ...
Experiencing, learning, loving, and striving to make the world better; be it by small changes or great ones. We are here for such a fleeting time, do good and live well.

The product I can't live without ...
Dry Shampoo because it's the hero-of-hair, and a beautiful perfume that can make you feel amazing (I know a goodie ... ;))
