TV Personality, Co-Founder of Revive Collagen, and mum of three Sam Faiers reveals the products and practices that get her through the day.

I’m definitely a morning person. I have my alarm set at 5.45 a.m, every morning, Monday to Friday. I have to be alert and ready for my day. Because I’m a mum of three, mornings are so busy and chaotic that I don’t really have a set wellness routine, though I’d love to!

I always make sure I’m up before the children so I can shower, take my Revive Collagen with a cup of tea, and have half an hour to myself before the chaos begins. Then I get the children ready for school. After the school run, I always make myself some eggs. That’s the best way to start my day!

During the day, I drink lots of water. I have a hydrogen water machine at home which oxygenates the water and gives me energy. I eat a balanced diet, mainly non-processed food with organic meat, vegetables, and fruit. I also love my snacks and enjoy a takeaway once a week – I love a curry takeaway. Paul and I have a local one we always go to once a week. And I love a biscuit. I know it’s boring, but I love a rich tea biscuit and I don’t go a day without one.

I try my best to work out, but I’m not always consistent. With travel, the kids, and their busy schedules, workouts sometimes take a back seat. When I’m in the country, I aim for two to three sessions a week. I love lifting weights. I’m not a cardio girl. Pilates is okay, but weightlifting is my thing. I don’t take anything to support it. It just makes me feel good once it’s done.

My skincare is very basic. I take my Revive Collagen sachets daily, and when it comes to creams, I use an organic raw tallow cream. I’ve tried many high-end brands over the years, but tallow just works for me. I also love a Korean under-eye cream I discovered recently. I don’t wash my hair daily, only two to three times a week with shampoo, conditioner, and a nice treatment – I like Gisou’s products. Makeup-wise, I love Vieve, Laura Mercier, and Armani’s ‘Luminous Silk Foundation’ for a dewy finish. And Summer Friday’s lip balms, thanks to Rosie, who’s seven and already knows more about makeup than I do!

I always have my Revive Collagen sachet and now also our functional mushroom sachets for focus and cognitive support. I take glutathione drops in the morning for energy, and I’m a big believer in vitamin C. I top it up with a strong powder from Clive De Carle.

I don’t really have an evening skincare routine. I wash my face in the shower with a warm flannel and avoid exfoliating. I love a bath but rarely have time during the week, so if I’m lucky, I’ll have a pamper afternoon on the weekend. Most days, it’s just a quick in-and-out shower.

Monday to Friday, I aim to have the kids in bed by 8pm. I avoid caffeine after 4pm, and I take our Sleep & Inner Calm functional mushroom collagen every evening to help me sleep better. Sometimes I’ll have a chamomile tea. I leave my phone in another room and sleep in complete darkness with no lamps or light through the door. I like lights out, close my eyes, and straight to sleep.

I’m very mindful of my mental health and how I process things. I’m not a stressy person. It’s just my personality, but I’ve also learned over the years to not sweat the small stuff. I try to teach that to my kids too. If things get a bit much, I love having a hug with Paul and a cup of tea. It grounds me and brings me back to earth.
