Skincare Staples and Irish Whimsy: Inside Kinvara Skincare Founder Joanne Reilly's Moodboard
As the founder of award-winning natural skincare brand Kinvara, Joanne Reilly understands that the best things in life are clean, classic and full of character.

We caught up with Joanne to find out her recent reads, favourite designers, skincare staples and more.

When I need to recharge, I go to my friend’s family farm, Tory Hill House, in Limerick, where they sell their own raw dairy delicacies and have regular farm walks. It’s like stepping back in time into a Bord Fáilte advert for bucolic bliss with dogs, ducks, pigs and more.

Stable of Ireland is just that – a stable for Irish brands that celebrate Irish materials, culture and whimsy.

An oldie but goodie that I still love is Euthymol toothpaste. I like the distinctive taste and pink colour. All other toothpastes are meh in comparison.

Anyone who has seen me on our social media will know my hair is unruly with a life of its own, but Wella Shockwaves Curls & Waves Mousse 3, seems to tame it more predictably than most haircare products.

A skincare staple is our own Kinvara 24-Hour Rosehip Face Serum. It keeps my skin in check, healthy, glowing and comfortable. Could not be without it.

A favourite follow online is the Walk for Peace Instagram page – I just stumbled onto the journey of this group of monks who walked from Texas to Washington DC; a 2,300 mile walk with no agenda but to help foster peace in the world.

I love the label Weekend Max Mara – wearable, investments that are somehow classic and modern.

I recently read and loved Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. The story depicts middle America spanning world wars and how a simple lie can have unforeseen consequences. Very readable.
