Camilla Downes

Who is Camilla? 

I'm a strong independent woman who has worked across multiple industries such as airlines and Health Pharmaceuticals, but settled into guiding and empowering clients through one of my passions, pilates. I am a proud mother of two beautiful girls and enjoy walking the journey of life with them and my husband.

What are your passions in life? 

My fitness, health and family are what drive my passion for life. I also take great pride in supporting others.

What is the lesson in life you live by?

Always lead from the front, love and respect each other and always keep your chin up!

How do you practise self-care / self-love?

Self love and care is sometimes hard to prioritise,  but I do however take great pleasure and peace in exercising, reading and looking after my health! 

Why do you think self-care is so important?

Self care is paramount in wellbeing! It’s the cornerstone of a healthy mind, body and soul. 

How do you ensure you prioritise the time to focus on your wellness journey?

I find that booking an exercise class, facial or treatment in advance increases my awareness that I am taking the time to put myself first and I look forward to that.

Who inspires you the most and why?

My children are my driving force and inspiration. 

What is your favourite Friismith product and why?

I love so many products in this range, but if I had to choose one it would be the i am [protected] tinted spf moisturiser.  It’s just perfect when you don’t feel like wearing makeup as it provides a light coverage, spf protection from the sun and is still hydrating to the skin.  

What does radiance mean to you?

I believe radiance comes from within but is personified by looking after yourself and your skin! In a fast paced world when time for ourselves is often scarce, it is so important to keep our bodies, minds and skin as strong and resilient as we can so we are ready to face whatever the world throws at us!
