A story about craftsmanship, nourishment and learning to care with presence.
What happens when a decorative antique restorer, a nutritional therapist, and a yoga teacher create a skincare line?
You get Hux+Mū, a skincare brand rooted in restoration, nourishment and rhythm.
It did not arrive all at once, but slowly, through experience.
One practice informed the next, until I realised they weren’t separate at all - but part of the same approach: to pay attention, to preserve what matters, and to care deeply for what’s already there.
Restoration: Respecting What Has Been Left Behind
My first language was craftsmanship.
I spent years restoring antiques, gilding 18th-century painted furniture, cleaning back old layers of paint, and preserving patina without stripping away the story. The process taught me how to work with care. To know when to intervene, and when to step back.
It wasn’t about making things look new. It was about bringing presence to something that had endured.
That approach now lives in everything I create at hux + mū.
Skincare isn’t about changing what’s there, it’s about recognising the beauty that remains, and supporting it gently.
It doesn't need to be fixed or forced into behaving as it once did. It needs to be supported, replenished and treated with quiet respect.
Nutrition: Feeding What’s Been Depleted
Training as a nutritional therapist shifted my focus from surface to source.
It taught me to listen more carefully to what the body is asking for. Our skin is deeply responsive to how we live: to our diets, our stress levels, our hormones, our sleep. It reflects what’s missing as much as what’s present.
That’s why every hux + mū formula begins with a synergistic blend of nourishing oils and proven actives, carefully chosen to support maturing, sensitive skin.
I work with cold-pressed seed oils rich in omega fatty acids, botanical actives chosen for steady support, and barrier-focused ingredients such as ceramides, squalane and phytosterols. Each ingredient has a clear purpose: to nourish, replenish and support skin that may feel dry, sensitive or less resilient than before.
Ritual: Returning to the Body
Yoga taught me how to be present, to notice, to soften, to breathe.
That practice lives at the heart of every product in this range. hux + mū was created not just to nourish skin, but to offer a moment. A short pause, and a quiet return to the body.
The rituals I create are not designed to take up more space in the day. They are designed to make care easier to return to.
Whether it's gently cleansing your face at the end of the day, or pressing in a few drops of oil in the morning, these acts are about rhythm. A way to anchor the body, even briefly, in the now.
Over time, these small rituals can begin to support more than the skin. They can help us return to ourselves in a simple, practical way.
A Philosophy of Care
So what happens when a restorer, a therapist, and a yoga teacher create skincare?
You get products designed with precision and purpose. You get rituals that restore rhythm to your day. You get skincare that honours age, respects time, and works with the skin rather than against it.
At its core, Hux + Mū is about returning to a more respectful form of care. One that notices what the skin is asking for, nourishes what may feel depleted, and supports what is already there rather than trying to correct it into something else.
That is the thread running through my work: restoration, nutrition and ritual, brought together in formulas designed to feel practical, considered and easy to return to.
