Fostering connection is Sophie McIntyre’s calling.
As the founder of Club Sup – an events community dedicated to helping people find new friends through good food and great conversation – when it comes to wellness, Sophie puts connection above all else.
“Connection is probably the most fundamental part of wellbeing,” Sophie says.
Leaving the comfort of home to meet a room full of strangers is, for most, a highly intimidating prospect, but Sophie’s magic is in her ability to bring people together and cultivate a warm, relaxed environment where everyone feels welcome.
Pouring so much of herself into the wellness of others means it’s key that Sophie invests in keeping her own cup full, a feat she mostly manages by sticking to small yet significant acts of self-care.
Reading in her light-flooded living room, regular acupuncturze, and spending time unwinding with her partner all play a role.
So too, does her kit of hard-working products.
Workout Wash – a body cleanser made with AHA and PHA exfoliants – clears the day away, while nourishing Kissing Balm keeps chatty lips unchapped all day long.
In a role so revolved around socialising, ensuring the evenings are safeguarded for rest and social-battery recharge is a priority for Sophie.
Good Night Balm forms part of her evening routine, a tea-tree-spiked sleep-in treatment that gets to work overnight, leaving her skin feeling hydrated and plump by the time the sun comes up.
Sleep Powder is another nightly ritual, the calming tonic inviting sleep and relieving unwanted tension. When she really struggles to sleep, Good Night Pillow Mist is a shortcut to calm.
For Sophie, kit is the Australian-made skincare staple that has finally filled the gap.
“I don’t really see myself represented in many beauty brands,” Sophie says.
“But with kit... that’s the life I live.”
