Daily Rituals Insider #5
Meet Dani Nicholls, the corporate girly turned full-time content creator.
This is part 2 of Dani’s Insider Interview. Enjoy - it’s juicy!
⚬ You’ve said yourself you’ve been on quite the skin journey. What are your current go-to skincare products and treatments (aside from peels)?
Right now, I’m loving:
My Shark CryoGlow LED mask - the de-puff feature is next level.
SkinCeuticals P-TIOX has been a game-changer for keeping my forehead smooth without Botox (I haven’t had Botox for over a year now!).
Caudalie Vinoperfect is a staple for even skin tone.
I’m also diving into more laser treatments this year - stay tuned!
⚬ You’re stranded on a desert island and can only bring three products. What makes the cut?
⚬ Content creation is such a huge part of your life now. What’s the most rewarding part? And the most challenging?
Most rewarding: Connecting with my community. Seeing people feel more confident in their skincare choices and hearing about their transformations is incredible. I love chatting with my girls on TikTok Live - it genuinely feels like I’m hanging out with friends.
Most challenging: Consistently showing up, especially when life gets tough. Last year, my autoimmune diagnosis and medication side effects made it hard to feel like myself on camera. But my community’s support kept me going.
⚬ Do you have any favourite wellness or beauty spaces?
Rebase for cold plunges.
Remedy Place (LA) - my fave wellness hub.
Re Place for lymphatic drainage & recovery.
Nobu Pilates - Marsha’s classes are a must.
Aire for a luxe spa day with friends.
The Ned for a staycation (I’ve been a member for a few years and love the vibe).
⚬ How do you stay inspired creatively? Any wellness rituals that help?
Travel is a huge source of inspiration, and I’m lucky to do it often. I also love tennis and horse riding - they’re my escapes. Daily Kindle reading has been a game-changer for my sleep, along with Loop earplugs (backed by my Oura Ring stats!).
⚬ What’s something that’s always in your bag?
E45 Dry Skin Cream & Lip Balm (lifesaver), Touchland Sanitizer (I bulk-buy in the US), and Listerine Strips (fresh breath always!).
⚬ What’s lighting you up right now—a book, podcast, beauty trend, or something else?
My new project! I can’t share details yet, but I’m so excited.
Also, YouTube - I’m posting twice a week, and I’m loving the community. Plus, I recently got a new camera so I’ve been diving into photography too (currently self-teaching via YouTube and ChatGPT!).
⚬ Do you have a beauty or skincare hack that’s been a game-changer for you?
Stop double cleansing every single day! I know it’s “the rule,” but over-cleansing broke me out. Now, I use micellar water + a cleanser on makeup days, and just a gentle cream cleanser on skincare-only days. My skin is thriving.
⚬ Finally, is there anything else you’d love to leave our readers with?
Don’t be afraid to try something new. If it doesn’t serve you, pivot. I can’t imagine where I’d be if I hadn’t ventured out and started sharing content on TikTok. You never know what could happen!
