Self-care will forever be our favourite hobby but we appreciate that recharging and putting yourself first looks different for everyone. Each week, we'll ask the celeb lot to share their ideal self-care Sunday routines, the hard-working beauty products they recommend to their friends and which TV show they're currently binging…

This week it's all about Georgia Harrison, the reality TV star best known for starring on Love Island -season three and All Stars. The 29-year-old is a regular face on our screens and has starred in plenty of our favourite shows including TOWIE,Ex On The Beachand this year's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which she heroically won, proving she is one tough cookie indeed.

Georgia is not just hilarious and entertaining to watch, but also an award-winning activist. She's a passionate voice for women and determined to help victims of image-based sexual abuse seek justice after her own very public case, which saw a successful conviction and an amendment in the law.

Georgia chats exclusively to heat about her self-care routine, skincare rituals and the wise advice she lives by...

On self-care

What does the ultimate self-care Sunday look like for the star?

"When I wake up, I make myself a nice cup of hot cacao which is really good for opening up your heart chakra. It's a really uplifting and relaxing start to the day. It's also good for women when they're on their period because it's full of iron.

"I also love doing skincare - I love the Garnier Micellar Water, £6 and I love a sheet mask. I always use a jade roller that you keep in the freezer and roll it up and down your face. I actually also love to dermaplane, which is basically an at-home face shaver. I ordered mine from Amazon and it gives you smooth skin and makes your make-up look flawless. It's good if I've got a big event or red carpet coming up, I'll always do that before."

On juicing

"I love juicing. I've got a proper good juicer because I'm a big fan of Jason Vale and I go to his retreats and they teach you how to juice. I also love a smoothie and my go-to at the moment has avocado, dates, almond butter, spirulina, oat milk, a banana and some ice. It's a proper thick green smoothie and it's so nice."

On budget beauty buys

"I love the Maybelline Sky High Mascara, £9 it's so good and makes my eyelashes look incredible. I normally use the Chanel one which is ridiculous and like £30, but this one is just as good. It's the best mascara ever, I love it.

"I also love the new Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint Foundation, £9.99. It has such good coverage and it stays on for ages. It doesn't affect my skin because some foundations can give you bad skin but this never affects mine and it's so affordable compared to foundations I'd usually use. It's my go-to at the moment."

On tanning

"I swear by the St Moriz Tanning Face Spray, £9.99. You put it on before bed, and leave it on for eight hours for a natural tan. Now I'm getting a bit older, I'm trying not to get in the sun as much. Olivia Attwood's always telling me that when I'm getting the sun on my skin it's literally my skin singeing! I'm now more conscious of keeping my face out of the sun so the St Moriz face tanner is getting me through."

On make-up tips

"I've seen all the influencers doing this new thing where they make a V shape with two fingers on the top of their cheekbones and there's where they put bronzer or contour. You just apply in the V and it really lifts your face.

"I also love fake freckles. Lottie London do a really good freckle pen, £6.95 that's really cheap. I like doing a layer of freckles and rubbing it in and then doing another later so it looks like you can see them underneath each other. I think it makes you look younger and takes the attention off your wrinkles and spots!"

On daily wellness habits

What are the non-negotiables in Georgia's routine to ensure she feels her best self?

"Meditation is something I always do my best to get in and I like to use Headspace to do that. That's what taught me how to meditate in the first place. Sometimes if I'm just sitting there, I start overthinking but when I have a meditation track on, I really zen out and reset.

"Hot yoga is something that keeps me on track. I'm going to one called Hot Yoga Essex with my friend later and it's just so good for releasing toxins from your body and helping you overcome thoughts in your mind. I feel like hot yoga also helped me on SAS because it trained me to get used to being severely uncomfortable."

On life-changing books

"The Magic by Rhonda Byrne is amazing. I actually went through a stage a few years ago where if someone sent me a really long DM and was really struggling, I would send them a signed copy of the book and put a little note in it. It's the follow-on book from The Secret, but it's a 28-day task book and every day you have a task to complete and it really helps change your mindset. I always feel so good when I do it."

On wise advice

"I love the quote, 'This too shall pass'. It's something that I always try and think about, especially when I was on SAS. It basically means no matter what, this moment is always going to pass. If you're feeling really happy and you're with your friends and you're having a good time - really revel in it and be so grateful for it because that time will pass and you're not always going to be together in that moment in time.

"But at the same time, if you're going through hardship, maybe grief, a breakup or you're physically uncomfortable in the gym you can always tell yourself that time is feeling and this too shall pass. Just stay resilient and stay strong, you won't always feel that way."

Quickfire round:

Show you’re currently binging? TOWIE.

Go-to cuppa? No sugar and a splash of oat milk.

Go-to loungewear brand? Nasty Gal do some wicked pyjamas, I wore them in the villa.

Everyday perfume? I'm wearing Miss Dior, £72 at the moment and everyone keeps commenting on it.
