Why I Finally Decided to Launch My Own Skincare Line


For years, I’ve sat here and shared my favourite beauty finds, fashion hauls, and life updates with you. But for the last few months, behind the scenes and under the cover of night, I’ve been working on something that feels like the biggest "full circle" moment of my life.

Meet Muse de Soi.

The name translates to “Muse of Oneself,” and honestly? I think I needed to create this brand just as much for myself as I did for all of you.


The "Wake Up Call" of Motherhood

Being a first-time mum is the most incredible experience, but if I’m being completely honest, I found myself losing my identity in the middle of it all. Between the nappies and the constant needs of a tiny human, "Kat" started to feel like a distant memory.

I’ve always been someone who finds their confidence in those small rituals, doing my hair, or that ten minute skincare routine at the end of the day. It’s how I pour back into my own cup. But on maternity leave, I realised I had no time for myself, and I was struggling to find products that actually solved my skin’s "new mum" stress.

It was a total wake-up call. I’ve dreamt of launching a skincare brand for years, and suddenly I found myself thinking: Helloooo... why aren't you doing it already?


Built on Nap-Times and Ambition

Launching a brand while being self-employed and raising a newborn isn't the "glamorous" founder story you see on Instagram. It was built in the trenches.

Because I don't have a traditional maternity leave with my social media business, I spent every spare second I had, while my son napped beside me and I stayed up until 2:00 or 3:00 AM obsessing over every single detail.

I spent those quiet hours perfecting the formulas, building the website from scratch, and making sure the packaging felt as luxe as the ingredients inside. I sampled every single iteration until I finally fell in love with a routine that actually worked for that "happy medium" skin struggle.


The Muse de Soi Collection

I wanted to create a range that makes you feel like your own muse. It’s high-performance, bioactive, and microbiome-focused skincare for people who don't have hours to spend in front of the mirror but still want "real results."

The Foundation:

The Treatments:

  • Bioactive Prebiotics Jelly Serum: My absolute baby. It clears, hydrates, and doubles as the dreamiest makeup primer you’ll ever try.

  • Face Mist: The ultimate "pick-me-up." I keep this on my desk (and in my nappy bag) for a hit of hydration whenever my skin feels tired.

  • Peptide Serum: For when you need the "big guns." It’s designed to firm, plump, and give that resilient, youthful bounce back to the skin.

The Finishing Touch:

  • The Moisturiser: The final hug for your face. It locks everything in with a silky finish that isn't greasy, just perfectly balanced.


A Little Thank You

I am so nervous but so incredibly excited to finally let you in on this. As a thank you for being part of my journey from the very beginning, I’ve made things easy.

I’ve set the shop to automatically apply 10% off every order for the next few months. And if you’re grabbing the full routine, any order over £80 will also get Free Shipping automatically. No codes, no stress, just a little gift from me to you.

Thank you for supporting my dream while I navigate this wild, beautiful chapter of motherhood. I can't wait to see your #MusedeSoi glows.

With love
