Discover Space NK: A Conversation with Francesco Clark, founder of Clarks Botanicals Q: Best Christmas memory? A: Growing up in Italy, being in Cortina with my family and cousins, gorging myself on gianduiotti chocolates and cheese. Q: Favourite Christmas tradition? A: Instead of asking for a gift from my mother, I would ask her to make me an extra bowl of her homemade tiramisu, hidden from the rest of the family rascals. Q: What is the best gift you ever received? A: Pablo Designs lamps for my work space. Q: What will you be bringing as host/hostess gifts this party season? A: I am loving Sullivan St Bakery because they make fresh Vanilla Bean custard filled Bomboloni by the dozen, which are addictive fresh Italian donuts, and some Diptyque candles to parties as gifts. Q: What is on your wish list this year? A: Anything by Tom Ford or Brunello Cucinelli and world peace, or some such. Q: Favourite seasonal dish? A: Tiramisu and stuffing, and anything with salted caramel. Q: What tips can you offer or products that help you to relax and avoid stress during the busy season? A: The holidays can be taxing on the skin, as you don’t have a lot of time to take proper care of it. I like to layer treatments to make up for this. Take your favourite serum and layer the Clark’s Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask and Clark’s Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask over it. This is a quicker way to seal in the active ingredients for longer. Q: Favourite carol? A: I like playing jazz-club versions of carols with a modern edge, so we can play them in the background while dancing, eating, and laughing. Also, Blue Christmas - “Dueling Basses”, an Elvis cover ft. Kate Davis. Q: Best festive film? A: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Q: The best last minute gift ideas? Why? A: Clark’s Botanicals Cellular Lifting Serum and Acqua Di Parma gift sets are great. The bottles are perfect to display in your bathroom or on your vanity. Q: What tips can you offer that help you to relax and avoid stress during the busy festive season? A: Refresh by using a scent that you might only use in the summer. It transports you to a different time of year, and even for a couple of a moments it will refresh you & distract from the busy season.
