5 Minutes With Bec Judd
By: Hannah Gay
Bec Judd – the mum of four, model, science degree-holder, and The Skincare Company ambassador – shares her beauty philosophy.
Tell us a bit about who you are and what occupies your time?
“I’m Bec and I’m a mother of four. I originally trained as a speech pathologist with a science degree but am no longer actively practicing. I am a brand ambassador for The Skincare Company, Crown, Melbourne City Land Rover, and Mermaid. I’m also the co-founder of activewear label, Jaggad. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively in the media across TV and radio, and I’ve also authored a book. Life is incredibly busy and when I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my kids and getting around to their weekend sports.”
How would you describe your philosophy around beauty, skincare and makeup?
“I’m all about efficacy, simplicity, and science-backed ingredients when it comes to skincare. I don’t have time for complicated routines, so I need products that deliver real results while being easy to use. I want clean makeup formulas that enhance my skin without feeling heavy. Nothing overly fake or strongly fragranced – just lightweight, breathable products that sit beautifully on my skin. I simply don’t have time to be doing full glam all the time, so makeup products that are quick to apply and skin-friendly are my go-to.”
This year you are celebrating a decade in partnership with The Skincare Company – an amazing milestone! How did this partnership come about?
“The partnership started when Jo – the founder of The Skincare Company – approached my team. She said, ‘I’ve created this incredible skincare line, and I’d love for Bec to try it and let us know what she thinks.’ I get sent a lot of skincare and was receiving new products monthly, but The Skincare Company stood out immediately – it actually worked, and I noticed visible results straight away.
The product that hooked me? The AHA and BHA Exfoliant Serum. I didn’t read the instructions to use 1-2 pumps and applied way too much all over my face on the first go. The next morning, my skin was peeling like I’d had a professional Fraxel treatment! I’d never seen anything like the cell turnover from this one product – it was a real game changer. I thought ‘wow, she’s really onto something here’, so I got behind the brand and it’s been an amazing decade of partnership since.”
In three words, how would you describe your daily skincare and makeup routine?
“Clean, simple, effective.”
What are your go-to products from The Skincare Company’s extensive line of skincare and makeup?
“My everyday routine has stayed fairly consistent over the last decade. In the morning, I use the Vitamin C Serum, Hyaluronic B5 Serum and the Hydrating Moisturiser. At night, I use the Daily Cleanser, Exfoliant Serum, and the Hydrating Moisturiser again. I love that it’s so easy to go between morning and night products.
I also wear the Daily Defence SPF 50 every single day. I believe that SPF is the best anti-ageing product there is and the most powerful way you can support your skin. This SPF is great because it never makes me break out and is the perfect primer for my makeup as well.
My other go-to products are context- dependent. For example, if I have a red- carpet event coming up, I’ll load up on the Peptide Serum to really plump the skin and provide a collagen boost. If I’m on a long- haul flight, I’ll add some Hydration Booster to my moisturiser to rehydrate my skin.”
What about The Skincare Company’s ethos continues to inspire this ambassadorship?
“For me, it’s their commitment to science- backed innovation. The brand is always evolving, always improving, and each new product we create is formulated with purpose. I also love that it’s Australian Made, ethically-produced, and designed by experts who know skin. There’s no crap in the products – just potent ingredients your skin actually craves. It’s been incredible to watch the company grow, and I’m so proud to be a part of it.”
Do you feel a pull toward Australian businesses in the partnerships you take on?
“Absolutely! It’s so important to support our own and champion local brands. Seeing The Skincare Company expand and thrive has been so rewarding, and I love knowing I’ve played a part in helping this incredible Australian business to grow.”
