Tell us about yourself!
My name is Susan Korn and I am the NYC-based founder of Susan Alexandra. I’m passionate about creating dazzle — whether it’s a signature beaded bag, intricate jewelry or a drinking glass!
What is your ideal morning routine?
I wake up and it’s a paramount that I don’t rush the morning process. I make coffee and I get back into bed with my dog. Then I sort of plan out the rest of my day. I’ll go to the gym and work on some solo projects, which are usually more introspective and creative. I try to head to the office or the store to see the team. And I love to cook so there’s always something that I’m making, that’s a really special part of my day.
What role does sunscreen play in your life?
I am always wanting to look my best, and sunscreen gives me the confidence to do my best job. Being free and active is so important to me. I live in NYC, a city where you’re constantly on the go and running around. When I wear my protective layer of Unitay Pro! sunscreen, I feel like I’m protected and free. And I’m always seeking a patch of sun!
How do you incorporate sunscreen into your daily routine?
It’s a highlight in my morning routine! I splash water on my face, apply moisturizer and then Glowscreen SPF 40 for a light shimmery protective glow.
