About Sara Mitchell

I am Sara Mitchell, Beauty and Wellness Editor at MyBreezyLife — and I have a confession. I spent three years studying the science of what goes inside skincare products, and I still spent most of my twenties buying the wrong ones. Having the knowledge and knowing how to use it are very different things. That gap is what I write to close.

Background and Credentials

I studied Cosmetic Science at the London College of Fashion, UAL, graduating in 2015. It is one of the only dedicated cosmetic science degrees in the UK, and it means I can read an ingredient list the way a nutritionist reads a food label. Since then I have spent eight years in UK beauty — from formulating products in a lab to editing beauty content for UK digital publications to my current role as Beauty and Wellness Editor at MyBreezyLife, where I oversee all skincare, makeup, fragrance, hair care, and wellness content.

How I Write About Beauty

My focus is always on the ingredient. What it does, at what percentage, in what formulation, and whether the clinical evidence actually supports the marketing claim. I write for women who are done with vague promises and want to understand what they are actually putting on their skin. I test products on my own combination skin, I read the studies, and I only recommend things I genuinely believe work.

Beauty for Every Skin Tone

As a British-Indian woman with medium-olive skin, hyperpigmentation is something I write about from personal experience — not from a press release. I cover SPF for darker skin tones, products that work across a range of complexions, and the ingredients that address uneven skin tone with actual evidence behind them. I also prioritise halal and cruelty-free recommendations throughout my work because I believe every woman deserves products that align with her values.
