Lyndsey Butler oozes the kind of effortless, woke-up-like-this energy that we all strive for on the day to day. The kind of approach that is wake, shower, get dressed, and get out the door, which honestly isn’t too far from the truth. Perhaps Lyndsay is one of the lucky ones, as we tend to think in our heads, or perhaps she knows herself well and is confident in her ways. If it wasn’t already apparent in her Off Duty interview, the 30-something founder of the ultra-cool clothing brand Veda has a laid-back, go-with-the-flow demeanor, so it should come as no surprise that her beauty routine possesses that same easygoing feeling to match. It’s simple, to the point, and cool as a cucumber. Read on to discover what this founder and creative director is loving as of late, and how she gets prepped for a busy day at her blooming brand, below.
Tell us a bit about your morning routine: “I don’t spend too much time on my face, hair, or makeup. Most of my morning time goes to getting dressed. After my first cup of coffee, I start thinking about my outfit. Then, I try on a minimum of two to three options, pick one, and head to work.”
Shower in the morning, at night, or both? “Night, unless I workout in the morning.”
Tell us a bit about your (AM) skincare routine: “Splash cold water on my face, then dry it off. Spray rose water, then apply a Vitamin C serum and Pratima oil, and top off with Aveeno Daily Moisturizer with SPF. That’s pretty much it.”

Tell us a bit about your haircare: “I wash it one to two times a week because it is bleached and doesn’t get super oily, so it doesn’t really need to be washed very often. Right now, my hair has some pink in it, so I use this conditioner that deposits some color — Overtone in Pastel Pink.”
