Becki Murray

Becki Murray is one of the only UK journalists to hold a Distinction-grade diploma in cosmetic science. As a freelance beauty and wellness editor, she uses her unique blend of scientific expertise and editorial insight to help readers discover what really works and why. Whether she’s dissecting ingredient innovations, challenging misleading claims, or helping brands communicate their science with clarity, Becki aims to cut through hype, greenwashing, and ingredient jargon to make beauty far less confusing. 

Becki began her career at Harper’s Bazaar, where she climbed the ranks from assistant to editor, before realising she wanted a deeper understanding of the science behind the products she was writing about. After retraining in cosmetic science, Becki then sharpened her skills in the Hearst UK scientific testing lab, where she put new launches under the microscope - literally.

Today, Becki continues to merge editorial expertise with scientific rigour, with by-lines for titles including Marie Claire, Get The Gloss, The Tweakments Guide, and Citizen Femme, as well as through her work as a presenter, brand consultant and social media coordinator.

Outside of work, Becki is a keen ultra-marathon runner whose nerdiness for skincare is rivalled only by her love for good coffee, good music and good theatre.
