@skincare_soul on instagram started this tag. Thought it would give you an insight on my skincare journey.
How and when did you get into k-skincare/beauty?
Face sheet masks, so innovative and different from traditional face masks. My love for them hasn’t faded.
What is your favourite skincare step?
Cleansing – I love seeing the results all that grime and makeup off until you have a clean base to put other skincare products. I feel eeky if I don’t cleanse properly and feel other skincare products aren’t as effective. Treatments/nourish a close second, I feel these products have active ingredients that do the most work and produce results.
What is you favourite skincare ingredient?
Avocado and omega’s – nourishment for my skin.
Which products are currently on your wish list?
- Sunday Riley Good Genes for exfoliating, diminishing visible dark spots and brightening.
- Bobbi brown illuminating balm I have tried a few samples, this gives such a flow from within. Mixes well with moisturiser and foundation.
- Estée Lauder ANR oil in mask this was launched this year, I think this mask in oil will work hand in hand with my Advanced Night Repair serum which keeps me hydrated.
Which brand/product would you never spend your money on?
This is hard but I tend not to go for hyped products that influencers are pushing. If I do buy I always wait for the hype to die down.
What is your biggest skincare regret?
Not wearing sunscreen sooner, its a myth if you are dark skin that melanin is protecting you. Secondly not drinking enough water.
What is your holy grail skincare trick?
I have a few!
- Never sleep in make up no matter how tired you are. Your skin will thank you in the morning for sure.
- Instead of rubbing serums or creams use patting motion on your face, I feel it penetrates the skin better. Rubbing products feels like you are just moving it from one place to another.
- Always remember your neck and decolletage as part of your skincare.
- I use any excess products while doing my skincare on the back of my hands.
- Exfoliate at least once a week.
What are 3 of your all time skincare products?
As somone who loves skincare it is difficult to have any forever skincare products. Howver, I’ve used these for a while. Pixi glow tonic, Advanced night repair cleansing gel and Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face base. Of course this may change if I find something better.
Who is your skincare inspiration?
carolinehirons I don’t use #carolinehironsmademedoit lightly on my Instagram posts she really made me pay attention to my skin and skincare ingredients.

stephanienicole is a vlogger, she is so knowledgeable about skincare ingredients and I love how she explains it
What is your 2017 skincare goal?
- Get rid of hyper pigmentation and dark spot
- I love buying skincare products, however, I want to nail my skincare staples rather than have endless skincare products which I hardly reach for after initial use.
