A Little About Me

I moved from South Korea to the U.S. when I was 16, and my skin has never been the same since.

After years of trial and error, I’ve found products and routines that actually work for my dry skin. This blog is where I share them, the good and the not so good.

I’m not a dermatologist. Just someone who has tried a lot of skincare. I hope something here helps you too.
