Similar to my skin, figuring out what works best for my hair has been a journey and a half. I spent most of my youth frustrated with my frizzy, unruly locks that could not be tamed. After almost four years of wearing my hair naturally, switching up my routine, and trialling product after product, I […]

As someone who suffers from acne-prone skin, I am used to trying to find products that tackle redness. Inflammation and acne spots never look good on the skin.

Being in London for the last six months has caused my usual summer ocean swimming habits to take a steep downward plunge. So, when I swam off the side […]

It’s no secret now that I love Korean skincare. What better to accompany product recommendations on this blog than to share a Korean skincare routine that you can try on your own. Many have created these routines with 10 steps – I am going to give it to you in 8 – how lucky are […]

For me, part of having a skincare blog is being transparent about how my skin is looking & progressing.
