My Best Work

These posts are the foundation to my skincare philosophy and what my blog is about.

“Perfect Skin”

This is why Niacinamide rocks. And why it’s still not in my top 3 all time ingredient rockstars.

The Best Vitamin

A very subjective post on my personal love and why I became obsessed with skincare.

What People are Actually Saying

After working inside the skincare industry, and having been a nerd for everything skincare for over 10 years, I’ve seen enough BS to last a lifetime. Some myths are just that – myths. But these ones piss me off the most— because they are based on predatory tactics, keep you stuck, wasting money, and chasing an impossible standard.

“You NEED to do this.”

The idea of ‘perfect skin’ has been manufactured. Go find that term on any academic papers. I’ll wait…

“Dermatologist-Approved”

Brands just need one derm to say “sure” to put it on a label. “Clean Beauty” – fear-based marketing.

“There’s a reason [product] is trending.”

Everyone glazing a product on tiktok just means brands have deep pockets and a big budget.

ABOUT ME

Who’s Behind That K Glow?

My channel is faceless, but an intro is in order.

Not a dermatologist. Not a beauty guru. Just someone who’s worked in the industry and seen enough skincare BS to last a lifetime.
I previously worked as head of branding for a k-beauty company right in the heart of South Korea. And got to see all kinds of things that, as a skincare enthusiast of more than a decade, was heartbraking. Watching brands overprice products, push fear-based marketing, and sell you routines you don’t need is the last thing that’s necessary for good skin. Now, I decided to break the fourth wall so you can actually know what really works – and what’s just hype.
Just raw industry truths, cool skincare insights, and zero-filter rants on my iPad notes.
This blog isn’t about selling you another serum. It’s about understanding how skincare really works -so you stop wasting money and start making smarter choices.
If you’ve ever felt like the beauty industry is playing you… well, it probably is.
See you around.

Let’s make this the year of good skin.

Join the early few waking up to a broken industry and learn to take care of your skin the right way.
