“In 2022 I’m determined to listen to my skin when it tells me what it needs.
Even though we don’t have seasons, I’ve found that my skin can easily go from oily to dry to sensitive, and I intend to have a stable of products that address these concerns at the ready. Also very sobering: my under-eye area telling me it’s definitely time to get consistent with eye creams and serums.”

“I am aiming for glowing, healthy skin in 2022. We’ve WFH for a long time since the Covid-19 outbreak and as a result, skin is dull and the struggle with maskne is very real.
More than a flawless complexion, I’m hoping to achieve a lit-from-within glow that only comes with healthy skin. That said, WFH has also made me reflect on what I need most. Hence, for 2022, I am opting for a more pared-back skincare routine with only the essentials.”
