What is your skin type?
Combination, oily and dry.
Who or what influenced your skincare routine?
Of course, my first influencer was my mom. Recently, it’s been the Dermas from here and abroad. I have social media to thank for making these professionals accessible. 30-second videos and short IGTVs have been a source of knowledge for me when it comes to skincare.

What is your evening skincare routine?
I always make it a point to double cleanse. First with THREE cleansing balm; THREE is a Japanese skincare brand I love. Next, I use Face Shop’s Therapy facial wash. I've tried different kinds of cleansers and a lot dry out the skin. It leaves my skin feeling supple and fresh. When I have full makeup on or my skin feels dull, l add another step and use Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Masque.
I then use Estée Lauder’s ANR (which I use almost daily, I swear by it) followed by La Mer’s concentrate on days when I feel my skin needs more love. After the concentrate, I massage my face with a Gua Sha from The Topiary Store.
