Your skin deserves more than a quick fix—it deserves care. The kind that understands, heals, and supports you through every season.
For me, clear skincare has never just been about appearances. It’s about confidence. It’s about feeling safe in your own skin again. YOU Skincare was born from my own long, painful struggle with acne, sensitivity, and the overwhelming frustration of not knowing what to trust.
As a scientist and skincare formulator, I knew there had to be a better way—so I created it. I started YOU Skincare to offer gentle, effective solutions that are rooted in science and made to work with your skin, not against it.
This isn’t just a brand. It’s a personal mission. And I’m so glad you’re here to be part of it.
Acne isn’t just a teenage phase. It’s complex—tied to hormones, stress, diet, product choices, and your overall well-being. I’ve learned firsthand that when we nourish ourselves holistically—from within and with what we put on our skin—it responds with clarity and resilience.
This is my journey. And it’s the reason YOU Skincare was born.
Growing up, I had combination skin—oily in the T-zone, yet often dry and tight elsewhere. I dealt with sensitivity, breakouts, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that would linger for months.
In my teens and early twenties, my skin was mostly clear—until 2014. After reacting to a popular toner, I turned to “green beauty,” trying every natural and DIY remedy I could find.
Honey masks, oil cleansing, vinegar toners, essential oils—even skipping cleansing entirely (the cavemen regimen!). If it was natural, I tried it.
But my skin only worsened: more texture, more acne, more frustration.
In 2014–2015, my health took a downturn. I was celebrating big milestones—like getting married—while quietly struggling behind the scenes. Stress was constant, my eating habits were off, and I felt bloated, exhausted, and dismissed by doctors. It was a strange, disorienting season—one where I was supposed to feel my best, but instead felt the most unwell. I didn’t realize it was possible to hold both joy and discomfort so deeply at the same time.
I turned to acupuncture and alternative care for relief, but it was expensive and unsustainable. So I took matters into my own hands—hydrating, walking, improving my nutrition, and rebuilding my skincare from scratch.
I simplified everything. No more harsh products. Just gentle care and nourishment.
But something was still missing.
Frustrated with the endless cycle of trial and error, I started researching skincare science. I wanted products that weren’t just clean—but clinically effective. So I began formulating my own.
Small batches. Thoughtful ingredients. Designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
And the results were transformative.
That’s when YOU Skincare was born—out of necessity, care, and the belief that real results come from real science.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with acral lentiginous melanoma—a rare form of skin cancer.
It was unexpected, and it changed me. It reminded me that health is everything.
That skincare isn’t just about beauty—it’s about being in tune with your body, noticing changes, and honoring what it needs.
This experience deepened my commitment to intentional living and holistic care. And it’s why YOU Skincare will always be more than just a skincare line—it’s a brand built on wellness, science, and self-trust.
Everything I create at YOU Skincare is grounded in these truths:
My products are formulated with clinical-grade ingredients, crafted in small batches, and backed by science and soul.
At YOU Skincare, my mission is to create clear skincare solutions that are not only effective but safe, sustainable, and kind to the planet. Every product I offer is formulated with science-backed, skin-loving ingredients—and never includes harmful additives.
I take a modern, thoughtful approach to product preservation by using non-traditional, skin-friendly preservatives that protect your products while supporting your skin barrier. Your safety is always my top priority.
But my commitment goes beyond skin. I strive to build a business that gives back.
Sustainable Packaging: I use durable, recyclable Miron glass that naturally extends shelf life and protects ingredient potency.
Charitable Giving: A portion of my net revenue is allocated to causes that matter—from global charities to local community support.
Transparent Formulation: Every ingredient has a purpose. Every product is made to support healing, not harm.
Clear skin is just the beginning—let’s make an impact together.
Today, my skin is stronger, calmer, and clearer than it’s ever been. But more than that, I feel at peace in my body—and that’s what I want for you.
YOU Skincare exists to guide you through your own healing journey—with gentle, proven products that respect your skin and support lasting results.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. But there is a way forward.
Let’s glow together.
Be healthy. Be happy. Be YOU.
