I’m Jin! I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and now call the Chicago suburbs my home. Having lived as a Korean in the U.S. and traveled to various countries, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. I am also a wound care certified registered nurse, so human skin is my all-time favorite subject! I am interested in the newer ingredients many brands are experimenting with to improve our skin conditions recently.
One question I hear more frequently from people I meet is, “What skincare products do you Koreans use?” As K-beauty continues to gain global popularity—alongside Korean pop culture, food, and traditions—I realize just how many people are eager to unlock the secrets of Korean skincare.
That’s why I created this blog—to share my knowledge about skin and skincare as a wound nurse and Korean, and to help friends worldwide discover the best Korean beauty products and routines for healthy, glowing skin. Whether you’re looking for solutions to your skin concerns or simply want to explore the magic of K-beauty, you’re in the right place. I hope you find this blog informative, trustworthy, and accessible.
