Tell us, how does your work and life affects your skin?
Wearing makeup frequently, and sometimes all day at shoots, affects my skin’s ability to “breathe”. Outside of shoots, I try to stay as bare-faced as I can so that my skin can “rest”.
How has the stress of the pandemic affected your skin?
Wearing a mask all day has made my skin more sensitive. On top of that, it’s also getting warmer in Korea as we’re moving into summer. So I’m prioritising hydration, as well as soothing care, these days.
What is your top tip for preventing maskne?
Thorough cleansing and ensuring that your skin is well-hydrated. It’s also important to change your mask frequently.

What advice would you give to someone who is struggling with their skin?
I think that lifestyle is important to get healthy skin – having good eating habits and a regular daily schedule. Skin troubles are easily visible and they can be quite stressful. Touching your skin frequently or having irregular sleep can worsen it. So try to care for your skin by focusing on soothing, hydrating and cleansing it. I love to eat fresh fruits, and I am trying to drink more water and sleep better.
One piece of beauty advice you’d give to your younger self?
I would say: hydrate more to keep your skin healthy and youthful.
