My Story

     My journey into esthetics began as a client long before it became a career.

For most of my life, I struggled with acne, scarring, and persistent post-inflammatory erythema. I spent years moving between dermatology offices and med spas, trying aggressive treatments that promised fast results. While some offered temporary improvement, nothing ever felt like a complete solution. Over time, it became clear that I wasn’t addressing the root of my skin concern, but instead, I was managing flare-ups, and placing band-aids on issues that would resurface later in different ways. That frustration is what led me to search for a different approach.

​

     Before I found esthetics, I was pursuing chemical engineering. I was drawn to the science behind how things work, yet I found myself wanting a career that was more personal, one where science could directly improve someone’s day-to-day life. Esthetics became the place where everything overlapped. 

My own history with skin issues, combined with my love for skin chemistry and Korean-inspired skin philosophies, is what ultimately shaped MY Skin Studio. My approach is rooted in long-term skin health, not quick fixes, prioritizing barrier integrity, calming inflammation, and meeting the skin where it is.
