Beauty Rituals

Asia Meets Europe. Living in Asia for several years, in Shanghai and frequently visiting my best friend in Tokyo and Hong Kong, I’ve always been fascinated by my Asian friends’ skin. They all look at least 10 years younger than their actual age. Want to know their secret? It’s all about daily routines, feeling dedicated to take out time for their beauty ritual, no matter how busy the day ahead. Their wett look, looks healthy, young and is focussing on maximizing hydration, moisture, and glow.

This stands in sharp contrast to the Western ideal of a mat, dry, powdery skin. Using lots of primers, foundation, and mattening powders. All these products dry out the skin and remove the natural pulp, and moisturising glow.

Years ago, I’ve started the Asian beauty ritual for my face, which revolutionised my skin. Dedicating this time to myself has changed the way I look at myself in the mirror. I like the woman looking at me, because I provide self-care and love to my face everyday.

Many of my European friends started complimenting on my skin throughout the past years. It doesn’t take me more than 5min in the morning and 5min in the evening. Twice a day 5min of self-care, it’s worth it. (my goal is to be up and running within 15min: Shower, skincare, makeup, dress, done ✅).
