About Me

Hi! My name is Elle, and welcome to my blog Thick & Skin.

I’ve always had a difficult relationship with my skin – I had brief acne problems in high school, and now I get an occasional breakout (mostly on my forehead and chin area). I also have very sensitive, combination skin, but my main problem right now is dealing with redness and fine lines (I’m growing old – eek!). The dry climate in Canada definitely doesn’t help.

So this is how I got into Asian beauty and skin care.

I started using many Asian skincare products and experimented with many new Asian beauty trends throughout the years. Being the poor and anxious millennial that I am, I tend to research the heck out of a product before I buy a product or include it in my routine. I figured, since your skin is going to be with you through thick and thin, you should take care of it.

I’m an Asian beauty enthusiast, so I decided to create this blog to share my stories, experiences, and knowledge with everyone. I look forward to exchanging stories and learning from the community!
