Q: What was your inspiration for you to start SkinCalories?
A: It was born from the desire to supply good quality and trustworthy skincare products that people could depend on, utilizes not only simple, tried and true ingredients, but the latest in emerging technology so that skincare can be fun for everyone.

Q: What made you create a virtual ambassador for SkinCalories and also start the comic series “Broken Seal”?
A: we wants to take the consumer on a journey with “entertainment-centric” branding which pulls the consumer into the brand’s own imagination. So to realize that, we created a universe and characters which the consumer can follow, like Magda, as she pursues her dream of becoming a Kpop star through her lifestyle choices, a training regime, and appropriate skincare, using SkinCalories product line of course!”

Q: Why is the brand concept of Skins Calories illustrated in graphic design?

Through the medium of graphic novel, we are able to tell not only our stories but also the stories of our consumers in the pages of broken seal, as well as have them appear in the pages.

Q: Why did you pick the Active Glow Mist as the signature product of SkinCalories?
A: In Oriental Medicine, the key to beauty and skincare lies in the balance of the elements through various herbs. Put simply, it is a system whereby health and vitality is restored to the body by balancing the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. All skin concerns can be addressed utilizing the elements, and it is important to recognize that your skin symptoms can change as the seasons do. Utilizing the theory of the five elements can help to restore optimum skin health and radiance.

The Active Glow Mist is a water element product and is all about restoring balance to the skin through the replenishment of hydration for women for active lifestyle.and Lavender was chosen for its calming and anti inflammation properties. As I have ultra sensitive skin, this is essentially a product that I will also use for myself.
