1. Gursheel Dhillon
Meet Gursheel, founder and editor-in-chief of Vanilla Luxury, an affordable luxury lifestyle magazine. She considers herself lucky to have understood the importance of skincare, back when she was just 17.
“During my teenage years, I had a horrible phase with acne which really took a hit on my self-esteem and confidence. I was lucky at 17 to be working for an international beauty brand and very quickly learnt the importance of taking good care of my skin, as I saw a drastic change in my complexion. It’s been 14 years now, and I still remove my makeup once I’m home. I am also very religious in my day and night care routine.”
Ever since, she has invested in a career that uncovers the best products and services for both men and women. Although she covers a wide variety of topics ranging from dining to travel, beauty has always been a big part of her professional career. Her honest opinions on skincare lead tons of followers to slide into her Instagram DM’s.
To top it off, Gursheel is also an Internations Ambassador who regularly welcomes newcomers to the country!
2. Faz Gaffa Marsh
A travel, beauty and lifestyle writer, Faz has her byline featured on major publications like Refinery29.com, Bustle and Buzzfeed. As a young mother, Faz navigates a hectic schedule juggling family and work, yet manages to fetch time for her all-time passion: skincare.
The changing needs of our skin is something she talks a lot about.
“Skincare is crucial but I think everybody needs to see a dermatologist once in a while. Sometimes you think your skin is a certain way, but only a doctor knows best. I recommend seeing one when you have a change in lifestyle, whether just graduating, heading into your wedding, or even after pregnancy.
Also, you may have ride-or-die skincare staples but for most of us, our skin changes through the year depending on environmental and hormonal stressors, and personalised skincare takes that into account!”
3. Gail Soh
Gail is a financial advisor, a digital content creator, and a new mother to her 4 months old daughter. What’s amazing is that she’s still maintained that motherhood glow — inspiring, right?
“I’m self-employed so there’s no clear distinction between work and play. As such I tend to neglect my skin when I get busy! Now that I’m also a mother, I make a conscientious effort to apply skincare that is effective and convenient to minimise time wastage and maintain that mama glow!
I started dabbling in skincare when I realised what’s most important is not the cosmetic products you ply on in the day, but the skincare regime you follow during the night. The inner glow is much more effective than any highlighter, because you don’t need any makeup once you have good skin (:”
Gail’s Instagram account reveals the realities and struggles of practicing an efficient skincare routine as a new mum.
