Hi, it's me — again. It's been a while since I introduced myself and there are a lot of new faces here, so let me re-introduce myself.

My name is Chrisy (Sooyeon is my Korean name), 41 yrs old (Capricorn ♑️) and I'm into skincare and anything that helps with wellness and longevity. I grew up in Korea and moved to Dallas, TX my senior year in high school. I studied graphic design in college in Baltimore, Maryland. I worked as a graphic designer in marketing and also ran a learning center for 5 years. I'm married with two kids and 4 pets... maybe 5, I lost count 🤭

I started my content creator journey last November with NO clue what I was doing — I just wanted to challenge myself, without much of a goal beyond that. But along this journey, I've started to dream big.

And the reason why is... I want to take some weight off of my husband's shoulders. I watch him carry so much, quietly, without ever asking for anything back. He's the one everyone calls when they need something. He shows up every time, tired or not, and never makes it about him. I don't think he realizes how much he's holding. If I can give him room to breathe, that alone makes every hard moment of this worth it.

Another reason is... my parents worked their whole lives so hard to provide the best for me and my sister. They always give and give without any hesitation. I don't know if I can retire them, but at least I want to hand them a plane ticket and let them explore parts of the world they haven't seen. I want them to take a day off simply because they want to. They gave me everything growing up. I just want the chance to give some of it back.

For a while I was comfortable staying in my lane, not asking for too much, not wanting too much. But somewhere along the way I realized comfort was quietly becoming a cage. So this is me choosing to dream bigger — not because everything is figured out, but because I'm tired of shrinking myself to fit into what felt "safe." by @withchrisy

37 vs 41… and honestly, I think my skin looks better now 🤍

At 37, I was postpartum, sleep-deprived, and not nourishing my body. Here’s what made the biggest difference since:

🥕 Eating for my skin every day
🧴 Barrier first, fewer harsh actives
🇰🇷 K-beauty hydration layering
☀️ SPF daily, no exceptions
🌙 Tretinoin + retinal, alternating nights

Treatments that worked for me: Pico laser, Ultherapy, Liftera, PDRN, Sculptra, and PRP under the eyes ✨

Don't get me wrong. Aging well isn’t about looking younger. But it’s about feeling good in your skin 🤍

The 5-minute high protein and high fiber simple meal 💚

No cooking, no stress, just a high-protein lunch that keeps me full and supports my skin from within.

Why I love it:

🍗 Rotisserie chicken: protein, the building blocks of collagen for firm skin
🥕 Shredded carrots: beta-carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A for healthy, glowing skin
🫛 Peas: plant protein and fiber to keep you full and support your gut (hello, gut-skin connection!)
🍋 Lime: vitamin C, which your body needs to make collagen, plus a fresh, bright kick
🫒 Olive oil: healthy fats and polyphenols, plus it helps your body absorb the beta-carotene from the carrots

Toss it all together with a squeeze of lime, sprinkle in some olive oil, salt and pepper. And lunch is done in minutes. It's perfect for busy weeks and meal prep too.

I started noticing white hairs and it freaked me out… so I'm making the black sesame balls Asian moms have sworn by for generations 🖤

In Korean and Chinese food culture, black sesame has long been eaten for strong, dark hair. I made my own version packed with nutrients your hair needs:

🖤 Black sesame: iron, copper, and zinc to support healthy hair
🎃 Pumpkin seeds: zinc for hair growth
🥜 Walnuts: selenium for healthy follicles
❤️ Goji berries: vitamin C to help absorb iron
🌿 Moringa: iron, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants to nourish hair from within
💪 Collagen: building blocks for keratin, the protein hair is made of

No bake, ready in 15 minutes, and they taste like a sweet, nutty treat. I'm eating 1–2 a day, so follow along for my hair update!

14 days of olive oil shots for glowing skin… was it worth it? 🫒✨

1000% YES!!! The secret is polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help protect your skin from within.

@zoefull Wild Olive Oil has 1,796 mg/kg of polyphenols, about 20x more than standard olive oil. It comes from rare wild olive trees in Greece, is hand-harvested early, and is third-party tested. That peppery kick means it's the real deal!

After 35, polyphenols help fight the oxidative stress that breaks down collagen and dulls our glow. My skin has felt softer, more hydrated, and more radiant. It really gives you that glow-from-within look!

💡 2 teaspoons every morning, straight up. You can add lemon for detox.

6 skincare products that I recently emptied 🤍

1️⃣ Rejuran PDRN Emulsion
PDRN (salmon DNA) + hyaluronic acid + ceramides for barrier repair and deep hydration. My skin feels plump and bouncy.

2️⃣ Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
Niacinamide + centella + panthenol. My go-to when my skin is red or irritated.

3️⃣ OneSkin OS-01 Face Cream
A retinol-free, longevity-science approach built on their own OS-01 peptide. Gentle enough for AM and PM, and my skin looks smoother over time.

4️⃣ Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Serum
Calms redness and helps fade dark spots without drying me out.

5️⃣ Celimax Retinal Skin Booster
Retinal works faster than retinol with less irritation. Smoother texture without the flaking.

6️⃣ Centellian 24 Madeca Cream
Madecassoside (cica) to soothe and support my barrier, especially after retinal/tretinoin nights.

A little peek into my typical day 🤍

Snuggle with my little one (he likes to snuggle when he wakes up 🥹), we love big breakfast, lunching while working, hit the gym before picking up kids from school, volleyball training for my big kiddo (2nd workout for me to pick up balls), cook dinner and bed time with kids and lights out for the day! ❤️

What does a typical day look like for you??? Tell me below!!

Skincare you can drink 🍷✨ (and it's good for your bones and hormones too!)

Pomegranate is one of my favorite ingredients for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Here's why:

🍷 Skin glow. Pomegranate is packed with antioxidants like punicalagins and ellagic acid, which help fight the free radicals that age our skin and may help protect our collagen.

🍷 Hormone support. Pomegranate contains natural plant compounds called phytoestrogens. As our estrogen naturally starts to shift in our late 30s and 40s, foods like this can be a gentle, nourishing addition to our routine.

🍷 Stronger bones. Estrogen helps protect our bones, so bone health becomes even more important as we age. Early research suggests pomegranate's polyphenols may help support bone density and slow bone loss.

🍷 Gut-skin connection. Pomegranate polyphenols feed your good gut bacteria, and a happy gut often shows up on your skin.

Juicing has been part of my life for years, and it actually started during one of the hardest seasons my family went through — my grandfather's cancer treatment. My mom made him fresh juice every single day, and it made such a difference in his energy. That's what got me into juicing in the first place, and I never stopped 🧡

My parents and I have been using @huromamerica for years now — genuinely the best juicer I've ever owned. Their Slow Squeeze Technology preserves so much more of the nutrients than a blender or anything store-bought, and the H330 lets me add everything in at once (huge win as a busy mom of two 😅).

4-5 years into this, and my skin tone's better, digestion's better, and I rarely get sick. Especially with this carrot juice trend everyone's trying — my glow has never been better.

Fresh juice is at its nutritional peak the second it's made — even the unpasteurized store-bought stuff can't hold that same strength. Making my own really is the only way to get what you're paying for.

If you're curious, my 10% code is below 👇

My newest skin “recipe” isn’t going in my blender… 😝

At 41, after two kids, working out consistently, and doing ALL the things for my skin, I realized there was one thing I’d been completely overlooking: my body

I’ve been using retinal + tretinoin on my face for years, so why did it take me this long to think about using a retinoid on my body too?!

It honestly never really hit me until I found the @muradskincare Retinal Resculpt Body Treatment.

Retinal + skin-firming ingredients designed to help improve the look of crepey skin, texture, and stretch marks. Basically… skincare, but for the body. 🤍

And this is my stomach 4 weeks apart. Same workouts, same routine — the only thing I added was this. Not to mention , the texture of this cream is so heavenly!! It’s so buttery rich.

I've honestly been a little insecure of my loose, crepey belly skin but I’m excited to add some elasticity on those loose skin!

Comment BODY and I’ll send you the link! ✨

Here are 5 ingredients that actually help regenerate your skin cells.

I get asked constantly what’s actually worth it in skincare versus what’s just trendy, so I broke down the 5 ingredients doing the real work at a cellular level: retinoids, vitamin C, peptides, AHAs, and niacinamide.

Honestly, I wish I started tretinoin and retinal at an earlier age. I use them every other day and rotate. I really see a huge difference in overall texture and fine lines.

Save this for your next skincare aisle trip 📌

10 tiny habits that age-proof your skin (that actually work) 🤍

Save this one, you’ll want to come back to it.

1. SPF, every single day

2. Olive oil + omega-3 shot

3. Juicing for that glow

4. Moisturize on damp skin

5. Sunlight in your first hour awake

6. Vitamin C in the morning

7. Stop over-exfoliating

8. Prioritize protein and healthy fats

9. Manage your stress

10. 8+ hours of sleep, non-negotiable

None of these are extreme or expensive, just small things done consistently.
