ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hello there! I’m known as Stephanie/Yukaeshi (Pictured).

I’m a self-confessed beauty junkie, among being a blogger; aspiring freelance writer; Chinese metaphysics (Feng Shui, Ba Zi/Eight Characters, Mian Xiang/Face Reading) consultant; book lover/bibliophile; gadget enthusiast; traveller and most importantly, a Psychology graduate going into Sociology with focus/emphasis on organisations.

For a more “personal” aspect of me, please feel free to check out my personal blog at Mnemosyne.

SKIN TYPE/CONDITION

Mainly sensitive and dry and/or dehydrated, with constant redness/flushing on cheeks. Does not like alcohol (The ones usually listed as alcohol denat. or just alcohol, especially in skincare) or mineral oil/paraffinum liquidum the most. Skin tone is usually fair with yellow undertones.

It may not look it, but I had really bad skin during my late teens- acne and the works. I saw a doctor, who prescribed me hormonal medication (Because my acne was hormonal in source), and I also went for a once-every-two-weeks facial at that time until it cleared up. I am, therefore, paranoid about getting break outs again since then.
