I cannot get over how nice this SPF is. If there’s one thing that is so important in terms of skin health and skin ageing - it’s sun protection. The problem for many people though (myself included) is the texture of SPF can deter from wanting to use it. There’s nothing worse than feeling greasy/sticky and your makeup pilling on top. This product is literally perfection - it absorbs almost instantly and you genuinely can’t feel it on your skin whatsoever. It dries down fairly matte, and is beautiful under makeup if you wear it. Everyone I’ve recommended it to says they can’t use anything else now. The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh Rice + B5 (spf 50+) ✨

Today my business turns 9 ✨
What began as a passion for creating a space of calm and care has evolved into something truly special — a place where every detail is thoughtfully designed to help you unwind, restore and feel completely looked after.
Over the years, it has been an absolute privilege to welcome so many wonderful clients and to be trusted with your time, your wellbeing, and your moments of pause.
I am so deeply grateful for your continued support and loyalty — it means more than words can say.
Here's to many more years of creating a serene, nurturing sanctuary for you to relax, reset and recharge.

Actual sunshine! Doesn’t it just make you feel alive? After months (and months) of gloom and darkness, it feels incredible to see the sunshine, hear the birds sing and see the beautiful flowers staring to burst through. I’m feeling very grateful that I’m in a safe part of the world, and am thinking often of all those who aren’t.
