Prior to when I founded Sokedion, I’ve always had combination skin type which is oily at the T-zone and dry at the jaw area. Finding the right skincare product that catered to my skin type was always challenging because those that claim their products were good for my skin type were not always good for me and unfortunately made things worse.

Because of the oily part of my skin, I was very self-conscious, always looking in the mirror to see how oily my face was, feeling like my face was always dirty and sometimes embarrassed that people were looking at my oily face and that was no fun. I used to make fun of myself that I could fry eggs on my forehead with no extra oil because I had enough oil on my forehead to do it. I know, TMI but no joke that’s how I felt.

As a Registered Nurse working night shift, it was very stressful for me as well, which made my combination skin worse,
