My Journey into Essance and Meeting the Founder, Jasmine

I recall meeting Jasmine for the first time in early 2010. We were introduced through a mutual friend over lunch. She mentioned something about her business and what she was planning to do. We were all very excited for her, not knowing that it would become the special and unique brand it is today.

In my early 20s, I didn’t think much about my skincare routine. It only came to mind when I was dealing with acne; otherwise, it wasn’t a priority as my skin had minimal issues. I remember a specific conversation about skincare with Jasmine. I told her that I planned to take care of my skin in my 30s because I didn't think it was important. She told me that it was important to start the process now to have healthier skin in my 30s, rather than waiting. This proactive approach and thinking years ahead was a novel concept to me. Jasmine changed the way I felt and thought about my skin, making me realize it deserved my care and attention.

Over the years, I tried different products but never stuck with any of them due to various reasons like price, quality, or lack of a routine. The first product I tried from Essance was the Revitalizing Moisturizer, which later became one of their top sellers. I was surprised by its distinct and wonderful scent, which made me look forward to using it. Before, I didn’t care much about what I was putting on my body, but I began to notice the difference in radiance and feel when using natural, organic products. These products were gentle, less harsh, and non toxic. I was sold and became one of Jasmine’s first loyal customers.

It wasn’t until my 30s that I fully appreciated Jasmine's advice to not take things for granted and to start taking care of my skin early. I joked with my husband the other day that I’m finally no longer getting carded for alcohol at the age of 38, which is a testament to taking care of my skin early and often. This is a great life lesson to build good habits: be proactive instead of reactive. Having healthy skin has given me the confidence to be myself and saved me so much time from having to get ready. My daily makeup routine is about 5 minutes—just light foundation and eyeliner.

This approach is similar to investing young and early. Around the same time I also changed how I approached my spending and savings. Minimal consistent effort on a skincare routine at a young age can yield extraordinary results in your 30s and 40s. Don’t wait—start early and choose natural, organic products. If you wouldn’t eat it, then don’t put it on your skin. 😊
