She shares her love of all things beauty-related on her platform.
In this post, she has looked to the East for some inspiration.
“You cannot rely on only skincare products to achieve great skin," she said.
“Our diet plays an important role, so I recommend incorporating skin food receipes into your diet."
One of her favorites was a traditional spicy Korean dish.
It's like a sauerkraut, she said, made from fermented vegetables.
“One advantage of fermentation is that it preserves the goodness of vegetables," she wrote.
"In addition, some bacteria synthesize new nutrients, such as vitamins C and B."
She ate her kimchi with relish in this video. But she also adds it as a side dish.
“I eat Kimchi with many things, from fried rice to dumplings or straight out of the jar."
There's a reason Koreans are known for their glass-like visage.
“Koreans eat kimchi every day. It is a natural probiotic, which is very beneficial for your stomach and skin beauty," she said.
“And fermented food is great for you. It has lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
"And it is said to prevent wrinkles in the selenium found in garlic," she added.
"It is so easy and affordable."
