I believe a thorough skincare review should address several key concerns to ensure that readers can determine whether the product is right for them. First, it’s important to discuss the product’s compatibility with different skin types. For example, this includes whether the product suits dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin. Highlighting the product’s ingredients and explaining their potential positive or negative effects can help customers understand how it fits into their routines. Second, efficacy is crucial, as I would evaluate whether the product delivers its promised benefits, such as hydration, brightening, or acne prevention. Lastly, safety is a critical concern, so I’d assess whether the product avoids harmful chemicals and prioritizes eco-friendly packaging. 

I am extremely comfortable trying new skincare products and providing in-depth, thoughtful feedback. Over the years, I’ve purchased and tested a wide variety of skincare products seeking which ones are the most compatible for my skin. This has given me firsthand experience with different formulas, ingredients, and their effects on various skin types. My extensive research on skincare ingredients, such as identifying how fragrances or alcohols can impact sensitive skin, has equipped me with the knowledge to evaluate products critically and objectively. I’m passionate about helping others make informed decisions after being educated on what products are best suited for them, and I approach testing new products with curiosity and enthusiasm. Additionally, my experience with digital marketing and social media engagement allows me to effectively share my feedback with a wider audience in an engaging and visually appealing way.

I believe water quality is a fundamental aspect of human health, yet it often goes unnoticed until it becomes a larger issue. As someone passionate about environmental sustainability and human health, I believe that access to clean, safe water is not just a necessity but also a right. Sustainable solutions like the LARQ bottle effectively cover two critical issues simultaneously: reducing single-use plastic waste and ensuring water safety. At UC Berkeley, where environmental advocacy is a core value, I believe that I can use this opportunity to educate peers on taking caution when it comes to unfiltered water and the importance of sustainable practices.
