Growing up in Hong Kong, where skincare is deeply influenced by East Asian beauty leaders like Japan and Korea, I developed a natural passion for sheet masks. In a culture where they play a vital role in skincare routines, sheet masks have been a staple in my regimen for as long as I can remember. Using them religiously every week has helped me overcome skin concerns and feel confident in my own skin.

After living in Dubai for over a decade, I still had to travel back to Hong Kong just to stock up on sheet masks. The ones available locally couldn’t match the quality and results of leading East Asian brands. It seemed unbelievable that I had to go to another country for a skincare essential I had relied on my whole life. Frustrated yet passionate about the benefits of sheet masks, I decided to create GLIST.

But GLIST is more than just a premium, clean skincare brand - it represents my journey of self-care and transformation. After more than ten years in the corporate world, I was physically and mentally drained, struggling with depression, and feeling lost. I had spent so much time prioritising work that I forgot to prioritise myself. GLIST became a turning point - a reminder that self-love comes first.

I created GLIST for those who lead busy lifestyles, live in fast-paced cities, or want to escape time-consuming skincare routines. Skincare shouldn’t be complicated; it should seamlessly fit into daily life, making it easy for people to care for their skin and feel their best. Sometimes, self-care is as simple as indulging in a quality sheet mask while watching a film and enjoying a glass of wine.
