About Me

Get to know the person behind the reviews, routines, and photography.

Hi, I'm Caryl

Welcome to the caryl edit. — a space where I share honest skincare reviews, minimal beauty routines, and the occasional lifestyle tidbit. I'm the writer and photographer behind every post you'll find here.

My approach is simple: I test products across the full spectrum — from affordable drugstore finds to high-end luxury skincare — and write about what actually works. I don't believe you need a 12-step routine to have great skin, and I'm drawn to brands that keep things straightforward and effective.

I have dry and eczema-prone skin, so a lot of what you'll read here is shaped by that experience. I'm always on the lookout for gentle, nourishing formulas that calm and support sensitive skin without compromising on results.

Beyond skincare, you'll spot the occasional lifestyle post — whether it's customising an iPhone home screen or sharing a favourite reusable coffee cup. This blog reflects the things I genuinely enjoy and want to talk about.

If you'd like to get in touch, head over to the Contact page. I love hearing from readers who share the same passion for skincare and minimal beauty.
