Somi is so beautiful! I love that she’s interested in skincare at such a young age and spreading that love for it. Love to all of you! ❤️

When Somi was little she was in a survival kpop TVshow and her and her teammates went out to the street and gifted mask packs at everyone who walked past. 😂 She loves a mask pack!

I'm a mix of Chinese and Indian. I used to hear adults and kids talked about me behind my back. Hearing them whispering among each other, wondering what 'race' or where I'm 'originated' from hurts so much. But now I'm 28 and proud I'm a mix. It does not hurt me anymore, instead I confront them sometimes. Being mix doesn't make me worthless or less loved. Love the Intro Susan 😍 I can totally relate. Also love your videos.

Favorite part of this video was finding out you were half Korea and half Mexican. I had no idea and I LOVE IT! How amazing is it that you had such a unique culturally blended upbringing.

[@unraveluni]

im half korean and half mexican like you susan! that intro touched home 🥺 i have struggled a lot with bullying and my identity and its a very unique experience that no one understands unless they are mixed themselves. its so hard to identify yourself and know who you are when ur mixed but im slowly accepting both my sides love the video

I like Kelly Driscoll's use of the phrase "Well Aging". There isn't anything wrong with aging but there also isn't anything wrong with using products that help you to age "well" (which can mean different things to different people).

[@elizabethd.1876]

What?! Susan you’re half Mexican. Never in my life would’ve thought of it. Thank you for embracing mixed cultures kudos to you 😁

[@veronicaivanova]

I didn't know who Somi was until I saw her routine but she is really cute 😊 I am not mixed, so I can't say I have had the same experience like someone who is mixed race but I always thought being mixed is such a privilege as you belong to more than one culture. I think it is very special and I feel so bad that so many mixed people have gone through hard times just because they aren't from a single race. Thank you for the lovely message at the introduction, Susan!

[@antaraG168]

At 19, i just cleansed my skin with a facewash and went out and about. I was blessed to not have any acne and i thought i was doing it right. Although I don't have any hyperpigmentation till this day but i regret not using sunscreen at daily basis. So it's good to see girls at 19 today are way ahead at their skincare game

Wow Susan I really appreciated your comments about wrinkles and just loving your skin for what it is! I have always hoped to hear that from you, I think it is so important that we just love our skin and who we are, and just take care of ourselves.

Yay!!! 2 reaction videos in 1 week!!! I was missing these, they are my favorite!! Thanks, Susan! I am so blessed by all you had to say in this video about being mixed and about being confident in the skin you have. I appreciate you and your experience and thank you for sharing!

[@SimplyShellaby]

Being a mixed kid myself it definitely is a different experience growing up! Dealing with two cultures at home, as a young teen it was very hard. Especially with cultural identity. But now I’m very proud of who I am! 💕🥰

[@divatashi]

So so sooooo glad to hear u bring up the issues ppl have w aging! It is a natural process and no one expects men to not wrinkle! Audrey Hepburn aged beautifully because she embraced how ur face and body changes as u get older!

[@SF-yh2ot]

I saw a video of Somi sobbing because she was too anxious and shy to express her opinions on the choreography to her dancers and then she said to her producer “People don’t always know I have things on my mind because I always pretend I’m in a good mood”. Her producer (also a friend) teared up too😭

[@haniak24]

That producer is also her boss and ceo of her company.

Yes to mix kids!! I really agree with you on how being mix is different growing up. I’m truly blessed that I am. It’s a beautiful thing and I hope to carry that to my kids.

[@conniethehoarder]

Totally agree it's such a cultural thing to have to look a certain way to be valued. I grew up with my dad picking on a lot of my physical features that I can't change, it took years for me to really build my confidence and figure out my worth. I hope we can all create a better culture where little girls don't have to feel unconfident about themselves just bc of appearance

[@alexisyates28]

Connie W your dad is a poop, glad you have moved past it, he is clearly projecting is insecurities x

[@thegeekoutgirl]

23:23 I was about to say this. Yes, looking your best and presenting the best of yourself can be a cultural thing but I think it's also her profession. If she's an idol in korean music, maaaannnnn the pressure is real there. The public doesn't forgive a single blemish or zit. I've seen so much hate given to these people for little things like that and I'm like "Chill!!!" They're kids and they're still going through puberty. My goodness! And their whole dieting and weight control. That's a whole other subject gah.

[@youheartmel]

The extreme dieting at such a young age will age them so much

[@opheliaforgetmenots]

fr ! these beautiful kids literally got scolded for having normal breakouts. it seems like those people forgot that most of these idols are kids and when i say kids, they are 15/16 years old that are in the middle of their puberty period. during that time, it’s normal to get breakouts because that’s when ur hormones go all hell wire. it upsets me that people are expecting these kids to have perfect skin.

[@sithlord1782]

[@alexisgeiser4387]

Thank you susan! As a mixed kid (cuban, Japanese, and German) I feel so loved by this video. Growing up mixed was really hard, even to this day I get told that I’m not the ethnicities I claim to be. I tend to see it as an advantage to a degree because I feel like I can truly understand people when they speak about their culture’s struggles

[@Samuel96889]

It's like i never get tired of these reaction videos for real😂

[@blue3374]

As a biracial Korean myself, I'm actually really glad that you addressed Somi's background/upbringing in the beginning I now live in the US but I still remember how hard it was for me growing up in South Korea and being the only "foreigner" kid even though I always felt connected to my Korean identity (this wasn't even a super long time ago btw lol I'm currently 20 years old).. even now when I go back during the summers to re-visit, I still see a lot of that going on and unfortunately not as much rapid change as I would hope.. It feels even worse bc I was only raised by my Korean family since birth so whenever people referred to me as the "foreigner kid" it felt weird bc I had never felt connected to my non-Korean side before and now it was all that people were seeing and referring to me as I also started listening to Somi & following her progress bc I related 100% when she talked about her struggles, how alienating it was to be considered an outsider in such a homogeneous society (even though Korea is literally *our* country too), and right down to how she even said she considered plastic surgery to look more Korean.. People still look at me like I have 10 heads or will treat me differently (both in positive & negative ways) when I'm in Seoul so the desire to physically blend in is always there..even now I still find myself over-compensating to be accepted by others... However, I do think being from mixed backgrounds is great and I will always be proud of both my backgrounds :)

[@blxcklab]

You are beautiful. You and Somi doesn't need to change anything. Its hard to feel like you don't belong..I hope for more positive experiences and blessings to come your way

[@popflorals]

Being Asian in America, I'm sometimes treated as a foreigner even though I was born here.

[@Banana11128]

I use to spend so much time focusing on the negative on my face and body and then I read an article saying next time you look in mirror only look at positive things you like and continue training yourself to do this and it really works, while I like to take care of myself ,I don't focus on what I can't control like aging, I see them as just a part of life.just not a in ing at anti aging, but aiming t look after skin is a good tip

[@Ezbpete]

Susan, I really like your message about how we need to feel confident/comfortable “in our skin”, as our real selves. I am 44 years old and am still working on this.😊

[@SusanYara]

I’m still working on it too! It’s really ingrained in us, so it’s not easy.

[@PeachesSkinCare]

As a woman that grew up mixed race I was told I had been adopted I was told I couldn’t come into a friends house or a boy could not date me. On top of that I had a very difficult childhood ( foster care and back and fourth with my mother) I always looked at magazines and television and I only saw blonds with light skin as beautiful and what was accepted. I am who I am in spite of where I came from. I have been blessed to be in a profession ( I am a holistic master esthetician) where I can help so many people of every color and age gain back their confidence and feel they matter! I think it is one of the reasons I don’t love foundations, not only do I feel they age and create issues with our skin ( my beliefs is they are the number one cause of acne and aging besides the sun)but they tell women with color to cover up. They tell ALL women to cover up!Why is REAL SKIN not beautiful and not alright ! I wear no foundation or concealer on my skin in my videos and I believe you can have fabulous skin at any age. I am 54. Just my loving opinion. I love you touched on something very real and sensitive at the beginning and I hope all the men and women out there know they are perfection, and beautiful and amazing! Regardless of the color of their skin or where they come from. 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care

[@joannas6181]

You see blondes, brunettes, red heads, etc and all hair and skin tones in magazines and television. I really do not see only one hair colour or skin praised. That just isn't true and I think is a stereotype that is really over used. Great job embracing yourself though! That is the only way to be. Confident and appreciating who you are! Its not about perfection.

As a multiracial person the article by David Brooks “The Rise of Amphibians” hit it home. I highly recommend reading it esp if you are mixed!

Amphibians are best suited to solve three of the big challenges of their generation”

[@alyssarose2818]

I AM SOOOO HAPPY TO SEE THIS!! Somi is such an amazing person, her personality is everything. She’s so cute and bubbly, yet mature at the same time. Her personality kind of reminds me of JISOOTURTLERABBITKIM in some ways! She’s under TheBlackLabel, which is a sub-company of YG Entertainment (known as the devil of companies, besides Pledis, no one can be worse than Pledis). She’s been through A LOT, and at such a young age too! She was on the survival show Sixteen with TWICE, and was the last member eliminated. She was on produce 101, and made it through the whole show, ranking in first place in the end! She debuted with I.O.I in 2016 with the song “Dream Girls” (I was such a stan, I love the girls so much, I still listen to their songs and keep up with the members in their new chapters. Fun fact: I have the same birthday as Chaeyeon, I’m very proud of that, haha.) Unfortunately, in 2017, I.O.I had to disband because they were meant to be a project group. It was so sad, we didn’t even have a fandom name. Luckily, the members are still in contact! On August 20, 2018, Somi left JYP because she wasn’t given any activities, she was in A show, but that’s it. It’s horrible, considering how popular she was. If she had waiting 1 more year, she would’ve been in ITZY (a popular girl group that debuted in 2019 under JYP Entertainment, TWICE’S little sister group). In 2019, Somi debuted as a soloist under TheBlackLabel (mentioned earlier) with her hit song birthday. Since then, she has only had one comeback. It was in 2020, titled “What you Waiting for”. She actually co-wrote the song! I’m expecting a very bright future for her, she’s been through all of this, and she’s only 19! Her birthday was March 9th (she was born 2001). And yes, I do stan her. A lot.... it’s a problem... I hope this video gets people to look at her music!! (let me know if you got that SKZ pun :D)

What you said about growing up mixed is so true! I'm half Chinese and half white, but my parents are divorced and i was raised exclusively by my asian family. But when i was in highschool, it was almost as if the other kids wouldn't allow me to accept my asian heritage - they'd say I was half white and in America therefore was essentially just white, or say that I was whiter than the actual white kids in my school. It definitely was a challenge to grow up with but i am very proud of my heritage

Ooo I is early

[@lfaz4296]

Do you actually always need to use water based cleanser after oil cleansing? Dry skin can be different. My mom - who has dry skin - said even washing her face with water makes her skin feel tight. She uses milk cleanser, then she wipes off the cleanser with cotton pad and washes her face. And then she uses toner with cotton pad like Somi did. But my mother never wear such heavy makeup so she might not need oil cleanser. I feel oil cleansing + water based cleanser everyday can be too much for some people..

[@blxcklab]

Oil and water based cleansing are actually good for your skin coz some cleansers have alcohol..which removes the ph balance if the skin

[@lfaz4296]

@@blxcklab Nowadays there's a lot of cleansers with pH about 5.5. Even then there's pH balancing toners you can use. I don't get how that is relevant to my argument though...

[@debs_229]

I kinda agree with this. My skin is dry, and if I use cleansing oil alone, I feel that my skin is still comfortable. I usually still double cleanse with a super gentle pH cleanser but that would dry out my skin a little and I have to put on skincare immediately otherwise my skin gets tight. I think it depends on the cleansing oil you use too. The one I use is very light and doesn't leave much of a residue after using it. My toner removes any leftovers so it's not that bad I think.

Is micellar water moist enough to take off eye make up? What do you recommend to remove eye make up? Oil cleanser or balm ?
