Alyssa Tan

Senior Beauty Editor

Hey,

I’m an obsessed wife, mommy to a little boy, fashion enthusiast, and skincare junkie. I’m also mommy to a 3-year-old furry baby, a Golden Retriever.

I love healthy food and find cooking therapeutic.

Only after an MBA and an untouched Engineering Undergrad qualification did I understand my passion for writing, expressing, and photography could be channeled into something beautiful.

Thus, by 2022, I was serious about writing. It has been an incredible journey ever since.

I’m a beauty content creator passionate about socially and environmentally sustainable brands.

Korean Skincare has a special place in my vanity. My love for makeup and skincare fills up this internet corner as much as my cupboards.

I have acne-prone skin, and my skin is starting to show signs of aging. It's my fault because I never wore sunscreen until now. Another one of my skin concerns is hyperpigmentation – thanks to many days spent in the Indonesian sun without a hat or sunscreen (resulting in sun spots) and being pregnant with my son (resulting in melasma).

Garden of Muses mostly has me reviewing products, a lot of them Korean!
