The Story of My Beauty Diary
What is the backstory behind Taiwanese skincare brand My Beauty Diary? Whether you’ve tried many of their sheet masks or you’re just starting out, My Beauty Diary has played an important role as a trend-setter in the Asian beauty world. Although sheet masks were not invented in Asia, it has become a core part of Asian skincare offerings with thousands of choices available.
My Beauty Diary started in 2004, the same year that the iconic Taipei 101 building’s construction was completed. Asian beauty products weren’t as popular around the world yet, as with skincare in general. In the beginning, My Beauty Diary focused their efforts to fulfill the “varied needs in skincare across Asia through a continuous development of innovative products.” This motto may sound a bit technical but it’s not without its merits too.
Like other Taiwanese companies, My Beauty Diary came from a manufacturing background in pharmaceutical products. This meant that they could create sheet masks using advanced manufacturing techniques with better quality, affordable prices, and a more comfortable fit. It’s no wonder that My Beauty Diary sheet masks quickly became popular in Asia and eventually the rest of the world.
Anatomy of a My Beauty Diary Sheet MaskMy Beauty Diary sheet masks primarily use a tencel / lyocell fiber which is a non-synthetic material derived from natural wood pulp. Advanced interweaving techniques make these sheet masks highly breathable, thin, and form-fitting while keeping costs affordable compared to more expensive materials like silk.
The next crucial part is the skincare serum. My Beauty Diary uses no parabens, MI, or MCI preservatives but are still able to make products with high stability and long shelf-life from sterile in-house manufacturing processes and quality control. After the serum is added to the sheet mask, each mask is measured for its precise weight.
Maybe this all sounds nice but you’re simply wondering “how can I improve my skin?” We have you covered below.
