Hi there, I’m Jessie!
I created @niceskindays to share my passion for all things skincare, beauty, health and wellness.
My quest for “nice skin” began when I developed acne as a teenager. I would spend all my free time looking up DIY remedies and products I could find at my local drugstore (cue flashbacks to the orange Neutrogena acne wash and putting toothpaste on my skin… we’ve come a long way!), scrolling MakeupAlley for hours and looking for all the skincare tips I could find in the early days of YouTube.
When I moved away for university in 2013, I struggled with both my mental and physical health. This kickstarted my journey to finding balance, both inside and out, and practicing self-care through skincare was a huge part of that.
Managing acne over the years, I learned that my skin looked and felt the healthiest when other parts of my life were balanced. Yes, good skincare products helped, but so did taking care of my mental health, relationships, diet and exercise and lifestyle choices.
In 2020, I started on Instagram (@niceskindays), sharing my favourite products and how my routines were helping me during the pandemic. I was quickly amazed by the sense of community in the skincare and beauty space, and wanted more room to write and link to helpful resources. When I wrap up my day job, I flip open the tabs to this passion project you’re reading now. 🙂
My hope is to create a space for those who love all things skincare and beauty, and inspire others to find small moments each day to feel uplifted.
Thank you so much for being here. If you’d like to get in touch, you can reach me at emailsforjessie@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram. I’m also on YouTube!
