Glow Starts Within — Your Skin Is a Messenger
This Isn’t About Perfect Skin. It’s About Healthy Skin That Feels Like You
I combine biology, Korean self-care, and expert advice to help you understand and respond to your skin’s needs. By decoding shifts like hormonal changes, stress, or health transitions, I guide you through personalized, science-based skincare routines that align with your biology and life stage. This approach isn’t about chasing trends or products—it’s about reconnecting with your skin, your rhythm, and your confidence.
About
A Scientist’s Journey to Healing
Helping You Do the Same
I’m Gabriella Silvestri — a molecular biologist with a PhD from Imperial College London and a Seoul-certified Korean skincare consultant.
But Beyond The Credentials
I’m someone who damaged her skin from years of stress, overuse, sun exposure and neglect — and had to rebuild it with compassion, knowledge, and deep personal care.
Now I help others do the same.
I combine scientific insight with healing rituals to create programs that are gentle, real, and aligned to your life. Whether your skin is breaking out, going through hormonal changes, or simply feels lost — we find your rhythm again, together.
You don’t need perfection — just support that makes you feel confident in your own skin again.
Why Work With Me?
Because I’ve lived the struggle, and I understand the journey to healing.
There was a time when I couldn’t face my own reflection. My skin was a canvas of distress. I avoided mirrors, not wanting to confront the redness, the breakouts, the inflammation. Makeup became my mask—a heavy, chemical-laden shield to hide behind. But it was a vicious cycle: the more I tried to cover up, the worse my skin became. I felt trapped, isolated, and ashamed.
These visible skin concerns made everything worse during significant life changes — like hormonal shifts, aging, and the emotional weight that comes with watching your body evolve in ways you can’t fully control. The connection between skin and self-worth is powerful — and often overlooked. But I believe healing skin also means healing confidence.
This experience isn’t unique to me. Many individuals with visible skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema, report significant impacts on their self-esteem and mental health. The psychological toll can be immense, leading to social withdrawal and a diminished quality of life.
Through my background in molecular biology and my training in Korean skincare, I embarked on a journey to understand my skin—not as an adversary, but as a communicator. Our skin is a living, sensory organ constantly influenced by hormonal rhythms, immune responses, environmental stressors, and emotional states. I learned to observe its patterns, interpret its signals — like inflammation, dullness, or sensitivity — and respond with both compassion and evidence-based care. This transformation wasn’t just skin-deep; it restored my confidence and reconnected me with myself.
Now, I dedicate my work to guiding others through their own skin journeys. Here's how I can support you:
- Empathetic Listening: I provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore your skin health and concerns and your emotional experiences, if any.
- Science-Based Guidance: Utilizing my expertise in biology and skincare, I offer personalized strategies that address the root causes of skin issues to restore or maintain skin health conditions.
- Holistic Approach: Recognizing the connection between skin health and overall well-being, I incorporate practices that nurture both.
- Empowerment Through Education: I equip you with knowledge and tools to take control of your skin health confidently.
- Flexible Support: Whether you're seeking a one-time consultation or ongoing guidance, I tailor my services to fit your needs and comfort level.
Let's embark on this journey together, transforming not just your skin, but your relationship with yourself.
- I bring both science and soul: PhD expertise + emotional intelligence.
- I don’t sell products — I help you choose what truly serves your skin and health.
- My approach includes biology, lifestyle, emotion, and Korean skin wisdom.
- My clients see progress — not because we chase flawless skin, but because we build healthy skin.
- You’ll feel guided, supported, and understood — never pressured.
Who This Is For
Women navigating hormonal transitions (teen, peri/menopause, postpartum).
Skin that feels reactive, lost, or emotionally tied to stress.
People tired of skincare confusion and influencer noise.
Anyone looking for guidance that feels human, honest, and healing.

This isn’t a rigid program—it’s a flexible menu of care, allowing you to choose what works for you at your own pace. Whether through personalized coaching, feedback, or using tools like the Skin Mood Tracker, you can explore different options and earn rewards along the way. The focus is on finding what resonates with your unique skin and life stage, with no pressure or obligation.
1:1 Skin Coaching
“A conversation, not a prescription. A mirror, not a diagnosis.”
A personal session rooted in biology and empathy, designed to decode what your skin is really trying to say.
Maybe your skin is breaking out again and you don’t know why. Maybe you’ve tried. everything and feel overwhelmed. Or maybe, you’re just tired of not feeling at home in your skin. This session is your safe place to pause, reflect, and be guided. We’ll talk through your current routine, skin history, hormonal or stress-related shifts,
lifestyle patterns, and even emotional triggers that may be showing up through your skin. I bring not only scientific tools, but deep personal empathy — because I’ve been where you are. Together, we’ll create a flexible, minimal, and biologically informed plan with clarity, tailored suggestions, and a sense of possibility — not pressure. No commitments. No product sales. Just science, attention, and truth.
→ We meet, we decode your skin mood, and we co-create a simple, powerful routine that respects your biology and your time.
Benefit:
- Clarity on your skin's needs and how to address them.
- A customized routine with starter/intermediate/advanced kbeauty kits that evolves with your skin.
- Empowerment through understanding the science behind your skin.
- Confidence in your skin's health and appearance.
3-Month Reset Program
“You don’t need a miracle. You need a rhythm.”
A seasonal healing journey that brings your barrier, microbiome, and mood back into balance.
Many skin struggles don’t begin on the surface. They begin when the skin’s core systems — its barrier, its microbiome, its water balance — break down from stress, overuse, or internal imbalance. When the skin can’t hold moisture, fight off triggers, or regenerate properly, no serum or treatment can truly work.
That’s why this Reset Program exists. It’s a 3-month journey to restore your skin’s foundation, not just its appearance.
Together, we build a healing rhythm.
→ For those ready to commit to change: seasonal rituals, routine re-alignment, emotional check-ins, and custom wellness support.
Benefit:
- A sense of rhythm, control, and relief.
- Renewed barrier health and hydration retention.
- Deeper understanding of what your skin actually needs.
- Confidence in routines you can sustain.
Group Pampering Workshops
“Like a beauty brunch with your skin as the guest of honor.”
What if skincare didn’t feel like something you had to do… but something you couldn’t wait to do? Joyful rituals shared with others in a soft, safe space — where skincare becomes celebration.
These workshops are just that — soft, joyful gatherings where skincare becomes a celebration. Think calm candlelight, soft music, your favorite robe, or a small circle of likeminded women with herbal tea in hand and glow on the way.
It’s a little like Sex and the City meets spa night: real talk, real laughter, and honest beauty. You’ll follow guided routines with curated products, learn how to tune into your skin’s signals, and indulge in rituals that feel less like work — and more like the reset you forgot you needed.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing. You just need to show up. This is your moment — your mirror time, your stillness, your celebration.
Gather with others (virtually or in person) for rituals, masking, gua sha, Korean skincare education, and honest conversation.
Benefit:
- A glow that begins from the inside out.
- A deeper bond with your own skin — and your beauty philosophy.
- Confidence through connection and joy.
- Permission to take care of you, fully.
- Original idea for at Home celebration (ie. birthday, women’s day, gift).

Seasonal Skin Guides
Your skin changes — your routine should too.”
Each season brings more than a change in weather — it brings a shift in how your skin behaves, what it needs, and how it feels.
Seasonal changes affect hydration, oil production, inflammation levels, and skin sensitivity. Hormonal shifts, lifestyle rhythms, and even mood can follow seasonal patterns too. In winter, dryness and indoor heating may dehydrate your skin barrier. In summer, excess sweat and UV exposure increase sensitivity. In spring and fall, hormonal swings, allergies, and pollution can trigger flare-ups or confusion.
These micro-shifts matter — and ignoring them can lead to frustration and setbacks.
That’s why I created the Seasonal Skin Guides: gentle, beautifully crafted briefings that help you transition your routine with intention and ease. Delivered right to your inbox, they blend science, simplicity, and soulful reminders to reconnect with your skin’s rhythm.
Benefit:
- Skin that stays supported through transitions.
- Fewer flare-ups, breakouts, or dryness cycles.
- More trust in your own observations.
- A stronger connection with your body’s natural rhythm.
Wellness Discovery Kits
“Because skincare doesn’t start at the sink.”
Your skin isn’t just reacting to what you put on it — it’s reflecting everything happening inside of you. That’s why this kit goes beyond creams and serums.
Your skin doesn’t heal in isolation. When digestion, sleep, and stress are supported, your skin reflects it. These elements work synergistically to support barrier repair, hydration, and inflammation control — making your topical routine more effective too.
Designed to nourish you from the inside out, the Wellness Discovery Kit includes Korean-inspired healing support: adaptogenic teas, probiotics for gut-skin balance, red ginseng for vitality, and skin-calming boosters that promote holistic repair.
Perfect as a gift to yourself, a soft reset tool, or a gentle way to start your care journey if you’re not ready for coaching yet.
Benefit:
- A deeper sense of care, from within.
- Improved resilience and skin vitality.
- Enhanced results from your daily routine.
- A reminder that healing starts from all angles.
