We had the good fortune of connecting with Christina Kim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christina, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
Over time, my approach to balancing work and life has undergone significant changes. Initially, I was entirely focused on work, often neglecting my personal life in the process. However, as I’ve matured, I’ve come to realize the importance of achieving harmony between the two.

For me, achieving balance goes beyond effective time management; it involves integrating my professional aspirations with my personal well-being seamlessly. This task isn’t particularly challenging for me personally, as promoting quality skincare products isn’t just a business endeavor but also my passion. That’s why I founded my skincare brand, KIMKRIS Beauty, based on the “Slow Beauty Philosophy.” This philosophy emphasizes slowing down amidst our hectic daily lives to promote holistic healing through consistent routines and self-care practices. It’s about knowing when to push forward and when to take a step back to recharge.

Today, I prioritize balance by knowing what means the most to me—both in my career and personal life. It’s about discovering a routine that suits me best, allowing me to thrive in my professional endeavors while still dedicating time to myself and my loved ones.

I’ve come to view balance as an ongoing journey rather than a fixed destination. It requires continuous adjustment and fine-tuning. Along this journey, I’ve realized that achieving balance isn’t just beneficial for me—it’s essential for my overall well-being and success.

What should our readers know about your business?
My journey to where I am today in the beauty industry has been both challenging and rewarding. Building a successful skincare brand from the ground up was certainly not easy, but overcoming obstacles has been an integral part of our growth story.

One of our major challenges was establishing our brand identity in a competitive market. We needed to set ourselves apart by offering more than just skincare products. In addition to incorporating highly effective patented ingredients like HMB and 2HOBA, we aimed to create a movement focused on holistic self-care. Embracing the “Slow Beauty Philosophy,” which opposes society’s obsession with quick fixes, we emphasized the importance of taking time for oneself amid life’s hustle and bustle.

To overcome these challenges, we focused on authenticity and transparency. We cultivated genuine connections with our customers, recognizing that listening to their feedback is the cornerstone of our approach and what keeps us grounded.

Throughout this journey, I’ve learned invaluable lessons about perseverance, resilience, and the power of authenticity. Every setback has been an opportunity for growth, and I’ve come to understand that success is not just about achieving goals but also about staying true to our values.

What I want the world to know about KIMKRIS Beauty is that we are more than just a skincare brand; we are a community dedicated to empowering individuals to prioritize self-care and embrace their natural beauty. Our products are meticulously crafted with integrity and care, only using high-quality ingredients that nourish both the skin and the soul.

Our story is one of passion, purpose, and perseverance, and we are committed to continuing our journey of inspiring others to embrace the beauty self-care.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
In my opinion, Orange County has the finest beaches in Southern California. I would treat my best friend to a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway, starting from Huntington Beach and continuing all the way down to Laguna Beach. Our first stop would be Balboa Island to explore charming local shops and admire the beautiful beach houses. Perhaps we could even rent bikes and cruise along the boardwalk in Newport Beach. Then, we would head south toward Laguna to see the breathtaking sunset.
