When it comes to glowing skin, few voices shine brighter than Ava Lee, the creator behind Glow with Ava and By Ava. Known for her “K-beauty meets science” approach, Ava’s refreshingly honest reviews and down-to-earth philosophy have earned her millions of loyal followers. In this week’s episode, Ava joins Dr. Mamina and Dr. Jenny to talk about skincare myths, her “Jello Skin” movement, and how balance—not perfection—is the real secret to lasting radiance.

[00:02:00] 🚫 Overhyped: Beef Tallow
Ava calls it like she sees it — beef tallow is overhyped. There are plenty of safer, more effective ingredients that deliver glow without the grease.

[00:02:43] 🌿 The Underrated Hero: Mugwort
This centuries-old Korean ingredient calms inflammation, fights bacteria, and soothes irritation — plus, Ava even loves it in desserts! 🍵

[00:05:00] 💧 Skipping Moisturizer?!
Her controversial confession: if she had to skip a step, it’d be moisturizer. Instead, she layers hydrating toners and serums for that same supple finish.

[00:11:00] 🍮 What “Jello Skin” Really Means
Forget filters — Jello Skin is about resilience, hydration, and health from the inside out. Think bounce, not perfection.

[00:14:00] ⚖️ Balance > Perfection
Even glow queens eat pizza and fries! Ava reminds us that balance — not restriction — keeps both your skin and your soul happy. 🍕✨

[00:18:00] 🇰🇷 The Truth About K-Beauty
It’s more than 10 steps and cute packaging. K-beauty is about innovation, gentle formulas, and prevention — not damage control.

[00:23:00] 💼 From Finance to Glow
Ava quit her corporate job before she had followers or income — purely out of passion for skincare education. That leap of faith paid off. 🙌

[00:30:00] 🍵 From Hobby to By Ava
Her wellness line wasn’t planned — it grew from the superfood teas and blends she shared online that healed her gut and boosted her glow.

[00:33:00] 🌏 East Meets West Wellness
Daily movement, herbal elixirs, and a touch of science — Ava bridges traditional Eastern wisdom with modern skincare insight.

[00:45:00] 💆‍♀️ Her Secret Glow Hack
Lymphatic drainage + gua sha = instant refresh. Ava swears it sculpts, smooths, and revives her face (and mood) in minutes.

From gut health to glow hacks, Ava Lee proves that true radiance isn’t about perfection — it’s about consistency, curiosity, and care from the inside out. ✨ Her honest, balanced approach to beauty reminds us that glowing skin starts with how we treat ourselves — not just what we apply.
