Growing up in a first-generation household with traditional Guyanese roots, founder Alyssa Ashley, centered her routine around naturally effective ingredients, which became integral to her well-being.
Whether blending pomegranate extract and rosehip oil into moisturizers or spraying homemade magnesium spray and massaging her palms at night, she discovered that this blend of natural antioxidants and minerals delivered real, visible results in improving her mood and her skin.
She learned early on that skincare isn’t just a routine—it’s a lifestyle.
With nearly a decade of experience in lifestyle and consumer packaged goods, she recognized a gap in the skincare market for a brand that integrates inner wellness with outer beauty.
Thus, In Real Life Skin was born, with a mission to provide products that nourish, illuminate, and soothe.
Her mission is simple: promoting healthy skin, positive mindsets, and overall well-being.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
