About YINA

If you’ve ever tried acupressure, acupuncture, gua sha, jade rolling etc then you are practicing traditional Chinese healing methods. These methods are often appropriated and never given proper homage, which is why I’m excited that a brand like YINA exists. They pay true homage to these ancient traditions and know-how with professionals of TCM at the helm. Ancient Traditional Chinese medicinal plants are synergistically blended into luxurious, artisanal and advanced formulas made for the modern world.

YINA is one of those hidden gems in the green beauty world that only a select few know about, and once you do, you feel like you’re in a special club. So, welcome to the club!

YINA Divine Bio Cellulose Sheet Mask

The top bestseller in the YINA line, and if you ever try this mask, you’ll understand why. The material and essence of this sheet mask is la creme de la creme, and treating myself to this pricey $20 mask is a thoroughly satisfying indulgence. I deserve this. I deserve this. I deserve this.

YINA masks are a magical experience that make it hard to go back to generic sheet masks. A facial treatment in and of itself, each sheet goes through 21-days of fermentation and is infused with Chinese medicinal herbs like Ginseng, Centella, Jujube Fruit, Mung Bean, Chuan Xiong, Hyacinth Orchid Root, Chinese Cucumber Root, and Job’s Tears to stimulate your skin’s natural process of rejuvenation.

My skin is intensely hydrated and rejuvenated after using these masks.

YINA Essential Mist

Summer belongs to the fire element which can manifest as lethargy, anger, dehydration, disturbed spirits, anxiety, heart palpitations, and sleeplessness.⁠”

– YINA Co-founder Angela

I think the name could use a little facelift, because it doesn’t do the product justice at all. YINA Essential Mist begins in a base of Ophiopogon Tuber Extract and American Ginseng extract and enhanced with Cordyceps, Lotus, Rose Geranium, Schisandra, Skullcap, Snow Mushroom and White Tea. If you’ve ever wanted a ginseng scent-dominant face mist, you’ll find it with YINA’s mist. This smell takes me back to childhood memories of my mom bringing me to Korean acupuncturists and traditional medicine shops in Koreatown. This face mists is juicier than most face mists and feels very hydrating and refreshing.
