From the creation of one of the first-ever fashion blogs, Bagsnob, to a popular beauty hack–themed TikTok channel, entrepreneur Tina Craig likes to stay busy, with her latest sights on U Beauty: a science-based skin-care line that aims to unclutter routines.
Night Light
“I always light a candle beforeI begin my evening skin-care routine. My favorite is the Cander Paris #01 ($92)—it has hints of firewood, citrus and pine.”
Heart of Hearts
Craig’s birthplace, Taipei, Taiwan, has a special place in her heart. “This little island is known for the best Chinese cuisine in the world and a nightlife scene that puts New York City to shame. If you crave a quiet escape, sparkling turquoise waters and majestic mountain retreats are only miles away.”
Space Cadet
With the prospect of commercial space flight becoming a near reality, she shares her fantasy of exploring the celestial expanse. “I have always dreamt of visiting the moon, and now with the launch of SpaceX x NASA, I am ready!”
Moisture Lock
Glowing skin is a part of Craig’s personal—and professional—brand. In the morning, she starts off with a splash of Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water ($66), followed by a pump of U Beauty Resurfacing Compound ($148) and U Beauty Super Smart Hydrator ($168). “I never leave the house without Clé de Peau UV Protective Cream SPF 50+ ($135).”
Green Team
Craig doesn’t drink coffee or alcohol too often, but matcha green tea is a necessity. “My matcha tea is my only vice, if you can call it that. It’s more like a healthy dependence.”
Crown Jewels
Although Craig loves her luxury lifestyle, family is her number-one. When asked about her most prized possession, she says, “Other than my child? My wedding ring—it’s both sentimentally and materially valuable to me.”
