Danucera Diaries

Entry 16: Ava Tsen

I’m passionate about art and graphic design, and lately, I’ve been rediscovering my love for painting in my spare time. I also enjoy staying active, whether it be by leading my field hockey team as captain, working out at the gym, or practicing traditional Cambodian dance. I’m always up for a shopping spree—especially if it involves makeup and clothes. I’d never say no to a trip to the mall! Lastly, I’m obsessed with animals—and honestly, I prefer them over people. If I happen to slip away during an event, there’s a good chance I’m probably quietly tucked in a corner, giving all my affection to the resident cat or dog.

"I started getting facials at Rescue Spa when I was 13, and the estheticians there really helped me get to know my skin. They recommended Danucera, and once I added it to my routine, it instantly became a fave."

Q: Tell us a little about yourself?

Ava: I love art, animals, shopping, and field hockey. I’m really into painting and cultural performance art too. I’ve been learning traditional Cambodian dance at a local nonprofit called CAGEmpowering. It’s kind of my way of staying creative.

Q: Which is your favorite Danucera product and why?
Ava: My favorite Danucera product is the D22 Tonic. I have breakouts and this really helps calm my skin without making it feel dry or tight. It doesn’t smell weird like a lot of toners do.

Q: Why do you choose Danucera for your skincare routine?
Ava: I started getting facials at Rescue Spa when I was 13, and the estheticians there really helped me get to know my skin. They recommended Danucera, and once I added it to my routine, it instantly became a fave.

Q: When it's too hot to move, what is your go-to activity with friends?

Ava: My go-to activity in the summer is to watch movies on my couch with my best friend.

Q: Any summer traditions you look forward to every year?


Ava: I’m definitely more of a pool girl than a beach girl, so I always look forward to spending time at my family’s pool every summer. It’s kind of my happy place.

Q: What is your top summer skincare tip (that is NOT wearing sunscreen because that's a given!)
Ava: My top summer skincare tip is to cleanse your face consistently everyday.

Q: If we were going to peek into your life on a random weekday afternoon in the summer, what would we see?
Ava: Honestly, I’m probably sleeping until 3pm, hanging at the pool with my friends, or working a shift at American Eagle. It really depends on the day.

Q: Describe your dream summer vacation-Where are you going? What are you doing? Who would be there?

Ava: My dream summer vacation would be spent swimming in turquoise waters in a Bora Bora resort with my family and best friend.
